@tao I've already read a series of caricatures online, so I'm good to go
Am I working class? Is this person middle class etc? These questions aren't particularly good, class analysis is not like a horoscope where you have an identity. It's a macro view.

You have to really want to be rational in this day and age.
You've gotta EARN it!
@fediversespace is there an "edgy" dimension planned for in the future? I'm looking for an instance with some medium sickos to hang out with online. 2011 Tumblr vibe
