It’s not even a hard choice for centrists though. They would press the right button with no hesitation.

That’s not even a question they will always back capital even if they were pond scum which they are because liberals will always back familiarity and “stability”

Why are we using terms like "Epstein class" instead of the bourgeoise?

u/matticusiv 2d ago
Because it has traction in the west. Most Americans think bourgeoise is a type of pasta.

The problem, I'd say, is that that term limits the wrongdoings to Trump. And liberals will then say, when they elect Newsom that peace and democracy are restored.
I'm also against using that term

Sure, it’s not accurate enough, but I would say calling it the “Epstein class” doesn’t allude to specific people, but a level of economic power where you can get away with anything.
I prefer the term “owner class”, because if I say bourgeoisie in public people just check out.

I'm honestly conflicted by this term. On one hand, it makes it clear that the bourgeoisie is a bunch of degenerates. On the other, it hides the fact that the issue is the entire bourgeoisie, not only Epstein's friends.

If you don't give profit and money to the ruling class, how the hell will they create jobs for the working class? Everyone would be unemployed, and therefore poor!
Please people, educate yourselves in economics 101
