#MiddleClasses
This is also why they maintained middleclasses; to buffer them from the horribly oppressed groups.

The middleclasses did the work of squashing any revolt from the marginalized. Now we are seeing that they don't need those overseers anymore. Everyone can now be oppressed.
"At least that union-busting fuck Carnegie built a university and some nice libraries.”

EXACTLY. The rich worried about the public decades ago (either for our general welfare or because OMG Communist revolt) but they do NOT now and that’s a huge problem 😡

The UK doesn't need Irish ancestry due to the CTA. And after 5 years (3 with ancestry) you can apply for citizenship.

But it is almost punitively expensive to rent or buy even in remote parts. As in it's unviable for all but professionals or middleclasses. 😔

You beat your head against a brick wall trying to explain that to THEM. RAon is just as much as hero they worship as 45 is. Trickle down economics trust a death blow to the middleclasses. It was the beginning of the end.

The future being planned is like this, more or less. But it's not for you. It is for the rich.

The middleclasses were a buffer zone to protect the extremely wealthy from those in extreme poverty and oppression. The wealthy have decided they don't need that buffer anymore. Now everyone will feel it

Nixon/the US govt was (is) VERY much against anyone protesting any of their actions. And so was the white middleclasses. But whn the govt killed white kids--their kids they were like "hold tf up"

So Nixon started "the war on drugs" after Kent state to make it about drugs and not about protesters
IIR after Kent State most people in the country sided with the guardsmen.

Is it me or is #EATALY very over rated and is designed for the #middleclasses who wouldn't really like #Italy if they visited? #italianfood

To do that we must elect Democtats to the majority in BOTH Houses of the Congress in November. We can accomplish that putting forth policies that benefit the #Working & #MiddleClasses, like #HigherWages, #PrimaryHealthCare, #AffordableHousing, #SubsidizedChildCare, #LowerInterestRates by less #debt.

I had a terrible time at school due to that (not that I find neurodivergence useful framing, but that's a separate debate), and I would have done even worse in the environment of her school. As it was, despite having all the advantages of the middleclasses, everything nearly got ruined.

It is not that simple lol. Middleclasses do exist. Everyone who works isn't automatically working class.

It's like the 1700's all over again, a little bit. Mass colonization of empowered middleclasses. Mass death in the new world due to diseases from the old world hopping the oceans.

But this is just between me and you dear reader, don't tell anyone I said these things.

It's a start and it's not a bad thing. These arent refugees with zero options and no control or agency. Theyre the children of the wealthy and middleclasses back home, come to turn my home into a party resort town. They'll be fine. Literally everything theyre learning could be delivered on a laptop.

Do the wealthy and middleclasses understand that when they make it so poor people like me can't talk about it ever, and they swoop in and own the conversation every time, that isn't something happening in a vacuum and it has consequences? They get that right? It pisses people off an that comes back.

These are the rich and middleclasses, the children of farmers taking out insane loans.

Tuition for someone born in Toronto that is ~$3000, will be ~$17,000 for these people coming from overseas. Who has $17,000 and airfare to Canada? Rich and well off people. Say it with me. Rich. Pee Pul.

The speech of the democrats or the left in Europe has shifted from protecting the national lower and middleclasses to protecting inmigrants and the queers. Trump might be an evil man but the educated posh leftists don't understand the majority of the people. They are like the Church used to be, they

It may be that hard work, intelligence, passion and talent has helped to make you solvent and secure, but more than anything else, it was luck. #MiddleClasses

After Kent state the focus switched. The white middleclasses still supported the government but didn't want their kids targeted. The government stopped focusinig on white college protestors and swithced to non-whites.

It was easier to kill and lock people up for drugs than protesting against war
