minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 days agoNo, it’s because the human mind wants a hierarchy just like the mind of literally every social animal. That’s why almost every civilization has had to deal with racism, religious persecution, or some other form of caste system. We fight that by erasing the lines, not reducing and insulting the people on the other side of the line the oligarchs drew. That’s literally what they wanted when they drew the line, and why they drew it about something they didn’t care about. Their happy to let us fight, because they don’t care who wins. If we’re gonna win, we need to draw our own singular line where we know we have the numbers to win: fighting wealth inequality. And that has to be done with zero means testing. If something is a human right, we all get it and not even Bill Gates should have to pay for it.

Prior to that, it was typically stuff like “the Germankc tribes must be erradicated” or the classic poor vs rich dynamic we’re circling back to now
