What lack of theory does to a motherfucker. I don't get the USian impulse to think the working class is only made up of reactionary middle aged white men who work in manufacturing factories that barely exist in the US anymore
The working class today is largely service industry workers which happen to be women, right?
Yeah, its an insanely gendered idea of "working class" as "man in hard hat work." Completely erases most of the working class
Reminds me of when chuds used to photoshop Trump in a hardhat with grease on his face. They have such a romantic idea of "work" that's totally divorced from reality. Which is all rich because Trump's base are people who own jet ski dealerships and have never done manual labor in their life, they just love the aesthetic.
Hence, the small business owners are working class, baristas are elites takes
It’s typically because they don’t view anyone else as being on the same tier as a white man
They do make up a chunk of it. I would know since I get the privilage of listening to either the hottest of takes or the wildest of takes out of them every day.
Oh yeah they exist. But for some reason they're the only ones considered "working class." People in the US completely erase POC, women, immigrants, young people, as well as, other kinds of work like service industry, retail, etc.
:fidel-salute: braver than the troops enduring takes that hot comrade
I also do think it's attributed to the working environment you find yourself in. It's quite possible that a lot of these infra-dweebs work in places where reactionary european-americans work and experience the class struggle in a rather monochrome way.
Much like how a lack of exposure to diversity leads mee-maw and pawp-pawp to think every korean-american came from north Korea or literally anyone that speaks Spanish or Portuguese is from Mexico instead of just being normal people like them, I think these infradorks experience something similar and haven't experienced the class struggle beyond their own narrow perspective.
oversized pickup truck = working class
no pickup truck = liberal elite
