Affluent white liberals think the “working class” consists solely of white guys with Confederate flag trucks

The Klan was the lower-class organization. You’re thinking of the Citizen’s Councils, which were made up of exactly the people you mentioned.

Affluent sections of minorities are incentivised to side with the ruling class simply due to their class interests. Obama being PoC didn’t make him left.

These kinds of takes are basically why stupidpol exists to begin with. They just overreacted and went too far in the opposite direction

What catches my eye about this is the wording of “actual working class people.” As opposed to what? The idealized strawman you’ve built up in your head after a lifetime of never interacting with anyone who makes less than 60k?

“Actual working class” is a big indicator that the person views class in aesthetic terms, not relation to capital terms.

worse, America is simply bigoted as fuck. Even the liberals, even the petite bougie liberals. Also, especially the proper bougie. It is just turtles all the way down and the turtles are nervous that their daughter might talk to a person of color.
