      The oppressive side is already a group

      Everyone else automatically becomes the out-group

      You can ignore that if you like and get taken for a ride or you can be part of the group resisting it

      No one sane wants this situation, but you’re negligent if you don’t want to do shit to remediate it

        No. The only war is the class war. All this “pick a side” shit is to divide us up as a distraction.

          Yes. The only war is the class war.

          No, all this pick a side shit is not a distraction. You side with the bourgeoisie or you side with everyone else. The sides are pretty much the main thing.

          You absolutely can and should pick a side. Everyone else involved in the political machinery of the world already has.

            Apropos of nothing really, but I say it once or twice a year to give people something to ignore…

            If I cared enough to wear a label it would be socialist, but when the pitch is littered with words like bourgeoisie and proletariat and repeated references to Trostsky and Lenin and Marx, Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, et al, y’all are never going to get through to enough people to matter.

            Translate socialism into the language of people who aren’t yet true-believers, and you’ll get a lot more true believers.

          Lmao. There’s many concurrent fights.

          You pointing towards this “class war” is just as much a distraction.

            Oh boy, so many fights I can pick from!

            Or I can ignore your bullshit and focus on the one thing that matters.
