👁️👄👁️!!!?? I watched this and not you telling yesterday and warning us about class warefare at telling it will be biggest and so messy ??? this seemed very much a class warefare to me (please watch what do u say) but MY JAW DROPPED ngll
Oh man. There’s so much to unpack. I guess today is my day of hot takes. We need to stop ignoring the white male plight. I already hear people being defensive because they are the privileged class, but let’s get deep. Why do you think most mass murderers in America are white men? What is happening to them? In the old world, white men held privilege in a mostly blue collar workforce & more dominantly attended college. I started really thinking about this because I had a well off white male friend in college who was just absolutely failing & couldn’t get his shit together. Why? He has all the privilege. He didn’t have to work & support himself fully like I did. Their plight is they no longer know their place & they are completely demotivated. Women, especially black women, are more educated than them, the backbone of their job opportunities are being lost to automation, they are also experiencing the horrors of capitalism. That’s why white men say shit like I’m not privileged I had to work my ass off. That’s why white men are the ones who most commit suicide. In a world that still demands men to be the providers, many are finding they cant provide & feel utterly emasculated. This is why you see mass shootings and the incel movement coming into being. These are emasculated men asserting a traditionally masculine quality—aggression— as a way to create some significance, to be remembered, to have done something. The thing is even white men are negatively impacted by the capitalist patriarchal society that gives them power. We need to stop acting like they arent negatively impacted & they need to realize their privilege. Even deeper. This fighting between poor people is what keeps the rich people rich. They feed us little arguments to keep us distracted, here have some celebrity drama (remember hunger games & how the winners were being used to distract from the truth, well, it’s no surprise the big media players are also part of the ruling class, celebrities are still part of the underclass, another hot take I can address if you want), here’s some feminazi & incel stuff to rile you up, poor white people be mad at poor black people, republicans hate democrats. We get attached to our identities & identify with our opinions so personally they become who we are, as we get so caught up in fighting for our 67% of the pie amongst each other instead of working together to take back 33% of the pie. How does the 1% own 33% of our resources, hmm? What math is that? You wanna know the root cause of crime? Socioeconomic status. Why? Because disadvantaged people are fighting other disadvantaged people for the small amount of resources they feel are available (think about gang violence & turf warfare). Add to that an ineffective government with a broken economy & I don’t see how we end up with anything but civil unrest. We, the younger people, are the masses & a lot of us are fed up with this broken system. There’s nothing to lose when you don’t have a house or retirement. People with nothing to lose, like mass murderers, become radicalized. Why? Because what else can they do! Now none of what I’m saying is meant to trivialize or undermine the very real issues of systemic racism & the very real issues the LGBTQIA+ community face. I’m not trying to trivialize those identities but I’m arguing one identity we all share is we are working class. We are not the owners in this basically feudal system, we are treated disposably & continue to see people who do nothing make millions while school teachers & nurses get jack shit. What if people were paid by how crucial they are to society? Interesting how the pandemic had all the essential workers, who barely make any money, working while rich people moved to Hawai’i or other places to work from home (I know not all people who work from home are rich). Are you seeing the picture I’m painting? Are you seeing the strikes and push to unionize?
