    She’s not a class traitor because she’s black or because she’s a woman, she’s a class traitor because she works for a living and is cooperating in suppressing news about the problems caused by the Owner Class.

      They’re aren’t implying that it’s because of those things. They are saying as an individual who has undoubtedly been subject to those systemic abuses is makes it all the more stomach turning that they’d be a cog in perpetuating it.

        Bullshit!

        Plenty of black women are part of the Owner Class, plenty of white men are part of the Working Class - what’s almost perfectly correlated with being subject the systemic abuses of class is “Wealth”. Race (even in the US, which is extra fucked up) is only somewhat positivelly correlated and gender is barelly so (the difference in average incomes between rich and poor is literally thousands of times greater than the difference in average incomes between men and women).

        There is no reason to pull out “identitarian markers” when talking about class inequality unless one has been indoctrinated in a Neoliberal “divide and conquer” fake-Leftist political ideology designed to divide the fight for Equality For All into a hierarchy of “differently deserving of having Equality” based on things people wore born with rather than need, a view of others and how deserving they are that mirrors the way the Far-Right sees the world.

        Not being filthy rich and having to slog in the mud like the rest of us to just keep one’s head above the surface is infinitelly more correlated to not being in the Owner Class than one’s count of X chromossomes in pair 23 or one’s gene for melanine production.

        It really pisses me off how people from some political cultures with a very right-shifted Overtoon Windows, even whilst they have the best of intentions, have been brainwashed into classifying their fellow human beings and having expectations on them (i.e. Prejudices) using the very same architecture of thinking as the Far-Right, to the point that even when they talk about “class inequality” their mind sees “identitarian markers” (just like the Fascists) rather than “Working Class” which is from where the actual expression “class inequality” originates from.
