I think calling cops "pigs" and CEOs "swines" is bad, because pigs are deserving of respect.
- Pigs are delightful. Let's call cops bedbugs.
  
  Aye, I think I'm fine with disrespecting bedbugs.
  
  I vote ticks.
  
  Nah call em mosquitos
  
  You’re gonna be hard pressed to find anything as totally loathsome in the animal kingdom to get a fair analogy.
  
  It's the bugs, scram!
- But “bourgeois swine” is such a sweet phrase, it drips like honey off the tongue
- It calls Animal Farm to mind.
  "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
- Read much Atwood yet?
  
  With all the CorpSeCorp talk lately it's hard not to.
- I like what an old boss of mine used to say about being in sales; "Pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered." I don't pity the hogs.
- If any pigs want to do a press conference about it, they're more than welcome to...
  
  One does not earn respect--one loses respect. Animals have done nothing to lose respect, yet humans have done plenty.
  Humans are below animals. "Animals" are below humans.

Is pheasant actually tasty?
- Similar to other landfowl (turkey, grouse, etc.), the meat is more nuanced & flavorful than the poultry many are accustomed to, and can often be compared to that of a lean duck or even goose.
  Also, if you're cooking any meat "well done", you're destroying it. If you "prefer" it that way, you're a gawdamned idiot. 🤌🏽
  
  Bro eats medium rare chicken???
  
  You mean unlike other land fowl? Duck and goose is delicious. Turkey not so much.
- It is! At least, when cooked well.
  
  Technically, that's how you fuck it up.
  
  Now how do I cook it well?
- I didn't know it was a luxury item lol, my cousins would always go pheasant hunting and they're fucking delicious
- When cooked right its like a crispy little turkey l. Fucking delicious.

But brandy and grouse are still ok thought, right?
- You can sip on your brandy. You can feast on your grouse.
  We'll rally with pitchforks at the gates of your house.
  
  ... So, make extra
  
  How about foie gras?

Swine... Leech is more fitting imo
- You are bad at rhyming
  
  Tick with the disease off lymm ?
  Better now ?
- It doesn't vibe with animal farm, though

Please stop with the intra-class hate, it’s just a bad look and makes someone using such labels look like an envious have-not.
You risk alienating white collar or high-income working class with these slogans, who have a lot of political power.
The problem is compounded by the fact that most people have a misconception about their class status, and don’t realize that we’re all working class.
Your doctors, lawyers, engineers, and even some politicians are working class, but don’t want to admit it, or don’t understand how class works.
Edit inter vs intra is a sob
- Usually when working class and proletariat brought up, it means those who have to work to live. The bourgeoisie are the owning class who can just not do anything yet will be set for life.
- You risk alienating white collar or high-income working class with these slogans
  No, you don't. Everyone who has/had to work for a living (without the backstop of a trust fund) is quite aware. Anyone you would be alienating was already gone.
  
  You're really underestimating the propaganda at play
- Inter-class hate is the best kind of hate
  
  Ah I always get inter and intra mixed up
- someone using such labels look like an envious have-not.
  Uh, so true, shame on those peasants for the sin of envy, they should just be satisfied with what they have and let their betters enjoy the fruits of their exploitation.
  ^/s
  
  I am using the same language as people who make this type of criticism
- And where does their power and wealth come from? The working class It seems that they have forgotten this fact.
  Respectfully, shut the fuck up. We are done licking boots. I will wholeheartedly advocate for more corporate assassinations. They are fucking killing us, taking out a couple of them is a drop in the bucket
  
  I make these comments because I hate seeing people bring up the same tired ideas which lose at the polling booth.
  I agree that people deserve better, but there are a lot of idiots who cannot tell allies apart from foes. There’s no helping such people 🤷‍♀️
- Class is a bad look.
- The working class includes those who earn their living through wage-paying (hourly) jobs, typically involving manual labor or service work without poatsecondary education requirements. They tend to have modest property ownership, and make close to minimum wage with limited benefits. Working-class jobs are predominantly in the service sector, including retail sales, clerical work, food industry positions, and manual labor.
  Which definition of working class are you using that includes doctors, lawyers and engineers?
  
  I had a salaried position working as a cashier at a fucking gas station making 20k a year. Salaried vs hourly is the not the great class war dividing line. Also, public school teachers are salaried, and I'll be damned if I'm giving over the teachers to the guillotine.
  
  Gatekeeping what working class is. That's new. Just thought it meant that you worked for a living instead of being an "owner class"
  
  Professional and Technical 'classes' and other specializations may have more privilege and income, but end the work-derived income and their assets will not sustain them.
  They are subsets of the working class because they must work.
