So you willingly abandon your working class solidarity and just become another small minded person spreading working class hate and division. You're part of the problem.
I too live in a small rural town. I'm deep in the heart of Southern Louisiana. I'm all too familiar with people flying their flags of ignorance and hate.
That doesn't give you an excuse to sink to their level of blind hatred because it is easier than seeing the person behind it and understanding that they are as much a victim of the system as anyone else.
What the fuck solidarity is there in siding with the very people trying to strip away the working class? They had the same access to information as anybody else and they chose to ignore the warnings and double down.
Form solidarity with the ones who aren't actively trying to ruin everything, because the zombies have made it very clear whose side they're on.
Where is their solidarity with the working class? It is nowhere to be seen. They hate solidarity. They piss on it. They deliberately voted against it. And now they cry crocodiles tears when they become victims of their own decision. And usually blame it on others instead of questioning their own choices.
Are you aware of the term scab in the union world? One doesn't forgive a scab.
This situation is no different.
You cannot have solidarity with people who will betray you. You are part of the problem. They are part of the problem. People not allowing themselves to be fooled are not.
I'll exhibit "working class solidarity" the second they stop selling out the working class.
