  1. The tourist trade in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, can be viewed through a highly critical lens as an economy fundamentally built on "tragedy tourism" or "dark tourism." At its core, the city’s primary claim to fame relies on marketing a catastrophic, man-made disaster born directly from Gilded Age class inequality. 1995. #johnstown #johnstownpennsylvania #johynstownpa #tragedy #humanmadetragedy #gildedageclassinequality #classinequality #classwar #classwars #eattherich #tragedytourism #tragedy

  6. @elshara @SunSentinel
    They elevate the over-paid, over-hyped "Sport Class", who now sell us unnecessary plastic objects and junk food

  7. It has been a long while since I’ve read #NyadolNyuon. In her latest article she proposes a simple argument: ‘In a single statement, misogyny, racism and class contempt are revealed not as three separate prejudices but as the same project, each one holding the others up.’ And then proceeds to elaborate and back it up. There is much food for introspection and thoughtful deliberation in what she has to say. It is a well structured piece and well worth the read:

    ‘I can hardly understand him!’
    ‘Shows it’s high class, Nobby. It wouldn’t be much good if people like you could understand him, right?'”

  20. " 'Why, Gytha Ogg,' said Granny, 'I thought you despised riches!'
    'Right, so I'd like to get the chance to despise them up close.',

  22. “There is the viewpoint that if you have come from the #workingClass you have come from nothing, whereas the middle and upper classes are something, and I don’t hold with that opinion. I think the working class is something. It is everything. They are the builders of society, and without them the whole house falls down.” - Billy Connolly
