I really want more people to engage with the idea that the utter worst thing a person can do in a economic sense is “rent-seek”. The IDEA of turn key businesses, investment properties, money for nothing means you are taking from someone else.

They’ve attempted to expand this downward into welfare, but that’s a ridiculous canard that doesn’t examine just how much money is being siphoned from the working class by people who leverage capital against them.

Native Americans had the term skin walker to denote animals in human form or vice versa.

There’s the obvious explanation we accept, with almost no evidence that it was referring to witchcraft or shamanism. Maybe a rogue god.

But what if it’s a way to dehuminize someone to make them easier to out-group. A person from another tribe, a person who’s committed a grievous sin, like murder.

Is it describing a mythical creature, or the soullessness of the expression of a murderer. Or “rheumy eyes” of the sick. Something you need to desperately escape to keep your group whole.

For those of you listening at home, the young constable has just thrown up into his helmet. This is the longest continuous vomit seen on Broadway since John Barrymore puked over Laertes in the second act of Hamlet in 1941.

Bringing race or intersectionality into a class debate with the intention of poisoning the well, IS propaganda from the ruling classes. The wealthy elite may look like the monopoly guy in many peoples heads, and that guy is real, don’t get me wrong (especially in the West), and he represents a huge amount of the wealth and power.

But the class struggle exists in parallel, class exists inside race, Indians are suffering under a class system that is being forced on them by other Indians.

If you don’t acknowledge that the oligarchy exists to exploit, you will never address the injustices inside a homogenous culture. If you don’t acknowledge that class alone is plenty of reason to dehuminize, you are not engaging with reality.

That all exists on the race and gender side too. We’re all in this together.
