No hate for the middle class. I can't help but enjoy the irony of people who thought they had solidarity with capital talking like Ned Ludd all of a sudden.
You should go outside some time

People have been losing their jobs in all sectors a lot longer than you think, OP. First time?
That's the entire purpose of the Workers asking "first time?" It's known that it has been happening, lmao
It’s clearly your’s and OP’s first time in noticing literally everyone around you going through the same thing. the world doesn’t revolve around you.
Creatives now need subscription based software to do their jobs so they no longer own the means of production
normally bitching about verbiage is straight out of the cia manual for disrupting leftist orgs but holy shit OP I assure you the guy who does the drawings on birthday cards is not an appropriate target for your ire.
Meta: what movie is this template from? I swear I've seen it too.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
Ohh so an office job is "bourgeois" now?! give me a break...
At best some of the most privileged are petite bourgeois near the end of their careers.
I hate this in fighting, we are all working class. We all starve if we stop working. Yes, some have much more than others, yes it is unfair, however our interests are still broadly aligned.
People who earn less than I do are poor. People who earn more than I do are bourgeois.
Creatives have been shit on economically for a long time. Chokepoint Capitalism goes into detail on how artists, writers, and performers have had a hard time getting paid since day one. That's a large reason why the actors and writers guilds exist. You can always find someone who wants to do creative work. If you don't have a union ensuring gigs are paid well it's a race to the bottom.
