      he’s a poser, not a class traitor. if he had been a true class traitor, he would have played things smart. he would have united himself in living with the lower classes without forgoing his significant resources, and he would have dedicated his family inheritance and privilege to righting wrongs.

        And yet here we are, talking about him and uniting as a single working class under a common struggle.

        Just because he didn’t perform the most effective/efficient way of betraying his class (which, could be argued; see above), does not mean he didn’t betray his class.

        He killed “one of his own”. He is a class traitor and hero in my eyes, even if he is not a perfect revolutionary figure.

          I guess I can see your perspective. There are just so many posers and rich-kid revolutionary wannabes, and they all trickle down into the masses pretending to be class traitors when in reality they’re just wearing us like a letterman jacket. its all unserious to them. They get arrested at just stop oil protests, they go out and riot or join ANTIFA or shoot some CEO… but they’re just spoiled rich kids who don’t understand us.

        Oh hey, did you hear that Brian Thompson died? I guess he was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare or something.

          no he hasn’t, this will do nothing. literally, nothing. his action was fruitless. it wasted his potential to acutally help the lower classes. it was a mentally ill bid for attention and you all know it.
