I think what frustrates OP is that their entire life and the difficulties they experienced growingn up was already revealed to these people already and it seemingly meant nothing to them. They were at the time close friends and it's painful that not only was that her real experience minimized and ignored by her friends, the idea of that kind of experience might now be a vainglorious facebook psot for likes. Cringe.
And maybe thats how you see the world, but for me making a twitter post isnt radicalizing, its posting. I hate rich people like how I hate cops, even rich lefties.
I'm not disagreeing that it is the predominately popular attitude, especially among the working poor, what I am saying is that it's a poor method of class analysis that deliberately obfuscates things you have in common with other working class individuals, things that could potentially lead to solidarity and revolutionary class struggle. Not that it is particularly likely in the U.S.
I understand the frustration and anger of not 'being recognized' for having the right opinions. Or the intellectual babying that is done towards the upper-middle 'class'. But there is still some value in remembering the parable of the prodigal son. It's just there is no farm for those in poverty to materially still have, unfortunately, so it's not really a one-to-one.
That's why this website with an enormous middle class streak is rejecting it lol
The corpus of comments on this post prove to me utterly that even the epic communists who are middle class are spoiled brats who feel the need to lecture everyone whenever someone expresses envy and resentment of their class position.

How poor is poor enough to not earn your scorn?
Iunno sometimes it just all vibes and a post like this kind of gives me a similar reaction
Ah yes, the Immortal Vibe Based Ambling of Marxist Lenninism. Read a book
:yes-sicko:
Stop making ur mom and dad money guilt my problem
You're making it your own problem all by yourself dawg
Idk, this literally sounds like aesthetics-based class analysis. Might as well think someone with a pick-up truck is automatically 'working class'.
I feel like my attitude is overwhelmingly common amongst the people i grew up with and people who dont have it didnt come from poverty.
