I know the leftist in me is supposed to have sympathy for these people and get them to unionize. But only after I stop laughing and enjoying this moment. For years these fucks told the rest of us to “learn to code” and pretended like studying anything else at uni was a fucking waste of time.
GUESS WHAT FUCKERS. SO WAS CODING. Looks like we’ll be baristas together, only I’ll have three years of experience!!!
Bourgeoisified workers do not see themselves as working class because they were specifically elevated above the rest of the working class for their usefulness to the imperial project. They have to be elevated, because otherwise they’d stop being complicit.
So if the bubble is popping that just means they’re being re-proletarianized. I think those types of people are going to find out really fucking fast that they are mere workers like the rest of us, and if we don’t radicalize them they’re just going to become psycho reactionaries.
I guess that’s the point, right? These settlers already were carrying out the necessary actions the imperialists, landlords, etc needed through their gentrification and development of automated surveillance or military systems. Now they’re being re-proletarianized and desperately wish to keep their mouths on the treat dispensers, they’ll kick everyone else down the pile as long as they can keep sucking on the treat teat.
I’m hopeful that time in the dirt with the rest of us will soften them up. Without a constant supply of treats their boogie ideology will either collapse because they’ll realize they weren’t the special boys they were told since childhood or their egos will collapse instead and their ideology will reconstruct itself as reaction.
