    What's really fucking funny and sad about this shit is when bernie was running, the worst fucking ghouls ever like Sally Albright, Khive goons, and pete platitude fans tried framing "the working class" as some type of white only dog whistle. I genuinely don't believe that is what bernie meant at all lol—but i suppose there was some sad truth to what can be considered "the working class" in some people's minds. "The working class" has definitely been used to imply white or white passing, and they are the workers of the country, who keep it running or the idea of that. This type of idea is just ingrained in this blood soaked country, it's everywhere.

      It is very akin to the reactions whenever Corbyn would talk about the rich and seemingly every brit automatically assuming that it was a antisemitic dog whistle. Recognizing dog whistles is a good thing, but it is also wielded in a very cynical way against the left.

        that type of idpol shit is definitely a cudgel, which has been shaped and formed though the years. It's incredibly blunt and can be effective, a lot of people recognize how race, religion, or culture can be wielded but still fall to it due to the mass of the swings. It's everywhere, it's really hard for a lot of people to figure out what actually matters, but they also know something seriously fucked up
