    Why would anyone post this? Of course it didn’t just turn up out of nowhere.

    Good. Then you agree that it’s valuable to look at the reasons for inequality, I presume, and not stop at “inequality is the centre of it all”. Both material and immaterial ones. Or to put in classic Marxist terms (a bit reductive but it’s close enough): What’s the economic and cultural obstacles to class consciousness.

    That quoted phrase you have there is pure hot nonsense.

    It’s using habitual/continuative aspect. “This thing here that is habitually that way because it habitually is that way”.

      I know you think you’re the smartest person on Earth giving unthinking Americans lessons or something but you haven’t taught me a damned thing here at all except what the German word for neoliberal is.

      (But, I know, don’t dare call them that!!! 😡🤬 😤)

      😆

      Separately, even frequent users of the habitual be wouldn’t write a sentence like that.
