Of course, this is going to affect the working class first and worst. But stay with me here.
My wife and I are what you’d call upper middle class. Thanks to our college education, union jobs in public agencies, and mostly being smart with money, our assets are not meager.
Are you like me? Don’t think you’re exempt. They’re coming for our assets too. They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck, begging our employers to not fire us.
What I’m saying is, the class struggle is everyone’s struggle. If you’re not a billionaire, you’re at risk. Act like it.
Right, we need to be careful about defining class struggle globally when we’re in the 99% locally but most of us may be in the 1% globally
This is one of the many reason we need to help our fellow humans, it’s our duty to increase support through agencies like USAid, global public health initiatives, global emergency response, global food aid, global development, education, outreach. We’ve never done enough to support our fellow humans, and now that’s the first place they’re cutting. Do we credit them with the intelligence to call it an intentional part of the strategy to divide us from our fellow exploited class?
Great comment. I think they can be equally intelligent in recognizing the consequences of their actions while also being so short-sighted and obsessed with control and immediate financial and political gain that they don’t recognize how much harm theyre causing for all parties.

The #1 issue for all of us is Us versus Them. That’s it. There’s 1000 of them and 350 million of us.
It is, but the narrative they want it “us vs immigrants”. Think of how long they’ve been rage baiting people with this, it’s nuts.
Keep focus, it’s the 1%.
There are about 8 billion of us
Don’t tell the American that there is a world out there. It might kill them.
If they could read, they would be very upset.
But what will you do when the rest of the world’s working poor turns around and suddenly you’re “them”

Exactly. I don’t think I am poor but in there eyes, I am dirt poor. Anyone can’t afford a seat at their table are at peril.
