When I was a PBS watching 5 year old I learned from experience that an episode of Ghostwriter was either going to be the most boring thing I would watch all day or absolutely terrifying if it had this guy in it

This passage from Lu Xun expresses the feeling of having class consciousness and trying to get others to develop it as well, however futile it may feel at times.

Baldwin takes a lot of poses in this writing before getting to his final stance at the end. It's complex and worth reading the whole thing, but my takeaway is: "All people. Stop identifying with your oppressors. It perpetuates their power and ensures that you will never be more than them"

Here is Marx expounding on this phenomenon
![That which is for me through the medium of money – that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy) – that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power of money is the extent of my power. Money’s properties are my – the possessor’s – properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness – its deterrent power – is nullified by money. I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who has [In the manuscript: ‘is’. – Ed.] power over the clever not more clever than the clever? Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ygblzhpx25rwcifx4v4ft43k/bafkreifzhzwiulcix2c2cw3hhm7wkdrm4qtsgbfpnbgh7obt2viqmug2uq@jpeg)

The "no chin" thing has its origins in a graphic novel series where the main character is criticizing racists for being so proud of themselves as white people while being imperfect and flawed themselves.

Yeah when people do that they are still buying into the division that has been imprinted onto us by our exploiters. Unity and universal acceptance of each other is what will give us the strength to overthrow them.

..a very profitably exploitable reality since before the overthrow of the USSR, then we're still being duped by the western bloc of capitalists. Capital can't help but to want to vampire off vast resources- the math must shake out for them in such a way that they're willing to spend over a hundred..
