I don't think its your intention, but this kind of reads like "go be poor somewhere else". The uptick in the messages you're seeing are from people that are on the losing end of society, and that losing end is growing more and more all the time. So far I'm lucky (and it is just luck) to not be there, but I recognize that ignoring, or worse silencing, them is the wrong way to go.
Their messages have value because they aren't being heard. If that keeps up, it will mean the shredding of our society and we all lose. So in short, I'm fine with the "class war" messages as they are here against the rich establishment.
I understand your view, but for a bit of context i'm poor too. I live in Brazil and my origin state the poorest in my country. The current region i live is also sometimes biased against people like me. My financial situation is also quite shit right now.
Maybe i'm trying to be an escapist, seeing my own problems on unfunny internet comics, but say "go be poor somewhere else" really wasn't my intention with this post.
I have heard this sentiment before ie where people in stronger economic situations are more likely to birch endlesslly about class struggling while people beat down just need some escape.
You ain't wrong we all got to cope.
The class struggle is just human condition. People have a right to cope as. They see fit.
I couldn't say it better. You are absolutely right
