I do favor a counter-culture approach more than class politics at this point though, yes

They're not, that is not what is meant by working class and you know it.

What Bat said to this. I don't claim to know what it's like, but that's not even relevant. I'm criticising the motives behind his views, not his life, and no one 'earns' the right to be exempt from that criticism by having a gritty job. If you refuse to see beyond rich vs poor and don't allow criticism of anyone in the poor camp we can't move forward, just like we can't move forward if you distance yourself from the working class
