But we cant ignore the people who are being attacked by the culture war bullshit theyre pushing, and they know it. The bigots are the ones who need to realize theyre being manipulated to hate their fellow workers.

The only war is class war, but it has to be fought against the working class who do the rich's bidding as well. Class traitors are as much your enemy as the 1%. My responsibility is not to stop other working class people from doing the rich's bidding. It's to protect the people they want to harm at the behest of the rich by any means necessary.
Both valid points. There are absolutely people being victimized by the culture war, and they understandably do not have the luxury of ignoring it. Likewise, those part of the 99% turning against their own must see they're only hurting themselves in the end.

It's still a problem and it's a growing problem. I'm sorry, but my view and the view of just about every Jewish person is pretty influenced by a major event where class had no meaning even if I can acknowledge the major importane of opposing the upper classes. But the Left never seems to understand why "we're all in this together, don't get distracted" isn't appealing
I totally get it. Like I said, some people get the shit end for no good reason and don't have the luxury to just ignore it. I wouldn't try to suggest otherwise.
When it comes to the people who aren't unsalvageable (No Nazis, etc), when it comes to the people who are being blinded by fear, the people who are slowly being twisted by the hate machine... we need to focus on fighting the 1% more than each other when possible.
Absolutely don't ignore culture war victims because that's a very real battle as well, but we need to eventually turn towards the ones pulling the strings.
