@twipped @krans propably because those got private #security nearby that tends to actively discourage anyone from coming close.

And that assumes they don't live in some "Rich People Ghetto" aka. "#GatedCommunity" which almost always exist as #classist divisions.

For those still pushing #fairphone & #shiftphones as if they're reasonable options for everyone, you are #classist clowns at best. Spending $800 -$900 is nowhere near reasonable an amount of money to spend on a smartphone, when there are dozens of similar options in the big tech sphere for under $250 & if we switch our own OS, that likewise gives us dozens if not hundreds of similar options with #CalyxyOS & #PostmarketOS for that under $250 price point on a similar device.

As a #Displaced #Indigenous #Latina family we've never had the privilege of savings, nor family nor community

My father's financial abuse left us in worse poverty than what we endured while he had control of our lives - his last words to me were full of ablist and sexist BS

Many assume that the poor just don't know how to manage financial obligations

Fuck off with that #classist #ablist SHIT

I love seeing assholes propagate things like "don't get scammed pay the govt for them"

@Stegosaur yes and no.

Most #NIMBYs just want to #RentSeek and keep their #neighbourhood segregated, and #AffordableHousing removes #classist (and thus mostly #racist) #segregation!

And those that don't want #RentControl are the moneyed that have parked their wealth in #RealEstate and expect the #tennants to foot the bill for their "#investment"…

@CStamp yeah, it's called #fascism (mostly #christofascism) and #Neofeudalism.

The Idea being to weaponize #racism to manifest a #classist "#caste" system with no #SocialMobility upwards and masses of exploited #precariat being abused as disposable #WageWorkers because they can!

This privileged clown has never bought anything in a grocery store or at a petrol station. Defending #VoterID in this transparently false way underlines the fraud behind the concept. It is a #classist and #racist throwback to the #JimCrow era, meant to hurt minorities.

Laws against #busking are wrong. It's #classist. #PovertyIsNotACrime. Singing for spare change should not be a crime.

If your #revolution doesn't also include harm reduction to marginalized folks, your revolution is both #classist and #ablist

Just how much worse than Scott Morrison et al (the architects and supervisors of #Robodebt with its allegedly linked 2000 dead Australians) are these refugees?

Morrison has been given Australia's highest civilian award AIUI. Clearly the worst of the worst is OK with Albanese's gov as long as they're part of the Canberra in-group.

I'm looking at the ugly possibility that Albanese's government is deeply #Classist.

@joepie91 @theraspb precisely...

#Security, espechally for *"#TechIlliterate" #normies is not easy.

Cuz without solutions like @tails_live / @tails / #Tails & @torproject #TorBrowser it's neither practical nor feasible to get people secured at all unless we go #TechBro-#Classist and demand people to 'either learn #OpenBSD or never touch electronics in their life!'…

Oftentimes people don't have the means and one needs to find compromises...
