Yeah, because of capitalism and how rich the rich have become.
Its like 99% of us all have this big smelly turd. Everyone is fighting to touch the turd.
Theres an enourmous amount of people at the bottom who are just about able to put a finger on the turd. The working class.
A few more who are standing on their shoulders who have managed to get a hand or two on the big turd. The middle class.
And the rest have managed to climb ontop of the turd. The upper class.
Then theres rich people who are shitting out the turd and flushing it away.
The reality is, we all fight to be a higher class of people but compared to people like elon and trump we are all one class. The great big turd class.
You're missing the point; the middle class is an invention of the ruling class to divide the working class so we can fight amongst each other about collar-based gentrification and other nonsense.
Thats what my analogy was saying. We all believe we are of different classes, but really, we are all just fighting over the same giant turd.
I didnt miss the point. You missed mine.
Nah I got it, I just chose not the see a dividing line between feet and shoulders of the working class ;)
Maybe my analogy was bad. You are still saying the same thing as me. Im pointing out the illusion of class differences or your "dividing line" when i describe the levels on the turd. Im not saying i see the lines. Im pointing at the trick that people fall for which you clearly agree with.
