That's not a coincidence. The 0.1% would much rather the 99.9% squabble over race and gender than class: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/media-great-racial-awakening https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/media-great...
- lotsofpulp 5y agoThis is not simply due to what the 0.1% want, but nearly every person in the 99.9% likes “knowing” they are not at the bottom, and so choose to associate themselves with various classes within the 99.9%.
- JPKab 5y agoIt was very weird having my last company's CEO talking to us about his focus on equity, when the mandatory company report showed his salary was 111x that of the average employee (at a tech company with no hourly workers). At some point, you wanted to ask if he truly thought his salary was worth more than half of the development team's combined salary, and whether he thought that was equitable.
