*wealthy bad people
Poor bad people get disproportionately punished to be made an example of.
My experience with shitty managers tells me that it’s not just rich people.
Richer than their workers
Yeah but I'm guessing the shift manager at burger king is not going home to a mansion.
But that's the game. Keep the poors fighting over scraps.
It's about the wealth-gradient.
Shit always moves down the gradient.
Temperature gradient. Pressure gradient. Wealth gradient is the same.
That's why they say "shit rolls downhill."
This is why class politics is incomplete without an understanding of hierarchy. People within a hierarchy will try to pass accountability up the chain, and it stops at the first person capable of deflecting it down. The more egregious the offense the higher up the chain it goes so the ones at the upper levels make sure the hierarchy is as tall as possible so that accountability never reaches the top. Your manager is the next rung up the hierarchy from you and most offenses are minor enough for them to deflect it. Sometimes the bureaucracy enables the accountability to be spread across so many hands that it fizzles out, and sometimes someone has to take the fall.
Lately I've been telling myself "no war but class war" whatever a dickhead in a shitty car cuts me off or rides in the shoulder or something, as a reminder that "poor bad people" are victims too.
Basically it helps direct my anger at those who deserve it more, not the misguided thin blue line jagoff who probably will be homeless if they miss a paycheck, etc. (And don't get me wrong, I wanna strangle them but we have a common enemy even if they don't know it!)
Not just poor bad people. Poor people with no choice because of the actions of bad rich people too
Poor "perfectionist ethics" good people get punished even worse.
People who are ethically normal and average but poor are usually content. People who operate on vibes are fine. I'm surrounded by them.
But if you are stupid and selfish you are fucked and if you are smart and neurotic about being a good person you are double fucked.
