If this doesn't wake everyone the fuck up from identity politics idk what will
Where were you when anticapitalism was declared antisemitic?
Real question, do they think they're making us angry doing this?
I'm just amused at how very clearly angry they are to do it.
I swear John Harris used to be good. And now he comes out with this outrageous propaganda.
I would cream my pants if I saw an article like that.
lol
tbf there's like a kernel of academic truth to what they say
the problem isn't "the elites" vs "the people" which is often the right-populist approach, it's the bourgeoisie vs the proletariat, and those things are not the same thing.
a "culturally" working class salt-of-the-earth business owner is a class enemy and a culturally refined opera-enjoying novel-writing "middle class" teacher is a class ally, even though the latter is more likely than the former to be considered part of a social elite and resented as such when they tell people what to do.
of course the journalists are fucking idiots who haven't read the academic stuff so it's more downstream of that truth than if someone was mulching up academic papers and throwing them into the Ganges, but still. it's useful awareness to have to recognise when right-populist discourse is channelling class based frustrations towards the wrong targets.
exception: regardless of wage-labourer status lazy journalists are class enemies, i don't need to read marx to say this, it's just a fact. they annoy me. it's a fact.
Going to be amusing to see antisemitism go flying through the roof if these cunts cost Labour an election.
Journalists are class traitors, the ones that push the narrative they are told, anyway.
This. 100%
