And every time I bring up wealth inequality and try to point out the ultra rich are the real enemy, people just dismiss and ignore me. The lives of every single marginalized person would be unequivocally improved with additional wealth, but I can’t for the life of me get a leftie to understand that. Instead bathroom policies and diversity quotas are apparently the priority.

Is it an US thing? Since that is not the case in Germany for example.

You’re aware of the systemic inequality and want to address that first, which is admirable.

The best you can do for now is to prep for the next fight by getting your colleagues on the same page that they are being just as exploited by the system.
