Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes
Hadriscus@jlai.lu 1 month agoI like to think that we’re all working class, and that to subdivide classes further benefits only the capital
please be nice to the rich ‘working class’ They’re ‘just like you’!
They don’t live week by week, they have thousands to tens of thousands of dollars of disposable income per month.
No, I’m not going to treat them the same as my fellow lower classes.
That’s a mistake. If you treat them as your equal then you can make then see they aren’t special or “middle class” and then you have another pair of hands to help the working class.
That’s well natured but naive.
Richer ‘working class’ already do shit on the poorer classes, they already punch down with ferocity.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m talking about not treating then as special but just as anyone else and reply as you would with anyone else, not as if they are superior.

Yes in reality, like 90% of people are working class, but I just wanted to make that designation for anyone reading it and going “software engineers aren’t working class”. I mean it in the more general working class vs capital owners.

Anyone who cannot stop working and live off their own wealth (and not rely on the working income of others) for the rest of their lives is, by definition, working class.

I agree, but I think there are enough people who conflate working class with blue collar that making the distinction is justified.
