i want to highlight 'small to medium size regional firms' because we focus so much on big business & multinational corporations that we overlook how small businesses, regional cartels and local dynasties are actually more fascistic ideologically & structurally & the main funders of the radical right

@bcham this is truth. I had a local elite (with an estate and live in housekeeper) sincerely explain that $25,000 a year was a good annual salary (in 2018) “around here”. 🙄yeah, in 1960 maybe….sometimes old is the perspective problem. Sometimes it’s just classism.

@bcham I have this notion that the election of Trump in 2016 and the 2020 COVID lockdowns both represented mass radicalizing events for the petit bourgeois/local gentry class. These people don't have megadonor bucks to sway party establishments necessarily, but they are able to devote time and resources to QAnon and trucker convoy-type movements.
