so do you know any of the working class?

every family that dragged their feet on vaccines are feeling really damn good about it now as the whispers of blood clots, young athletes dropping dead, cancer rates etc go around...

and are these concerns valid? time will tell

These people don't need p-values, they share their suspicions and worries amongst each other, as real communities tend to do.

Check in with any working class whites, immigrants, and black folk you know (the ones who aren't playing middle class status games)

Russell Brand is right on the pulse of sentiments I hear from actual working people way too old to know who he is. He's giving that voice a fast paced funny vibe to grab the new young/based audience.

p.s. fishers essay hit a nerve w/everyone who felt drawn to those scenes by temperament but too savvy about human nature to get sucked into the vortex, or too actually-working-class to afford time in activist circles. The rebuttals are insipid, just noise eager to get second hand clicks.

Dying by his own hand was weak af, compromised the aftertaste of his writing, tho he always had that 'too old to be new too new to be classic' self-pity vibe of the aging professor...

(It bothers me aesthetically the same way seeing my beautiful kate spade handbags does, but I digress)
