Class is funny. One of the guys I play DnD with grew up on the other side of Cleveland from me.
We were sitting down and getting out notebooks and dice and I said "Hey, I was in Parma last weekend for a wedding. Right behind the old Armory." He goes "Oh, yeah."
The other two guys thought I went to Italy for the weekend.
2/ 🧵When I was younger, the phrase ‘upward mobility’ was a key part of any economic talk or policy. Government was focused on providing pathways to prosperity and to the middle class. Poverty was not viewed as permanent. Jobs were plentiful, wages were fair for the time. Now, our leaders, financed by corporate and billionaire dollars, are intent on keeping us down, extracting as much wealth as possible (think subscriptions for everything and rising costs with shrinking packaging) while distracting us with bogus social/cultural war issues and massive #Disinformation campaigns. #USPOL #USPolitics #economics #MiddleClass #UpwardMobility

Daily reminder that If I could get subscribers on Patreon & Kofi to get an income that would cover myself (and my disabled family of 6) needs, (more than the current $200 or less a month!) I wouldn't need to be asking for mutual aid so consistently!

Spaces about #socialmobility #upwardmobility will encourage more anti capitalist incentives. Folks who have lost societal backing because they divested in some way still need an income. But with enough priviledged folks redistributing their wealth, they can help off set and provide where oppressors have attempted to sabotage.
I encourage other marginalized folks to use #SocialMobility #UpwardMobility tags to promote monthly subscriptions or other means of inquiring for long term collective financial support, unmet labor compensation.

So ull see me posting more in #socialmobility #upwardmobility tags. We need more strategy for folks looking to overcome classism by creating equity rather than punching down on poor ppl for existing. These spaces are for folks who want to see ppl impacted by colonialism and capitalism achieve upward mobility instead of being stuck in poverty with zero income or compensated labor wages.

„The #americandream is alive an well, and living in #Copenhagen.“ Currently reading „The Tyranny of #Merit - Can We Find The Common Good?“ by Michael J. Sandell. In it, many important social issues are addressed that are relevant to most Western societies, e.g. #Credentialism in #education, the highly illusionary promise of #upwardmobility or the flip side of a #meritocratic view: That unsuccessful and poor people are held responsible for their misfortune all by themselves. #equity #bookstodon
