In theory. In practice though, having more wealth does have an effect of which class that person will side with

In your example of the working class elderly with an expensive house, it is likely they will side with the bourgeoisie to further oppress the proles on the matters of rent/affordable property if it means retaining or increasing the value of their property

A wealthy coder for a megacorp often sides with the bourgeoisie because their access to capital affords them similar avenues of exploitation against the working class. Voting against labor laws for Uber/Doordash workers in order to keep their delivery fees down, pushing for more policing of the homeless to keep their property value up, advocating for increased surveillance of people because they're paid in company stock and the more the tech sector grows, the higher their salaries will be pushed due to supply and demand of their job

Now compare that to a petit bourgeois coder who is living paycheck to paycheck and needs to also drive Uber on the side to keep them afloat

Idealism vs materialism

They think that 1000 queer people getting killed in a proportionate amount of 10k deaths is less damaging to 100 queer people getting killed because they're specifically queer since it's only the intent behind the murders that matter. Not the actual murders themselves

Do non-Westerners usually use West Asia rather than Middle East? A trend I've noticed somewhat

Obviously very cool

Pretty sure the first amendment also protects the right to blame everything on the Chinese

I thought it was to protect Lebanon from Israel

They have their own people to take care of btw. The fact that they've already been helping for barely any personal gain is better than 99% of all states that have ever existed

I wouldn't judge you for it but if you're asking, it seems like it ruins the vibe for you just like it would for me

Like I stopped listening to Pinkerton ages ago because of the racism and incel lyrics would make it a terrible listening experience

No, Canadians don't even recognize themselves as an imperial power at all. Nobody knows of any of their past or current crimes es against humanity so they're extremely patriotic

And Americans and Canadians both respect Europe for being what they think is the peak pinnacle of human society in terms of culture and progressiveness
