Someone who does not appreciate another who steals from exploitative global corporations, is not someone worth knowing.
They’re chicken nuggets, he’s not Robin Hood.
Unless he gives those nugs to the poor.

We are the poor.

Yes, there are poorer people out there, but I think we all kinda forget how big the divide is. It lets us put ourselves in a place where we feel like we’re doing well comparatively, but I think it’s important that we remember that we’re all being taken advantage of and we all deserve better. Yeah, definitely some will need a bit more uplifting than others, but it’s Us vs. Them, and I think we spend too much time trying to further sub-divide that ‘Us’. Thank you for attending my crazy segue.

We’re all poor enough to deserve those free nugs though.

Yes we are the poor. If you need a job to survive you are the working class. The middle class is a concept to avoid people eating the rich. This also counts if your salary is a million, if you need to continue to work to make your life work, you are the working class.
Also originally the middle class is wealthy people who have no title. Like landed gentry and the bourgeoisie. And the upper class is aristocracy and nobility.

There are only two classes:

  • The Owner class who lives of the income from merelly owning things.
  • The Worker class who has to work for a living.
