no, it's an american thing that basically serves as a way to remove the issue of class in political discourse.

It really has no meaning at all! Whether you're making 200,000 a year as a small-medium size business owner or living off of unemployment and food stamps you identify as "middle class"

"working class" and "blue collar" are the american euphemisms for poor people

So basically it means "everyone who's not obscenely rich"? That's interesting.

I really have to get a grip on this so-called "class warfare" thing. I typed out a few conclusions in this post but then backspaced them out because I'm still not sure about a bunch of things. Not really something you could very easily explain, just the general idea and sentiment that I have to pay more attention to.

some old dude wrote three volumes of really good stuff on the subject a while ago....

All the ice has melted in town and now there's a thick fog over everything. I guess it's kind of corny to talk about ahhhhh the velvet mists *turns into a bat* but it was very nice. All the buildings seemed to lurch out of it and the trams were just black outlines passing by in the distance. I walked back by the Guiness brewery and on one side there was a mixture of old (georgian??) industrial buildings and new ones and steam and lights mixing with the fog and on the other side the river was completely black and still and I had to stop a moment to take it all in.

i think that would be great staging for a film. a personal drama in a fog-blanketed dublin

It feels like there has been so much bullshit in the news lately that the time is ripe for some good reaction to all of that. I dunno if it's just the juxtaposition of tory demons/fees/obama being worthless/bernie sanders/wikileaks/every world leader revealing their despicable nature etc and maybe it's all just gas and will go away but I'm kind of engaged right now, at least mentally, in a way I haven't been for a while because it just feels like one thing after another where it's Come on we've got to do something about this!

also today I was walking home from uni and I walked past 3 begging women, well 2 were selling the big issue but they don't always, and I didn't give any of them any money today. I do sometimes. These women are there most days of the week in the same spot. I have not yet found a way to be okay with not giving them money every time I see them and still have money? Maybe this is not a huge deal, but today after I'd walked past all three of them I was thinking 'man maybe i am being selfish. i've got a buck or two to spare right now!' and then I saw this guy wearing like a grey overcoat, scarf, fancy hair holding this loaf of gourmet bread crap in a brown bag from one of these gourmet expensive food stores that exist in this rich asshole part of glasgow where I live. Then I saw a bunch of other people wearing the exact same thing as he was and they all had the same hoarding, smug, disdainful look on their face but that's just me and projecting my own guilt onto other people but I bet that guy paid like 4 or 5 pounds for that friggin bread.

i am that man eating that overpriced bread

only drunk two glasses of whisky and smoked 4 fags yesterday... im slacking!

still, atleast i drew lots of pictures of mooing cows in a birthday card for my mum's b.day, she'll appreciate that
