Yep

To identify with the success of the rich, and subsequently using it as a decision-rule for one’s own politics (as well as the broader economy and one’s own personal economic circumstances) is the worst type of false consciousness...

The United States is drunk on absurdist political theater and the politics of disorientation. A society in crisis, where people are unmoored and confused, often turns inward on itself. Unfortunately, in that moment the poor, working classes and struggling middle classes often look at their peers as constituting “the enemy.”

Preach it, brother...
