what about so many people from the working class that "don't care about politics", is that because of priviledge?

On Twitter, you don't say "I post shitty blanket statements in a way that makes me feel smarter than the strawman I invented to get mad at,," you do this. Isn't that amazing?

She pretty accurately described at least one person I know. It's not a strawman just because it's not directly relevant to you.

Your one anecdote doesn't prove her blanket statement true

Maybe it wasn't a blanket statement. Maybe it was a statement of her experience meant for people who can understand. Like me.

Or you just realized that the rules have never been written with you in mind. "You" being a middle aged depressed overworked underpreforming loner without a family or future. It doesn't matter to you whether Jesus himself or straight up Nazis are going to be elected because you're most likely not even going to see the end of the next legislative period. Best case nothing happens, worst case, you're going to face the wall with a smile.

Ya had me in the first half. Ya lost me in the second.

This makes no sense

I think what they're trying to say is you're an ass if you don't care about others.

Made perfect sense to me

Sure it's maybe a me thing; I just don't get it
