There's not going to be any "revolution." I have a master's degree in sociology. I could explain why, but it would be boring.

And I suppose you live in a yurt off-grid, and don't own a mobile device?

Thought so, hypocrite. Fuck Trump.

And they're all voting Republican next year, to own the libs.

Boomers: "Why can't I get my medicine no more? DAMN DEMOCRAT PARTY!"

It's called false consciousness. The workers are socialized through media, religion, and other social institutions, to identify with and support the ruling class. You see this in the way they adore Elmo Skum. I've known IT workers who bragged about the fancy car they basically bought for their manager.

Yes, it's a Marxist perspective. But Marx wasn't wrong.

Of course, this is going to affect the working class first and worst. But stay with me here.

My wife and I are what you'd call upper middle class. Thanks to our college education, union jobs in public agencies, and mostly being smart with money, our assets are not meager.

Are you like me? Don't think you're exempt. They're coming for our assets too. They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck, begging our employers to not fire us.

What I'm saying is, the class struggle is everyone's struggle. If you're not a billionaire, you're at risk. Act like it.

Google "false consciousness." Your answers begin there.

Hint: It's the same principle that has American workers competing with each other to work the most unpaid overtime, to send the boss on a nice trip to Tahiti.
