They call it the K-shaped economy. There's an upper portion of the working class whose lives only get better (high wages, private property, investments) and a lower portion whose lives only get worse. It's hard to believe that someone who is going to work a low wage job until they die so they can give most of their paycheck to a landlord is bourgeoisified by imperial superprofits. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] Pissed@lemmy.ml -5 points 5 months ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago* (1 child) What left? The Democrats? lol The US working class, on the other hand? I don't have a breakdown by income, but 60% of U.S. adults have an unfavorable view of Israel these days. I suspect if you mapped that onto the 80/20 split in incomes you'd see a strong correlation. The US working class is being debourgeoisified by the war, incomes will be eaten by inflation and people will blame Israel for it. That's not exactly correct, the US and Israel are part of the same Zionist entity, but blaming Israel is a good first step.
