I believe that is the entire point of the meme that Lemmy lefties missed

Let’s ignore that low income people are more likely to vote for Democrats, or the underlying classism inherent in using the size and value of someone’s home when it comes to determining if their arguments are worth listening to. Somewhere there’s a guy like that, so let’s just make him the symbol of all of them!

Minus the political signs, this looked pretty similar to my childhood home. Regardless of what OP intended, how do you think it feels for people who actually did grow up in an old trailer to see stuff like this?

I think the meme is classist because it directs anger toward the people living in the pictured low-income housing. People who have the least control over the forces shaping their lives. Meanwhile, the billionaire class, who paid a hefty and blood-soaked price to keep them uneducated and inundated with right-wing propaganda, escape scrutiny.

Don't get me wrong, the people in that picture probably suck. They're more of a symptom tho.

That's how I read it, too.

That's absolutely the point

That's what I was saying, exactly. I was not trying to be classist, though I can absolutely see how that person jumped directly to that conclusion.

So Democrats too right? Considering they're generally laser focused on the urban professional class and maintaining existing market dynamics with a big push on things like student loan forgiveness that would give zero assistance to workers while largely hanging them out to dry whenever labor disputes pop up. There's not a party that represents these folks interests so they default to identity politics. Byzantine chariot race politics at least had patronage that meant supporters were getting some sort of gain.

Fry strikes again
