Those ARE the only working class folks, all others are just larping.
The most honest thing leftists ever did was in Disco Elysium, where they asked the question: "Are Women Bourgeoisie?"; but like any leftist confronted with truth (even their own) they immediately ran from it.
The answer is "yes".
The working class is everyone who has to labor for their income instead of living off the income they generate through their ownership of capital.
A womb is a kind of capital. It is, in the most literal sense, the means of production.
i still think the most insane post i've seen from this guy is this, when he came onto a legitimate politics-ish post talking completely unironically about how astrology doesn't work ANY MORE, because
which, if you're into obscure doctor who novels from the 90s, you might recognise as the thing that made time lords infertile and gave their godking power over reality. he casually refers to pre-time lord gallifreyan witches as real historical figures. he claimed this makes sense because he is a modal realist, and did not back down
he then spent the next few days going around doctor who extended universe tumblr asking people to ask people to unblock him. this is what convinced me he is legit unreachable. no one trolls like this for this long without ever actually having any fun

He's maybe the purest fascist I have ever been aware of, like the most fully committed to fascism. He believes the things he says despite knowing they are literally untrue, and it just... Doesn't matter to him. His convictions are totally unrelated to reality. That's generally true of fascists and to a lesser degree liberals (and tbf I would bet all of us on the political left also believe some untrue things but I am not aware of what those things are because by definition they are things I am wrong about). The big difference with fascists is that they don't actually care whether the things they believe are true - the conviction is virtuous in itself, while liberals and people on the left generally, I think, see virtue in the correspondence of their beliefs with reality, rather than the simple fact that they believe a thing. But even fascists are not, I think, usually quite so openly divorced from reality.
In any case I wish him a very run-over-slowly-by-a-steamroller day.
if we're being generous, he's a case of self-flanderization, like a weird kid doing the naruto run, inviting the ridicule because any attention is better than no attention, playing the fool online is certainly not the strangest thing to a forum full of shitposters
on the other hand he's also a pervert of the highest order, so he might be deriving a form of sexual satisfaction from making others cringe. by arranging the words on your screen into the most heinous and baffling combinations, he has ascended from a mere online provocateur to something like a psycho-sexual vampire, boring into your brain and taking up residence to do his dark business. he has already won. we are all cybersmith now. he sprouts unwanted into my mind-scape at times like a particularly bad case of fungal infection.
I've been struggling to put that particular feature of fascists into words. While they may believe in a factual reality, they simultaneously believe in a reality of ideals that is purer and superior to base level reality. It's why they can make up things about genetics or anthropology to justify their nonsense racism, because the scientific understanding is secondary. The fascist conviction is more important and truer. It's one of the reasons liberals have a difficult time talking to fascists (No one should converse with a fascist btw). Because liberals believe politics is downstream from information, which is downstream from unfiltered information. Liberals believe that if fascists are simply shown to be factually incorrect, the entire ideology will crumble.
Except fascists don't care about being factually correct, because to them facts come from a higher mindscape form of reality that fuels convictions down here in the dirty, less true world made of atoms and electricity. Some fascists are more self-aware than others I guess, for instance I think media people like Ben Shapiro are fully aware that this is what they peddle. They only seek to mystify and present the case for their ideal fabricated reality, while simultaneously knowing that it's false and doesn't conform to reality itself. But that part doesn't matter because for fascists who gain some degree of authority, the presentation of the fabricated reality is directly tied to the power and money they have.
