      Russian brainworms?

      It's more like a child/boomer conception by fixating in the word produce. Many farmers or masons might think a waitress doesn't "produce" anything, and so belittle that job. They are working, Bob, you need them, don't be an idiot.

      Sure, we as a society don't need some positions and jobs, say caviar sommelier, NFT curator, megayatchs builders, etc but that's another discussion.

        Arguing in leftist circles about bus driver being/not being in working class is brainworms :shrug-outta-hecks: especially with russian history

      Nah this actually stems from who I suspect is a TERF trying to hide it.

      That said they do also seem to have a grudge against service workers, and if they're from the west that's extra funny.
