What nobody ever talks about is "what is white?". Just a few generations ago, the melting pot that is white was full of different ethnicities that essentially hated each other. My grandma gave up the family money and was shunned to marry my poor Polock grandfather. Well, he might have been poor, but back then he was able to raise 5 kids and have a stay at home wife on a grocery store manager's salary. Those days are long gone...

Here's a controversial opinion. There is no such thing as White privilege. Minorities are sold this bill of goods to garner votes. It feeds into what they want to hear. What there is, is culture privilege. After you have explained to the country what culture privilege is, you can explain how being White in America has gained them privilege. How it has helped them get ahead and been a get out of jail free card others don't possess. This is a truth the White working class can understand and accept. I have yet to see the democratic party has figured this out.

We need to stop poking White people to garner favoritism from minorities. It only builds a wall between hard working minorities and hard working White people who need each other.

Go outside of any suburban area and you'll find plenty of uneducated whites in America who are far from well spoken.

A lot of black parents do damage to their employability with the names they give their children too. I won't say her name here, but I will say that one of the girls I worked with at Kmart used her middle name, and the rare occasion one of the day managers used her given name she got angry about it.

My point is, dress nicely for a job interview and do something about your ridiculous name if you have to, and you've got just as good a shot of getting a job as a white person. If you're female, your chances are even higher.

Like I said, I don't believe in White privilege but being white in America does have it's advantages. In order to have an honest discussion with those who are not white, you have to understand that. Look into it, understanding culture privilege is not a slight against White people. The term White privilege is.

I'm glad to see the term liar still doesn't apply to you. Wish I could say that about others here.

SIX: I've posted long thoughts on this one. When women started working and eventually became half or more of the workforce out of necessity, the job pool shrunk in half. I've known women in my life who have bitched about the "revolution" and would rather not have to work to live, and I've known women who were stay-at-home moms and are grateful that their husbands made enough money to allow them to do that. They constantly get shit on by other women in their lives.

Most of us already live like this already, Sigs. Sure... nobody is actually living in the mop closet at KMart, but they barely make enough money to have a small apartment (far too small if there is a family with kids). I was lucky enough to be doing those types of jobs after I had done right with the money I did make from good jobs I used to be able to get, but I've worked with plenty of people holding down 2 or 3 part-time shit-wage jobs while their spouses also worked 2 or 3 part-time shit wage jobs. Neither of them had insurance through their jobs because government only forces that for full-time work, and the companies know this so most of them limit the full-time work strictly to management. The only reason they even got the benefits of food-stamps is because of the kids, since working those combined 4 to 6 part-time shit-wage jobs would have priced them out of SNAP. Some of them could afford insurance from the marketplace if they could show any restraint with the almost non-existent extra money they had after paying all the bills. Most of them couldn't.

Wage slaves are still slaves. And there are tens of millions of American citizens that fall into this category. But at least, somehow, they're a step above the growing number of millions of homeless people putting up shanty towns all over the US's major cities.

But wages slaves at least get a wage, which is a step above not geting anything.

SIGNY: If this were to happen in the USA we would call it slavery. OR, WE MIGHT CALL IT UNPAID LABOR. Or, being a housewife.

SIX: That's a subjective point of view on your part. And you've already told me that in your world you've never known a housewife situation where she wasn't being abused.

---

I said that in the households I knew (and I later remembered one exception, which was my step-aunt and her husband) MOST of the housewives I knew were under their husband's thumb, and I knew of two horrific cases of abuse, one ending in death. And since I know the children very closely, these weren't just stories I heard third or fourth-hand or rumors or newspaper clippings. But just bc a married women worked didn't guarantee happiness, a lot depended on the man she was married to.

Hubby, who was abused as well as his mom and brother, remembers nice households from his youth. When he was working construction and got to know the people and their families on his team pretty well, in most cases hubby just turned his paycheck over to wiffy and she ran the household and raised the kids and did the budgeting bc hubby was working 6 days a week, 14 hours a day.

So, your mileage may vary.

My friend's wife who is a stay-at-home mom and home-schools their daughter loves her life. I'd only ever met her once before they got married when we were all in the limo for another mutual friend's wedding. Her husband and I had a falling out years earlier and it wasn't until 4 years ago that we reconnected and he's one of my closest two friends today. So it wasn't until I spent all night talking to her after she and her daughter made me dinner after mowing their lawn while he was out of town for job training about a month ago where I found out that back then she was kind of a big shot at an advertising firm when they met. When she got pregnant, she decided she wanted to stay at home and raise their daughter and my buddy made plenty enough money to make that happen.

Their daughter is one of the most impressive 9 year olds I've ever met. She was telling me about books she's reading (EGADS! 9 year olds even know what a book is in 2023!), and they weren't kid books. Two years ago when she was only 7 years old she was baking her own cookies that she got the recipe for online, with her mother only there to supervise to make sure a 7 year old doesn't burn the house down. They were amazing and she was so proud of them. I never see her moping around or bitching about anything. When the 3 of them are together and I'm over it's like watching 3 adults talking with each other.

She was telling me about her plans with the two closets in her bedroom last time I was over, including shelving and drawers, and a place to put her new record player she's going to get for Christmas because she's excited to be able to play her new vinyl records she'd saved up for, and how she's going to sell her old toys (some sort of beanie baby type collectable plushy things that are hot right now) to fund the job. (Her dad could easily afford it, but they're teaching her right, you see).

That's when her mom chimed in and said they were hoping I could be involved in that because they've seen what I did to my closet and she also saw the mock-up I made for a future project in the Man Cave a few months ago.

Well, see - you're an insipiration!

All I can say is, your friend must have a highly paid secure job.

I can't account for my hubby's and my different childhood memories. Maybe his home life was so horrid that anything that looked halfway normal looked great. Another possibility is that when and where he grew up (in the USA) the economy was robust and men were mostly secure in their jobs. Where and when I grew up, it was in the shadow of an economic decline already. My dad lost two jobs right after coming to America, and I think many men were nervously waiting for that pink slip to show up.

Just for full disclosure - hubby grew up in postwar Soviet Hungary when there was maybe one working truck in the whole country. People were poor and life was hard. He remembers vividly, and fondly, the times he and his brother were sent up to live with their grandparents (mother's side, the normal side of the family) in a small hamlet in the mountains. There were no such things as "housewives" altho ther WAS a division of labor. Grandpa worked as an engineer in a small coal mine, maintaining the ventilation and elevators, and pitched in at harvest time. Grandma did everything else: She grew a large kitchen garden which was a fair portion of the family's food (in fact, that's why hubby and his brother were sent there for the summer: there was food there), preserved food for the winter, raised a pig for slaughter in the fall (men did the actual slaughtering and butchering - pigs are HUGE, and mean, and wily), raised chickens and geese, baked bread, was the family medic etc. She was also on a council of women in the hamlet who had control of the precious poppy extract, which (aside from willow bark) was the only effective painkiller that they had.

EVERYONE had a job, even the smaller children. It was hubby's job to fetch milk from the one family that had a cow, to herd the geese (they were as tall as he was, and scary), take the dough to the baking kiln (there was one kiln for the hamlet). It was a hard existance, everyone worked, and everyone got to keep the fruits of their labor.

SIGNY: Unpaid household labor is just another way for business owners to wring more profit from their employees, because their employees can come to work with all of their personal needs taken care of, ready to focus on the day.

SIX: Chores are chores. Nobody should be paid to do household labor. I can't believe that this is what you're hinting at and I think I'm reading this wrong.

---

Until you try to raise a family without them being done. Who minds the kids? Who does the cooking? Who does the laundry and keeps the house clean? It's one thing to live as a bachelor and do for yourself, but a much larger chore taking GOOD care of four or five people.

Quote:

---

SIX: But now that you mention it, a lot of people ARE paid for household work. You just have to be on the poor end of the working spectrum to do it. I know I've told the story before of the single mom that worked at KMart overnight with me who had 3 kids before.

One day about a month from Tax Day she said she can't wait until tax time. I laughed and told her "that's a sentence I've never heard anybody ever say in my life." This is when she explained to me that because of the fact she was a single mom with 3 kids making what we made at The Mart, she was going to be getting $12k "back" at tax time with the EIC and other credits. I looked it up. She wasn't lying.

So both of us worked the same amount of hours per week, but she was getting paid more than twice the amount I got paid to do the job because of government subsidies that went her way to raise the kids.

As to not resent her because I liked her, I reasoned it out in my head that she was one of the only other people on night shift that actually did her damn job and she was a hard worker, and I'd been to her house and met her kids and they all seemed pretty decent. With how little we got paid there would be no way for her to take care of the three of them without that extra money, and I could only imagine how bad their lives would have been without it. They were all half-Mexican (their MIA dad who skipped town was Mexican), and they lived in a kind of lousy part of town. If their mom didn't have enough to provide for them, I could easily see them out doing drugs and joining local gangs instead of doing homework and playing video games.

And all that "housework" is worth something TO SOCIETY. Because what happens when nobody does it?

SIGNY And when business needs to hire younger labor ... VOILA! There it is! Someone popped them out and raised them (at least partway), without any cost to them!

SIX: Well right... Tax Farms.

NOPE! Profit Farms! Government isn't the biggest boogeyman, it's business. And business controls government.

Quote:

---

SIX: But more than that... I've already said how half the jobs or more in this country (and the world) only even exist because of how many people are on the planet. In a world where we reached equilibrium with the environment LONG before there were over 8 BILLION people living on the planet, there would be no need for a McDonalds and Starbucks and CVS on every major street corner.

---

You're projecting the USA onto the entire planet. In nations that are mostly rural, which is India and the rest of south Asia, most of Africa and large parts of S and Central America, there are plenty of existential jobs. People ... MOSTLY WOMEN ... still farm by hand. Still gather the wheat (in northern S Asia) and rice (in southern S Asia), corn (in Africa and many part of S and Central America) by hand. Still thresh by hand, grow greens and raise small animals and walk their produce to market. Still raise kids, pound grain and fetch water.

The problem isn't "too many people". It's "too much mechanization". or "unfair distribution of production".

In the grand sweep of history, when families were farm-based, everyone worked. Once industialization came into play, once farms were mechanized, and productivty was increased, not so many hands were needed. Children and were shifted OUT of workforce and women were no longer needed to grow and preserve food for the family, and card and spin and weave and do the endless things that needed doing. The "Housewife" was invented.

Men could still do heavy work: dealing with large animals, heavy industry, construction, etc. And then those were offshored or automated, too. (I recnetly saw a headline about the UAW strike which said "Chinese robots don't strike")

Women were only brought back into the workforce when so many men went to war (WWII, "Rosie the Riveter") or as the first step in driving down overall wages (before illegal immigration and offshoring)


In grand sweep of things, this would be progress ... more work can be done with fewer people and less work ... except, in THIS economic system, the only way to partake of all of that production is through money, and for most of us, that means working.

Since so much is skimmed off by stockholders and creditors and speculators, people don't get to keep what they earned, and automation is used ... not to make life easier for everyone, but to squeeze more and more people out of the workforce and lower nearly everyone's security and living standard.

So this isn't a "man v woman" thing, or a "black v white" thing, or an "old v young" thing. It's a "people v profit" thing. We, most of us, are just animals farmed for profit.

Quote:

SIGNY: Business doesn't just parasitize the worker, it parasitizes government and it parasitizes the whole society, including the family.

SIX: Yup. And our goddamned government doesn't do a thing about it. We're reaching a point where only a handful of people own all of the companies, and the dream of owning your own business is rapidly fading away since you could never actually compete with the behemoths. Every corporate buyout or merger is a travesty, and even when our government pretends to do something about it they never actually do anything about it.

---

Well, like I said, government is controlled by big business. It no longer looks after the welfare of the nation and its people as a whole, but caters to the uber-wealthy. Some people call it corruption. Some people call it an oligarchy. Some people call it fascism. Whatever it is, it's no longer "of the people, by the people, and for the people".

Just as an aside, people look to FDR as a savior of 'the people'. In reality he was saving CAPITALISM from itself. Capitalism, and its extension into money called financialism, had reahced the endpoint that all Ponzi schemes eventually reach: collapse. There was a a significant socialist movement brewing, and revolt was in the air. FDR stepped in to stablize the system (he was a strikebreaker BTW) and splash just enough money around to keep desperate people from a final act of desperation. And whatever "ism" that we've had since then has been one scheme or another to keep "redundant" workers/ idle hands from revolting, whether it's bread (welfare, EIC etc) or circuses (TV, social media, drugs) or endless propagnda or "divide and conquer" (identity politics, the latest "crisis" or faux-outrage).

How it has helped them get ahead and been a get out of jail free card others don't possess. This is a truth the White working class can understand and accept. I have yet to see the democratic party has figured this out.

We need to stop poking White people to garner favoritism from minorities. It only builds a wall between hard working minorities and hard working White people who need each other.
