"I’ve noticed a fascinating magical inversion projection-disavowal mechanism whereby the sheer mention of class is now automatically treated as if that means one is trying to downgrade the importance of race and gender"

@catileptic "Fight amongst yourselves" is going to be the dominant theme, isn't it?

@jbaggs it's going to be what we are validated into doing, seduced into doing
