Climate, real estate, price gouging, enshittification, health care, voter suppression… There's an awful lot to distract us from.

Don't forget the big labour union wins for UPS and the Teamsters, no war but the class war baby.

Sadly the teamsters didn't win that one. Supposedly they're discovering that their union leaders sold them out and may be about to go on strike again.

Most wars are arguably class wars. The invasion of Ukraine is Russian government (bourgeoisie class) versus Ukrainian people (working class), for example.

Isn't there a lot of bad stuff happening with Hunter Biden atm as well? A distraction as ephemeral as "look over there, aliens!" Would be very well suited to cover that up.

The accusations against Hunter Biden are themselves a Republican-manufactured distraction.
