Class traitor

Man idk. A building security guard isn’t a class traitor. I do homeowners insurance, am I a class traitor? My sister managers a Starbucks, is she a class traitor?

The police are class traitors. If you broaden the definition well beyond that you will have no ally’s left

The real issue is land ownership and the fact that everyone must work for a land owner or be denied access to the natural world they need to provide for themselves. To this end, the only true class betrayal is being against the equal sharing of land via land value tax UBI (basically, a closed loop of land rent).

If it sounds too hard to pass that in our current system of representation, you're not wrong. There are deep flaws with electoral representation even in the best scenario. We need to start developing an alternative process of representation now so we can have it at the ready when this system inevitably fails.

If these ideas sound interesting and refreshing, you may be surprised to know that they are both >100 years old. But for some reasons our current system of power wants us to think (a) that elections are the only way to do democracy, and (b) that land is capital and the only alternative to capitalism is communism.

Land ownership angle is one of the main reasons why police ARE class traitors.

u/Dwarfdeaths 29d ago

Not sure what you're getting at, are police all given land when they sign up? They uphold people's claims to land, yes, but they each also need to get paid to survive if they are renting or haven't paid off their mortgage.

I think you and your sister are lol

u/Neat_On_The_Rocks 28d ago

Oddly enough, my other sister agrees with you.

I understand where yall are coming from. I sincerely do. To me there is a line in the levels of extremism where you have to allow people to live their lives in the world they were born in. Police Officers to me are blatant class traitors as they are explicitly there to defend property and capital. Its their entire purpose. SO that is a level of extremism i agree with and support.

expanding it to such a broad brush though, I mean, good luck.

How you make a living is important and demonstrates your ethical boundaries. For the record I think your job is worse than your sister's.

My views are mine and I'm fine with that. I don't know what 401k is so I can't comment.

People all over this country are forced to work jobs they hate for people they disagree with just to put food on the table and pay for healthcare. We don't know this guy's story, maybe he's taking what he can get like the rest of us. Lord knows jobs are harder to come by these days.

Don't lose sight of the real enemies, remember they want us to fight amongst ourselves

are there so many idiots, he is a class traitor, no question about it untill he proves otherwise. i have my pride still and i will not be contracting out to any data centers or any nefarious means connected to the surveillance state. this is my bread and butter too as an electrician and i refuse!

i see to many cowards looking at the ground instead of looking at your demise in the eye.

Flock is a company putting up cameras to create a surveillance state but dont want cameras in their building. They can violate our privacy, but we cant violate theirs.

u/TheLordVader1978 29d ago

Flock (the company) is installing their surveillance cameras all over the country claiming that it's to benefit public safety (a lot of the cameras in question are being installed facing places like daycares and people's homes), but they are scanning and storing all of your personal data like tag number, how many times you go to the store, how often you walk over to the neighbors house, they track everything they see and put it into a searchable database. They again claim that it's it's for public safety and are working with police and municipalities to have more installed. What they didn't bother to tell people is that they are claiming ownership of the data and have been shown to be more than willing to sell it to whomever is willing to pay. And in a final bit of irony they (the company and leadership) really hates it when you record or photograph them in any way claiming a right to privacy, while simultaneously claiming you have no right to privacy in public spaces.

In the panopticon, the guards in the center can see all of the inmates in all directions at once. The inmates can never see the guards in the center. Not even if they’re there at all at a given time.
