By class traitor I don't mean a fed or infiltrator. You don't have to go out of your way to denounce leftist ideas or stop the left. You just have to have class interests directly in conflict with workers and the poor. You can let your factory unionize, and take less money. But would you choose to be that factory owner if it meant your current situation improved significantly?

I don't know what I would choose because I have no hopes of owning capital. I would love to quit my job and be free to just own stuff and make money off it. But then I would have to reckon that with my beliefs. I guess you could just accept you can't be a leftist and volunteer for the wall should the day come.

      Ah, our best and brightest scientific minds going to checks notes figure out how to send push notifications at the right time so users engage with their food delivery app more.

        Until Soros starts getting those checks out for people doing praxis people don't need to apologise for making a living if it's not something directly ghoulish.

      I'm also a victim of the "follow your passion" to "just find a job in marketing" pipeline.
