oh fuck they stole our tagline too?
i was investigating 'innovative, truly social' media group https://reported.ly/ (both to get some ideas on how they work that can be copied and understand where they fit... very progressive alqaida boosters, you know the kind); and found this interesting video they 'produced' on this gay google earth
Just noticed this one and remembered this thread.
Sorry not sorry that I don't have sympathy for the photogenic bohemian 'chaiwalas'

I'll subsidize your weed habit if you write more cool posts like that
like, the idealized neoliberal order is that you have a small minority of superrich who are bourgeoisie throughout their lives because, of course, they deserve it, but all other class demarcation is done in terms of life segments instead of population groups: prole for most of your life, bourgeoisie for the last part--a new answer to the perennial question of American liberalism "how do we prevent the proletariat from gaining class consciousness and uniting," traditionally answered by white supremacy

thirdplace posted:one of the effort posts i'd love to write but definitely never will is about how much of middle class retirement/estate planning is, at least in its idealized form, less about saving up money that you will then spend than it is about accumulating capital to the point where you can spend your golden years living off its rents (and obviously home ownership is a linchpin of that)

There's this whole movement of labor aristocrats into 'financial independence' I.e. achieving class ascension as quickly as possible. The idea is you work super hard, save and invest so you can do exactly that, live of rents during your later years. It's funny how they frame it in this 'we've figured out the game' type way. They sneer at the suckers who don't have the gumption to 'build equity'. It's an extremely bizarre form of class consciousness where they recognize that the key to freedom lies in escaping the proletariat, but achieving it as an individual family unit is the dream.
