I always feel like I'm hanging out in a punk/hardcore music scene (various anarchist groups, psl to some extent) or with lame improv nerds (dsa). I don't see either of these groups connecting with very many working class people. This is obviously a huge problem but (at least where I am) there is very little attempt to organize or recruit people making minimum wage, fast food workers, service industry, manual laborers etc. I mean shouldn't this be the main priority right now? I don't know I'm just venting but I'm baffled by how bad at organizing these groups are. Do they really just like being this cliquey group that is hard to get into and that's what really matters?

      Nah that would only have been the case if you had actually been saying what they all thought you were, which would've been so strange: who has ever talked about 'minimum wage' to mean like the money on the lower end of their career? Nobody ever says that and especially with the context it is to me such a bizarre interpretation. But everyone was seeing it like that, I thought I was going crazy
