Original poster deleted it between when I opened the article and when I tried to comment on it. Dunno why, but here it is again.

    It must be great to be so rich you can spend your life obsessing about bullying others

    Lol. This is a past time of every class, equally.

      Lol. This is a past time of *individuals in every class, equally.

      It is not, in fact, a pastime of every class equally. Considering that the capitalist class makes their entire living from controlling and intimidating workers into doing actual work for them, the capitalist class systemically and explicitly spends their whole lives bullying others and being so rich that bullying people is all they ever have to worry about. Obviously we have working class individuals who suck too, but bullying others is not a systemic feature of the working class.

        Major party voters. Antiunion and union working class. Church, mosque and temple members (witch trials, inquisition, when people held a grudge and used these and police forces). Snitches. Attention seekers. You’re free to disagree, and I said what I said.

          You have exhibited subsets of the working class, only some of which are obsessed with bullying. But even if for charitability’s sake we assume that all those subsets are hypothetically obsessed with bullying…you have not presented (1) a set of subsets that covers the entire working class, or (2) a mode of causality to suggest why this is a feature of the working class systemically, i.e. a reason why such a covering exists.
