as an American it’s hard to imagine blue collar workers taking any amount of coherent action, the boss has surveillance on them 24/7 and if they step out of line they’ll lose the meds that keep their kids alive or they’ll be disappeared to el salvador
As an American, it’s pretty fucking aggravating watching blue collar workers vote against their (and everyone else’s, save for rich people’s) interests in a statistically-significant fashion.
American blue collar workers don’t have class consciousness. They vote against their own interests, eat processed food, and watch football. They’re cheering on their billionaire bosses while they get poorer and their pocket gets picked by those same bosses.
As an American it’s hard to imagine blue collar workers that oppose Israel.
