    No need to fight, I think both experiences are fine. I would just maintain that what might “appear” to be people invested in progressive, workers rights type issues, perhaps might not actually commit to those actions if it meant any meaningful sacrifice or change to themselves.

    To break the parable a bit, imagine a lion that can somehow contort itself to feel like a housecat. A lot of people can touch it and say “hmm… feels like a nice little cat” - but someone who has had his arm chomped on by the lion knows there’s more beneath the surface

      Tee-hee, ya 🐱🦁,

      To the best of my recollection (and observation skills), I simply have not seen any of that kind of dog whistling, in a way, the ‘progressivism for me, not for thee’ / anti-laborer slant.
