I have no real idea what you're arguing against, but let me know when the revolution starts. (Bonus points if everyone in it actually knows what they're uprising against, if only there was some kind of narrative or thing we could do that will help make everyone align against a common enemy. Oh well, guess we can skip right past that after all.)
I'm arguing against the idea that the left hasn't been preaching working class solidarity for decades. You're acting like it's a novel concept to tell them rich people are the enemy. It's not. It hasn't worked because they are more interested in identity politics than actually helping themselves. Do you think those rather be Russian than a democrat shirts were a joke? It's not about their actual interests, it's about not being woke. They are willing to get covid or measles or bird flu and die to prove they're anti-woke. They aren't interested in hearing about how the wealthy hate them, because they're too interested in hating minorities. If you wanna chat with them, enjoy, but the only way society deals with this kind of thing is by ensuring their bs never gets acceptable. We spent too much time talking to nazis and not enough time punching them and now they have the government.
