You still haven’t addressed the parasitic nature of class that doesn’t exist for any of these “identity-based” oppressions. There’s no race that requires another race to exist.

But what YOU call "class" is an extremely weaksauce definition of "class" (which is why the new breed of academics went looking for new words like "power structure" and "marginalization") There is so much more to it than what is written down on pieces of paper

This is why I hate the Marxist cultural thing of pitting "idealism" against "materialism" so much It's really just a preference for an institutional, "rationalized" lens (Weber's terminology) for measuring the world, but it's not "material"

this barely touches my favourite thing to get mad about in online discourse: people saying "X" but meaning "Y kind of X" because as you say, all those map to "class" in a pure meaning of "class" but money maps to "economic class" and i'm pretty that's what many people mean

but then character limits etc, no one wants to do rigorous philosophy or analysis of any kind on twitter, we don't have the space etc
