The rise of the hyper-focus on social justice that came out of the death throes of Occupy Wall Street was an intentional tactic sown by the rich to further delay class war. Divide and conquer.
As always, I have to include a disclaimer: I sure as hell am not "anti-SJW" or whatever. There are a lot of incredibly important injustices out in the world that need to be fixed. That said, I truly feel that financial status is the largest determinator of lifetime success and overall comfort.
So not "the only war is class war". More "the importance and scope of the financial divide, and the difference in life opportunities available to the hyper-rich vs even the upper-middle class, mean that the most important 'war' has to be the class war by sheer necessity".
