So you simultaneously see this as deflating revolutionary spirit and also don’t care about revolutionary spirit because you see the American working class as a lost cause? This is just edgelord bs.

    FUCK this noise.

    The "middle" class in the US, the folks still buying houses and cars, DoorDashing from Whole Foods and shit - allllll the folks "propping up the economy" by floating on generational money from "the good old days" - that's who needs to suffer and become radicalized, if anything is to change.

    The fucking poor here have done their bit, they have nothing left to offer and will continue to be mercilessly preyed upon by so many doing so much better. Let them eat some cheap food. Fuck your idea of "revolution", you sound fucking gross.

    Whole lotta wrong assumptions about what I think here, don't appreciate that and won't spend my time correcting them.

    I'm largely in agreement with plenty of this, but regardless, NYC poor ain't delivering revolution. More generally, poor in the US aren't either, while so much of the country just keeps it moving like nothing is all that wrong.

    The middle class has to suffer, for change. The poor have done their bit. I'm not asking you to be excited, I'm asking you to stop talking about living human beings - the ones already suffering the worst - as pawns to use. It's wrong, and gross, no matter the goals.
