I don’t see the solution in mass uprising in America, sadly. The ownership class has done such a thorough and successful job of dividing the working class, not even just left and right, but the people with a small vacation home and a boat thinking they’re any closer to billionaires than I am working paycheck to paycheck. That false superiority and financial contentment will keep them from getting uncomfortable enough to join a movement, and keep stumping for the status quo that got them there. The rest of us, the bottom of the working class, are so split along ideological lines that I don’t think we could ever cooperate. I certainly know that I would have to swallow bile to stand next to a MAGA that wanted to strip my wife of her rights.
