Class Unconsciousness
Trump, of course, is an asshole. But I don't get the wage slave anglo manager in this story. He heaps abuse on workers like he has more in common with Trump than he has with the workers.
I'm here to tell you Bruv, aside from melanin you don't have shit in common with Trump.

Song Of The Day: Dec. 8, 2018
"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then." As did I today:
Ammon Bundy has more integrity than Ken Simpler. …Ammon Fucking Bundy.
Ken Simpler would still be Delaware's Treasurer if he had a portion of Ammon Bundy's integrity.
Ammon Bundy, the rancher at the center of a 2016 standoff with the government at an Oregon wildlife preserve, said he is leaving the militia movement after criticizing President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Bundy shut down his social media accounts and announced that he was stepping away from “patriot groups,” BuzzFeed News reported Thursday.
He said the decision comes after he faced fierce backlash for opposing Trump’s attacks on a caravan of migrants.
"It's like being in a room full of people in here, trying to teach, and no one is listening," he told the outlet. "The vast majority seemed to hang on to what seemed like hate, and fear, and almost warmongering, and I don't want to associate myself with warmongers."
Bundy said it was “incorrect” for Trump to characterize the group of Central American migrants traveling toward the U.S. as “all criminal.”
"To group them all up like, frankly, our president has done — you know, trying to speak respectfully — he has basically called them all criminals and said they’re not coming in here. ... It seems that there’s been this group stereotype,” Bundy said in a video posted to Facebook.
