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.
