Seriously. What happened to working class solidarity?
You don't build it by cheering for their suffering. You take the moment to teach them their mistakes and give them a chance to do better.
You act like thisnis the first time. They've had their chances. I live in rural places and near a lot of farmers and small town people. They fly their fucking flags and espoused their unfounded bullshit and never show any ability to change or learn.
Not all farmers. Not everyone. But there's certainly a lot I am done wasting breath on. Fuck em.
So you willingly abandon your working class solidarity and just become another small minded person spreading working class hate and division. You're part of the problem.
I too live in a small rural town. I'm deep in the heart of Southern Louisiana. I'm all too familiar with people flying their flags of ignorance and hate.
That doesn't give you an excuse to sink to their level of blind hatred because it is easier than seeing the person behind it and understanding that they are as much a victim of the system as anyone else.
I'll exhibit "working class solidarity" the second they stop selling out the working class.
