im gonna keep it real w you. "all prejudice is actually rooted in class and if you think there's any element of xenophobia in any of it you're actually a fascist" is a really stupid and unhelpful take
#red rambles#you need to be able to understand the enemy (fascists racists bougies etc) to understand how to fight them#dont do . this shit and cut yourself off from the understanding in order to justify a view of the world that suits your theory better'#its unuseful. idc how nice it sounds. ending the concept of class will help a lot yes but god pretending there's no reason that The Other#is the one being oppressed in almost all cases of oppression is fucking. Its stupid. its shortsighted#people are xenophobic and this xenophobia is reinforced constantly in society#racism is an outgrowth of the fear of difference. so is a lot of other shit. classism isnt necessarily but cultural stereotypes about lower#classes promote it and it's useful to keep people divided#augh.
