    It will continue to exist because it’s useful for the ruling class.

    Terms like “unskilled labor” help the media do their job, which is helping capital convince the masses that the “unskilled laborers” are speaking above their station when asking for a livible wage.

    It’s “burger flippers” for people who want to call themselves more politically literate. Language currently used to minimize and undermine.

    It will definitely continue to exist, but acting like there aren’t connotations here or that they aren’t directly related to the “real problem of low wages” is wack



  • And no one ignores the plight of rural folk as much as Republicans. Indeed they want to make it worse to gin up more discomfort. I’m from deep rural Alabama. To say my family votes against their own interests is a given, for the two choices, but they vote for the most extreme antithesis to their best interest every time because frankly, they’re committed to the “invisible war against “”“other””“”.

    I agree they should escape, but I also am not going to extend them some bullshit about how they’re “forgotten” or “ignored”. They know exactly what they’re doing. They are making their choices.
