    …and leftists know that the “abortion debate” is culture warfare injected into the less-educated by billionaires to distract from class warfare.

      I was just using that as an example.

      Another great one is immigration. Liberals thinks conservatives want to restrict immigration because they hate foreigners. Conservatives want to stop immigration because the job market sucks and has sucked since 2008.

        The reason why the job market sucks is that unions got defanged and international capital movement freed from the 80s onwards.

        That’s why life for working people took 3 steps backwards compared to our parents and grandparents who could buy a house, go on holidays and have a boat on a factory wage. While we are going to have trillionaires soon and the only thing that’s cheaper is the fuel of capitalism: telecoms and wages.

        The problem has never been another wage earner - the problem is pitting us against each other and us taking the bait.
