Read “Caste: the origin of our discontents” and you’ll see that income stratification has always been about class, race, sex, and other arbitrary traits. There are “pink collar jobs” assigned only to women. I’ve witnessed anti-male discrimination in Direct Support & Nursing jobs for example and this is because that is not their “place” in the caste system. It’s not a rhetoric; it’s observation, evidence, and an accurate model of soceity

Why
- Comment on O no 1 month ago:
Imo, it is because those jobs are gatekept for specific kinds of people. It is not about the difficulty. In fact, the more education, the easier the jobs get because the lowest class is assigned all the hard manual labor like farming, cleaning, etc. The credentialist system is designed specificaly for inequality and exclusion

some thoughts
- he made a lot of people feel powerless with his manipulative debate tactics. People resort to violence when they feel powerless
- he was asked about mass shootings before being shot in public. Coincidentally, there was a high school mass shooting in Colorado the same day.
- We all have to be aware of and prepare for the risk of homicide whenever leaving the house
