There's always tomorrow to fuck up and do the wrong thing (or the right one for our fascists). That's how we can settle into whatever level of collective dumbfuckery we sink to. There are toilet seats to leave up if you never manage to do another wrong. Classism, in contrast, suggests (or perceives) that the facts of these matters are not or may not be the right or wrong maker. That membership in some social class is, instead.
We're remarkably similar to each other in many , and many surprising, ways. IMO. I'd call it about a wash for humanity, fascists stick out as particularly shitty because of this.
I don't contend the fact I'm doing better than some people I deem idiots but I strongly disagree with this being result of human nature. I'm not ubermensch, nor they are untermenschen. It's obviously some other factor at play be it cultural capital, knowledge of history or grandparents in concentration camps.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
