Socialist policy is extremely popular. Socialist terminology is extremely unpopular. I'm fine with "Epstein class". Don't let your words deafen the proletariat to your message.

The terminology has been demonized so much by the opposition that it needs to be updated. What better way than to use terms the average person can relate to.
Meet people where they are.
You can't make me speak French.
~~Touche!~~Touché!
Excusez-moi but "Touche!" would be a direct order to touch you or to touch something specific, which is rather uncouth and possibly quite indecent.
I believe you meant "Touché !", with an accent on the é and a space before the exclamation mark, which then would correctly mean "oh mon dieu, you got me".
Amateurisme ! Sacrebleu, englishoids are such uncultured swine…
I can't write accents on my keyboard and couldn't be bothered to switch.
Appelle-moi englishoids encore un fois! J'ai appris francais about 20 years ago je lais toi saivre. /blague
Space before the exclamation mark? I've never heard of that being a thing?
in swedish it's "borgare", i propose we call them "burgers" in english.
je suis monte!
I'm allowed to say it, I'm 1/8th bourgeoisie.
!holup
With a hard r?
It's a rhetorical tactic to draw attention to the juxtaposition between the lives of poor people who don't know French words and the rich they all but worship, can people stop denigrating it as a term? It goddamn works in an argument. You can tell someone their worldview was given to them by the Epstein class. You can tell people Steve Banon and Jeff Epstein, members of the Epstein class, conspired to psyop them toward being antifeminist. You can say the Epstein class directly controls the White House because there are literal video evidence of the AG facing away from rape victims as she covers for the rapists by seguing to the supposed health of the economy.
Seriously, this is the most "you're not being left the right way" post I've seen in awhile.
~~I like how you uncritically copied Hamid's title that implies that people who use the term "Epstein class" are Holocaust deniers 
~~ Title changed, all good 
Huh well TIL. I thought it was weird. Why do right-wing fucks need so many damn symbols
All good. Thanks for changing it 😃
Hamid thinks being anti-capitalist is somehow antisemitic? Fucking weird. That tracks for that guy.
"overly rich people without morals" thats who guillotines where invented for
proles are 
Snatching irrelevance from the jaws of salience? Bold choice
