its annoying when i hear people whine about how the filthy uneducated proles vote republican and dont agree with egalitarian principles or socialism or whatever, because in my experience, very, very loving few workers dont agree with statements like 'the police are far too heavy handed, and have too much power, while not doing enough to help people' and 'your boss makes too much money' and 'your landlord doesn't do anything for you but drain your checking account'


what im saying is, these freaking so-called socialists need to start hanging outside of bars chain smoking and accomplish some real rear end organizing
hm yeah let me hang out with drunken white truckers and preach to them about socialism and definitely not get my head kicked in

Those drunken white hillbillies you don't like (and are the ones I talk to, because I live among them) are historically the most revolutionary segment of society lol. They got overtaken by the Black Panthers etc in the 60s though because the FDR/Johnson programs largely made life better for farmers and miners and stuff.
none of this precludes them from being sincerely racist people which makes talking politics with them outside bars as a brown person inadvisable. maybe they had revolutionary potential fifty years ago but theres no point in fantasizing that thats still the case

that block of text was a literal trap for the lanyards in this thread who think talking to people at a bar will get them punched because the proles are all unthinking animals awaiting enlightenment and also they must use words like intersectionality or time value of money or whatever dork poo poo they feel is necessary

see how i say the same thing way easier using vernacular in the post before that one?
i'm not a think tank autist, im a brown person who doesnt want to talk to drunken chuds about revolution
