  • Asad Haider makes a good point about this in his book Mistaken Identity, namely (IIRC) that the “middle class” has always been an illusion to propel labor and to divide the populace along lines of race and class (which is one of capitalism’s goals). Separately, if we look back at Henry Ford’s famous “five dollars a day” incentive, it wasn’t without a catch— his Sociological Department inspected every aspect of workers’ lives, including their families, to ensure they were appropriately American (white picket fence type stuff, down to nutrition and children’s educational performance). It’s been the white male mythos forever, and needs to be flushed down the toilet.

  • For a good example of striking employees getting fired, see: the air traffic controller/PATCO strike under Reagan in 1981.

    This is painting it with very broad strokes, but you can essentially be fired because they don’t like the color of your shirt buttons in most places (“at-will employment”). Sure, there technically has to be a reason, but your employer can find one.

  • The man’s go-to strategy for literally everything is to fuck it up, declare bankruptcy, hold everything up in court, and brag about his success while shilling merch. This much, he knows very well, and the US is just another business venture at the great capitalist gangbang.

  • This was the one that made my qanon MIL buy a new phone last week because it finally got through her thick fucking skull what these tariffs were going to do. Enjoy those Mexico- and Canada-produced vehicle parts adding $10k+ to your base price.
