𓊉 @pepperz@tech.lgbtThey are going to fuck up #socialsecurity by rewriting the software to make it less functional. To then try to pull the wool over the #workingclass as a means to place social security on the bargaining table.
Remember this is the last Bastion for anyone making under $300k a year to get a lick of their labor given to the #federalgovernment
If it comes to the bargaining table they will push to disband it, and what will happen to all those trillions of dollars? It won't be in your wallet, or any of your loved ones, or even neighbors.
That money will be used to make the #onepercent richer.
We have to stop letting our distractions that categories whether it be race, religion, gender, sexuality, and even political affiliation.
Together we are strong and the #oligarchs need us more that we need them. The real fight is the #classwar

I agree overall, but:

Oppression is a weed that comes in many flavors. Class is but one. If we only tug on class, the garden is still riddled with weeds and will struggle to bear fruit. We've gotta tug on all of them, in unison, to be effective.
𓊉 @pepperzRight I agree that a lot of our issues are intersectional, and we must work making our society as equitable as possible.
The part that I disagree on is doing everything at once. I don't think we will be able to fully make everyone not racist, homophobic, or other 'ist/phobias,' At least in our life time anyway. We can reform our society by mitigating measures against bigoted views in the future with proper education, and policies. But there will always be people with biases, even to the subconscious level.
I believe that we have to put out the large fire to properly attend to the other ones. In your analogy, if our garden has a lot of weeds, and pests. We probably should contain the biggest issue at hand so we can attended to the other issues.
If we all collectively see ourselves as #workingclass and fight the same fight. I think being around a diverse group can be the start to help others out of their biases, and maybe help their comrades in their struggle too. But we must fight #fascism
There's a problem with your proposal. We all won't be able to see ourselves as a collective working class if things like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc, continue to persist. Those non-class social problems directly impede on the unification of the working class, which, in turn, makes them class problems as well. A worker won't unite with someone who they think is inferior because of their race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.

Right, I am being short sided. Do I really want to be next to a white supremacist, will they be there to protect me and people like me? Well they turn after the revolution?
Yeah minorities might not fell comfortable, and the later might not be very supportive.

If all the energy of Trump protests the tesla protests and free palistine protests. As well as all the human rights protests and climate rights protests it could be all focused on dismantling the system that causes all those problems. Imperialism capitalism itself. The system itself and those who benefit from it are our true enemies. Once they are no longer in our way. Only then can we the majority come up with solutions and implement them.
