    So running a craft studio and selling your art direct to people in your area makes you a class traitor now?

    Man, I’m having trouble keeping up with who we’re supposed to hate guys.

      You hit a false dichotomy. “Not your allies” does not automatically mean “class traitors”. They might be neutral.

      Stop strawmanning it. You’re arguing in bad faith when you use an example nobody is talking about.

      Obviously, they mean that small business people are generally (remember that word?) still owner class capitalists, which are generally not your friend if you’re a wagey.

      You can judge it pretty succinctly: if they are controlling a resource that others depend on in order to live (such as deriving a wage), then they are the bourgeoisie. What you’re referring to is closer to lumpenproletariat — someone who works for themselves

        Okay, so if they employ someone part time to help with the bookkeeping, then I’m supposed to hate them, but not before? Just trying to understand.

          God I can feel your sneering condescension through this post.

          I can almost hear the subtle lisp rasping through your teeth as you read your own posts back to yourself.

          I don’t know what you look like, but I know the people who bullied me in highschool would have bullied you twice as hard.

          No! Hate them if they’re different!! Any kind of identifiable difference!!! If they’re not with you they are obviously against you!! !! Don’t just sit around bitching about it on the internet, take real action!! !!! The elections are rigged and useless anyway, direct action is the only thing that makes a difference!!! !!! If you don’t do it now, THEY will only make things WORSE for you!!! ! !!!

          /s !!! !! !!!

      having trouble keeping up with who we’re supposed to hate

      Everyone. The bots are going for maximal conflict and strife - spend more time online, find more outrageous reasons to hate more people.
