      Rofl, don’t get me wrong, I WANT to see this actually start something. I was talking to my therapist in my session today about this and my whole “Americans only have a 4 year memory” spiel and like we’ve all seen this before with BLM and women’s rights stuff and it always just fizzles out after a while because we are all too busy getting ground up from existing in a capitalist hellscape. But I will say, I haven’t seen nearly this much focus on “class consciousness” as I have on literally all my socials as I have in the last week.

      It’s weird that it’s such a part of anyone of us that has read theory, that seeing class consciousness get brought up from really any random group, whether it be the blue collar right, the libs, or the socialist-leaning that just haven’t read Lenin or Marx, or whomever, that it actually almost feels promising. Like, we won’t see a revolution because of this of course, but I think between this and this last election, maybe we will really see something happen amongst the prole.

        lol yes the entire country having a cathartic orgasm over this CEO’s death is nothing

        civility poisoned “violence is wrong” handwringing liberals collectively clapping like seals over it is nothing
