Settlers: "Americans are not proletarian because of their imperial privilege from colonial policing"
RT "journalist" hackfraud: "actually the cops and vets at The Trump capitol riot are our allies, white supremacy isn't real!!! These home owning boomers who supported genocidal imperialism their entire life are suffering a lot when they file for bankruptcy to liquidate their assets"
imagine being rich and privileged enough to be able to file for bankruptcy, I wish I was part of the American working class!
For me, Gramsci's cultural hegemony answers that question of 'why do people act against their own material interests' / 'why do people not grow conscious of their material interests on a systemic level' just fine though
