Seeing some of my comrades who are from lumpen prole/prole backgrounds be SO fucking bright and having had ZERO access to education (the lucky ones have and the difference it makes to like… being able to pass and institutional access and shit– damn that’s a thing)
Like they’re smart, and they’re curious and they soak up information like a sponge and analyze it with such intelligence and just… they give a fuck, they’re intellectually engaged, and like there are just these gigantic gaps in informational and educational access… and it’s just so fucked up.
Like I know so many fuckin’ bougie prep school kids who were utterly intellectually lazy, gave not one single shit about immense amount of culture and information at their finger tips and like laughed at people who did care, and like the fucking best and brightest are fucking working cashier jobs and don’t even know how to find academic articles let alone being able to afford access to them while shitty little whoopit is getting drunk with his gross startup bros.
And it’s just like on top of everything it’s so fucking unfair.
