Oh? When's the last time you worked a minimum wage job?

That is false. The only one making a claim of "hapless imbeciles" here is you.
- aardvarkr 4y agoHe’s right, you’re infantilizing then and removing any agency on their behalf. I’ve worked minimum wage jobs and around unskilled labor for half my life and I guarantee you that they’re people too and can make their own decisions.
- wpietri 4y agoOne, I'm not even the person who made those claims. Two, I have also worked minimum wage jobs and believe that I too am a person with agency. And three, noting that people have different levels of privilege is not denying them humanity or agency. Indeed, privilege-based analysis is often used to get recognized as human groups that are often treated as less than that.
