@AndreDeLaGlinka @AliceWasWearing the experience of violence & especially, devaluation, at a young age has permanent effects. It’s even more complex in the US where unlike the UK everyone is supposed to pretend as if class & class advantage doesn’t exist, so referring to its manifestations is impolite

@AndreDeLaGlinka @AliceWasWearing this is a common feeling (not sure how this got on my timeline), I have a lot too. Yes I have all the trappings & most of the resources of a middle class – even upper MC – person but you don’t feel it & people can tell & don’t treat you as if you belong

@Gegsull @Nick_Boro1 @RichardBurgon he’s paid to be one. I gave up instantly when I saw he was a media professional – he doesn’t believe a word he says, he’s just a paid state propagandist. It would be an insult to sex-workers to call him a whore.

@Nick_Boro1 @RichardBurgon oh I see you’re a MSM guy. It doesn’t matter in the slightest what voters say, you’ll “hear” exactly what you want them to think and then scream at the top of your lungs that they think that. Total waste of time to talk to.

@Nick_Boro1 @RichardBurgon all polls show that the most significant draw for those who switched to the Tories aside from Brexit was Johnson’s pledge to give lots of I(taxpayer) money to the (commie) NHS

@Nick_Boro1 @RichardBurgon actually it was exactly as commie, there was virtually no difference – the main difference was that the Conservatives figured out that if they said they were going to do the same thing too, they could get the votes on Brexit

@Nick_Boro1 @RichardBurgon actually 1. those policies were in place in 2017 when working class towns voted Labour, 2. what changed was Labour’s Brexit position, none of the working class voters who abandoned Labour said it was because of those policies.

@hantsarchitect @thepileus @RichardBurgon let’s have a leader who doesn’t tell people whatever they want to hear to gain power, then once he has power, say “ha ha I never really meant any of that” and immediately do the opposite

@pinko_snob @sincerelyzoomer @robrousseau yes, a lot of it is like saying capitalism “caused” the 8-hour day, when really people used to work 6, capitalists tried to make them work 10-12, & after years of bitter struggle the labour movement got it back down to 8 again
