This best part of that quote, is that it’s the conservatives and the right-wing that are the weak men.

Weakness in that context is not about being physically strong or working hard. Its weakness that has allowed the owner class to siphon money from the workers for decades. That’s the weakness.

The blue color men from several generations ago were strong. They put in place worker protections, they gave us the minimum wage, they made it so single income could support a family. They fought, and sometimes died, for the worker.

And this made soft little boomer and younger conservative babies, who in their softness thought that they were special and hard-working, and that collective action wasn’t needed. They allowed Union protections to be stripped away because they, in their individualism, thought they didn’t need it.

And now we’ve realized that we need to be strong again, and fight again, to make up for what those weak ass babies lost us.

And we’re bitter about it.
