So you think the working class should be satisfied with poverty while a miniscule segment of the population controls most of the national wealth? Is that why you're trying to change the subject with ad hominem bulletin? You can try all you like to convince me that I hate the working classroom, but you're the one arguing against our interests.

"Our" interests? Your speech patterns are significantly above working class ones. You don't use all caps, all your words are spelled correctly and you use structure in paragraphs. You are no working class.

Maybe you're some kind of leftover fossil that's been in a coma since the 1950s. Could be, there are all sorts of wacky leftists out there who believe the unbelievable. The rest of the left is unified in the belief that the working class had their chance, rejected socialism, and now needs to be harshly punished. It's the mainstream belief, that's why they scratched "class" off of Marxism, wrote "race" in crayon, and repackaged the whole thing as identity politics. Somehow you didn't get the memo. Try it: do the same shit you're doing now, but trash the working class in favor of minorities. You'll find you fit in a lot better and get invited to more parties.

It's obvious why you're so desperate to change the subject

You neither addressed nor refuted anything I had to say. You just made a personal attack. I used to get annoyed at this, but now I know it's because the other party has no answer.

That's rich lol, we both know it's exactly the other way around. You're perfectly aware that the wealthy are taking advantage of the working class but you don't want me to be right, so you try to change the subject by calling me a socialist and insisting that I must hate the working class and whatever you can do to try and distract from the point.

You're arguing in bad faith. We all know that the left utterly despises the working class for failing to support them. That's why they switched to identity politics in the first place.

the wealthy are taking advantage of the working class

Who cares! The working class voted for Trump! Let them suffer! Don't tell me you're not familiar with this attitude, because you are.

I don't care about your strawman, what does this have to do with the point?
