Every time I log on here someone on my timeline is singing the praises of the virtuous and glorious Professional Managerial Class.
How do you people not get bored of talking about them (i.e. yourselves)?

The obvious difference being that the average bsky user is employed in the latter and not the former.
I'm agnostic on automation, if it works it works, I just think the productivity gains should benefit workers.

That's fair. It just seems that people on here are much more enthusiastic, even gleeful, about automating blue collar jobs and argue it's an unambiguous economic positive, but with white collar jobs, it's illogical and harmful and tech CEOs just want to intimidate the professional class or something

Even if your argument is more "practical" and you oppose increasing wages because it will increase prices for consumers (this also applies to sweatshop workers etc), the same thing still applies-- you are a hypocrite if you think professionals should be paid more but not e.g. factory workers.

... a group of workers the userbase doesn't like. If you make that argument, you cannot complain about professionals like corporate lawyers and software engineers being underpaid. They are also paid what they deserve.

A lot of liberals justify the low pay of manual labour by their lower productivity and oppose union action to increase their wages because "they are paid what they are deserve". This is a generic conservative anti-bargaining stance which is somehow accepted on this site when it's used against ...

A manifestation of this untrue class narrative is "schrodinger's manufacturing worker": overpaid, coddled by the government, and actually doing quite well despite what NYT journos say, but their jobs and lives are so bad that increasing them will immiserate and impoverish the country. Which is it?

More broadly the idea that Trumpism/the far right is mainly a movement of angry reactionary blue collar luddites (men) who resent the success of the PMC (women) and want to return to a time when they could oppress them. I don't think reflects reality

The mythologising and worship of the Professional Managerial Class (PMC) is out of hand. You are drawing conclusions about the moral character of an entire demographic based on them voting democrat by what is probably a 5 to 10 percent margin.

I don’t think you know what a horseshoe looks like.
An underrated horseshoe dynamic that shapes a lot of US political.cultural discourse is that seething, inchoate resentment aimed at this mental image unifies both the entire right-wing political-media infrastructure AND the heights of prestige left/liberal media and intelligentsia.
one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

The one "abundance" policy I support is massively increasing energy generation by rounding up GOPtards, crushing and pulping them, and processing the biomass into usable fuel.
