Also like I think that classism is a useful term

As a leftist, because I think classist aggression, and class injuries are indicative of the shape and way of functioning of the system of capitalist domination, like classist microaggressions serve the purpose of reinforcing the system and making alternative systems harder to propose and enact.

Like by stereotyping the working class as lazy, criminal, ignorant and socially regressive they put us on the back foot, and like when liberal bourgeois folks use say “gay rights” as a way to posit their obvious superior to the working masses, they A: Erase the incredible violence their system does to LGBTQETC people who don’t fit into bourgeois models of respectability or have the financial resources to keep themselves safe and B: Also fail to admit to the general economic violence intertwined with oppression and basically cover shit up and yea
