Some of y'all be like 'eat the rich' then turn around and be classist when you don't like someone.

Same way y'all hate bodyshaming and fatphobia until you personally need to insult someone.

Same way y'all hate ageism then running to someone's bio to check their age.

Same way y'all hate aphobia but uh-oh someone is a little bit irritating then they need to get laid. Suddenly being a sexless virgin is bad. They've got no bitches and that's bad.

Love to talk about the benefits and beauties of online communities and how important they are until someone annoys you then it's go touch grass

Love to talk about mental health until you got beef now they're a 'narcissist' and 'delusional' and they need to 'get help' and don't get me STARTED on how people love using the word bipolar

Cant believe in saying this but y'all need to learn how to insult people better

cause mfer WE CAN HEAR YOU. You're not serving what you think you're serving

Always want to talk about how someone 'probably looks like' or what they 'should be doing' or whether they're 'unstable' or not.

Quit being ridiculous. Quit being a hypocrite and calling it cunty. Knock it off!! Learn how to read someone correctly or go home!!!

thomas asstruc gives off classism vibes (and much more other bad vibes)

Not only cos of the whole every poor fam got great life/fam while rich kids don't in the show

But like how he will not take criticism from anyone and noone can write better cos they just wouldn't get doing work with "all these editorial constraints" and he's a professional (his words basically)

And honestly bad writing one thing, it another to enforce in your writing shitty things and act shitty to even the slightest criticism no matter how respectful and polite

So yeah I'd honestly suggest not watching, let ratings go down, i could really care less how it can get any worse (or better meaning they wasted like half the seasons)

The show had enough seasons many shows would kill for and crew are killing it but in the bad way

The hospital/doctor system in my area has switched to no cash accepted at their locations. It's in their voicemails, website, flyers in the offices and hospitals. This makes healthcare EVEN MORE INACCESSIBLE! So many people don't have a bank account, and only have cash. This just makes me so frustrated at the system. I'm lucky, I have insurance and can pay my deductable with a card. But with the housing crisis becoming more of an issue, this seems so elitist.

Grabbing strangers by the scruff and shaking them.

Yes it's your right to drop $400 on a $10 checkmark or shoes or earrings while people are fucking starving and at threat of being homeless. Yes $400 is literally like half of my rent and you're just spending it on a static 10 pixel checkmark... that's you're right

But I think I should get to fucking kill you. That should be MY right.

Like mask off? I'm done playing with these privileged rich folk while the rest of us beg on Facebook and GoFundMe and Tumblr and Reddit. And I'm tired of them hiding behind everyone saying "yes but the upper-middle class isn't our enemy"

The fuck it's not.

When Jacob and Leighanne scroll past my donation posts but then drop half my rent on a shitty digital check design... And then don't show up to protests or even sign up for a shift at the community kitchen... They haven't made themselves my enemy? For real???

I'm just supposed to Not take it personally that people who noticed I exist and saw me struggling chose to give money to a multi-millionaire instead?

And the thing is that it's not just me is it? I'm not the only person this happens to.

Poverty is systemic. Which means it's an issue being ignored systemically, too. These behaviors are not unrelated to each other.

"they're not your enemy"

Pass, go try gaslighting someone else. If they want some solidarity from me then it's time to quite literally put their money where their mouth is. The same way trust is a give a take.

And some of y'all, specifically the people who don't donate but sit there arguing in their favor like "well it's their money..." are genuinely starting to echo pro-lifers saying "yeah I believe all human life has value... But that responsibility should be someone else's problem, not mine."

Like sure they have a right to make trivial purchases but I think you should be defending my right to exist and not be homeless before you try making a stand in the name of frivolous spending.

Make sure we have UBI then tell people they can spend money how they want.

"they aren't your enemy"

Objectively not true, they aren't helping ME out, just the status quo. Which is actually precisely the thing harming me :)

"people deserve nice things"

Yeah, but I think their baseline needs should be taken care of first. Like the actual human needs they have should be priority before say a $250 bong is your priority, right?

And like be fucking for REAL, these people have nice things. They don't need you trying to justify anything for them I promise. They already feel entitled to leave us for dead in the name of some dumbass checkmark, I promise they don't need you reinforcing their lack of a human conscious as "well deserved"

They have the same rights as the rest of us and while so many of us struggle so hard for scraps I find it hard to be chill that so many of you wanna cape for Jacob and Leighanne's 35th checkmark instead.

Everyone gets a slice before Anyone should get two.

Eat my shit.

old money x classical academia

here’s a thing.

i don’t like wfa a lot. 

but you’re all being extremely weird about mental health right now. calling a depiction of a struggle with a mental disorder ‘fanficky’? because what, it treats it seriously, rather than what dc has been doing so far in terms of jason’s trauma, which is making it into unfunny mcu-style cringe jokes?

“i don’t have an issue with jason having ptsd, we’ve seen how he deals with it and crying is not it” do you understand what ptsd is? 

there are things that can render anyone helpless no matter how well trained the person is. it’s not possible to always be in control. 

and anyway, where did this new paradigm that jason is cold and impassive come from? even if you’ve read just ‘utrh’ it’s obviously not true? and if you’ve read only ‘utrh’, i’m begging you to read original (80s) robin jason runs, because dear god, jason comes from somewhere. he did not spawn as your merciless anti-hero randomly, even if w*nick made it look so by putting no effort in actually honouring his original characterisation. 

i don’t enjoy fanon on most days. but looking at fanon and claiming the polar opposite does not mean you have good literacy skills. 

I fucking hate other Batman fans. Someone will be like "Batman should redistribute his wealth" and they'll respond "he does give to charity, read comics!"

Bitch, they do understand comics, you don't understand economics and politics! You can take your strawman argument and ad homenim and shove them up your ass!

Chopsticks Question

Luke: [age 18] "I've come up with a test for people I might be interested in dating: I ask them if they know how to use chopsticks." Me: "Uhh... how is that a test?" Mom: "That seems kind of classist. Or maybe racist, depending on how you interpret it." Luke: "No, no, hear me out. If they know how to use chopsticks, then that means they have had a wider range of experience than a lot of Americans. That's good. If they don't know how to use chopsticks, then I ask if they would ever want to learn. And that's kind of the real question. If they have an open mind to new experiences, they'll probably say yes. If not, they'll probably say no. And I'm more interested in the people who either have a wider experience or are interested in trying new things." Mom: "I would have failed that test when I was your age. I didn't even have Asian food until I was 16 and we got Chinese takeout for the first time. My whole family thought it was weird and suspicious." Me: "I only remember one Chinese restaurant when I was growing up and it was unusual for our white middle-class Midwestern family to go there. Your mom and I didn't learn to use chopsticks until you kids wanted to learn, and then we all learned. That was only in the last ten years.) Luke: "Did you want to learn before that?" Mom: "Well, after I stopped thinking it was weird, I thought it was interesting, and then I just never had the opportunity or took the time." Luke: "So, you would pass the test." Me: "I get the goal of your questions, but I think Mom is right that it might be biased. Your childhood has been blessed with more diverse life experiences than a lot of people. It has certainly been a lot more diverse than mine or your mom's childhood, and that was pretty intentional on our part. But it's still a privilege. You can't measure other people's lives by your opportunities that they never had. And this question definitely won't work for people who grew up using chopsticks." Mom: "I mean... you wouldn't ask Koreans if they knew how to use forks, right?" Luke: "Of course not. I'd have to come up with some other questions that could show how they feel about trying new things." Me: "And this couldn't be your first question. You'd have to get to know people a bit first." Luke: (faux earnestness) "Hi! I'm Luke. You seem nice. Can you use chopsticks? Hey, don't walk away." Me: "Probably just like that." Mom: "I see what you're getting at, and I agree it's a creative way to try to figure out people's perspectives. But you can't just have this be a yes/no answer. All kinds of smart and interesting people have different perspectives on things, and chopsticks might not be a reliable indicator of anything. It could still be, or not, but... I don't think there are many single questions that can tell you everything you need to know about a person." Me: "You should probably only ask this if you're going out for food that you would normally eat with chopsticks. It's always easier to learn about people over food." Luke: "Actually, asking people out for sushi is a similar question for people who have never had sushi." Mom: "Just be careful and have an open mind, just like you're hoping to find in other people." Me: "Or, if you're eating sushi, an open mouth." Luke: "Now I want sushi for dinner."

Acting like right wing people are the only people who are bigots is actually very harmful to minorities and marginalised groups. Acting like the right wing are the only people who are racist and sexist and homophobic and transphobic and antisemitic and ableist and classist etc. Gives the right far too much power and the left far too much leeway.

The most transphobic people i (as a trans person) have ever met have been left wing. They've been people who have shared my views, people I've agreed with in pretty much every other way. I've met so many antisemitic leftists, even other communists/anarchists like me not just liberals. Also so many left wing people will see someone being a bigot then be sexist or racist to them because they think someone is somehow deserving of it because they are a bigot. Quite a lot of terfs are left wing.

Bigotry feels more sinister when its from someone you otherwise agree with so sweeping left wing bigotry under the rug and acting like left wing people aren't often also very bigoted is harming marginalised communities. I've frequently been told to brush off transphobia and antisemitism from left wing people.

Hot take: sapiosexual

You aren't attracted to intelligence, you're attracted to a certain kind of education that is a facet of a certain class. You're not sapiosexual. You're classist.

We all know that the Vampires vs Werewolves argument is bassed in classism, right? The media almost always depicts Vampires as some sort of royalty and then Werewolves are just shown as the hobos of the magical world.

Some people hate classism til they meet someone who was worse off than them.

They'll make you feel weird and isolated but expect it to be okay because they totally still relate, just differently.

Growing up poor doesn't mean you get to embarrass other poor people just because you never had to go through what they did. Or because they took a different route than you.

Absolutely expecting some rancid American takes here but uh now that over 20% of people (and over 30% of children) in the UK are counted as in poverty (not counting others barely staying afloat or facing general money insecurity) can we - especially Americans - finally fucking admit that British accent / food jokes are fucking classist as all fuck.

Yeah, yeah, we get it, beans on toast funny but you know what else it is? Cheap as fuck. It's a pre-seasoned protein in a sauce, dumped over some toasted bread. Its not the best meal, obviously, but it is so ridiculously cheap - under £1 usually. No big celeb or royal is fixing themselves a plate of beans and toast. You know who is? Working class mums, trying to put food on the table.

And every time, without fail, when you see Americans making fun of British accents online it's always the kind of accent common in Northern or typically "low class" areas and its like... Wow, yeah, you're right, this way of speaking sounds so silly, people who speak like that must be so unintelligent....

Yeah just stop spreading classist propaganda.
