    You’re right that I am afraid, but it’s easy for me to articulate my fears without just calling other people names. And saying “triggered”.

    I’m afraid that the popularity of wedge issues manufactured to sow conflict within the working class is so effective. I’m afraid that good people (you) are being manipulated into participating enthusiastically in that manufactured conflict. I’m afraid that people like you, who have the capacity to channel their righteous anger have been conned into being upset against amorphous abstract boogeymen rather than the real concrete people responsible for real concrete injustice.
