@starkatt Our epoch, the epoch of the voregeoisie, possesses, however, this distinct feature: it has simplified class antagonisms. Society as a whole is more and more splitting up into two great hostile camps, into two great classes directly facing each other — Vorer and Voree.

Under capitalism, there is a class of people whose primary role is one of consumption:

1993: on the internet nobody knows you're a dog
2017: the NSA is confused and concerned by your continued very public claims of being a dog

Him: "Towwpay"
Me: "I know it's spelled weird but it's pronounced "tope", and rhymes with "the increasing precarity of everyone's lives in combination with the belief that politics only occurs in a voting booth has left me with precious little hope."
