And you think you’re so clever and classless and free

But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

    Thinking that Musk is in the working class is the dumbest thing I’ve read this morning.

    Plus the local school board is elected while Musk had a few months to destroy the government for the Republicans without being elected.

      It’s not dumb, it shows the brilliance of the ruling class in controlling the narrative. A lot of people will think this way and continue to support them even though it’s grossly misguided and definitely not in their own best interests.

        It’s both, the ruling class is absolutely using their control of the media to steer the narrative, but plenty of people who are exposed to the same media recgnize that Elon is the enemy, this guy is definitely still a moron in every timeline regardless of the state of the media environment

        I haven’t seen that one, but yes this is stupider than being wrong about the price of eggs.

      I don’t understand the meme

      Does the word “put” mean “assign to” (demote Elon musk by assigning him to the working-class) or classify? It’s very poorly worded

        The wording is actually fine, but I realize not everyone is steeped in US culture and language every day. To “put [blank] in …” is a common shorthand for assigning to a specific group or side. It’s just a thought experiment.

        Their actual point is unhinged, and easily proven wrong though…

    Don’t forget the true elites: the blue-haired, tattooed barista who makes your coffee, works two other jobs and shares with a roommate in his 30s.

    Put the kettle on. I can work with this. First, let’s define what we each mean by “working class” …

    Whether this was written by a bot or not, I’d say the intelligence is definitely artificial…
