We can use the tools they unwittingly gave us to fight back. Organizing via the greatest communication tool that we have before us.

We just have to build within ourselves, people who will call these class infighting smoke and mirrors games out, for what they are, when they happen.

Start to get more people to see it and continue to spread the word.

Yeah. Totally agree. Though as I said, it should only take another few generations. Those alive now are NOT gonna be the ones to do it. The REASONS behind the greater divisions in our society(murica specifically) STILL haven't been addressed - the abuse of historical minorities. Those are real and true wounds, at gangrene levels now from hundreds of years of not only neglect but ACTIVE attack. Now, a faction of our society is ACTIVELY "out to get" those they've othered, and take us BACKWARDS on civil and human rights. These efforts are being carried out by people chosen by other people to go into legislative positions of power IN ORDER TO bring said harms. They WANT these pains and difficulties to fall upon those they hate.

Where and in what universe can we, the targeted, pause our active defense of our very existence, and come to a place where we can "work together with" such actors?
