you don’t have to invite yourself to every form and experience of oppression. anyone with a baby’s consciousness of intersectionality ought to be capable of admitting when they have privilege
youre being obtuse. the issue is saying “we’re all workers” in order to dismiss peoples valid concerns and experiences. Obviously tech workers are still workers. their workers just privileged has hell, and they generally need to learn when to shut up and listen.
Is that the issue? Because when I consider myself in the same boat as poorly paid workers, it’s to support their — and my — rights, benefits and security.
yes
its nice you dont run into these people but they are everywhere.
