Im working class, and have worked a lot of industrial construction jobs most people are too scared to do.
My coworkers are invariably all subhuman bigoted orcs that are literally dumber than the "people" from the movie Idiocracy.
After arguing with 3 coworkers who all believed that trans people shit in litterboxes i think that i have decided that the working class isnt worth anything. They all just hate all my friends anyway. Id rather have a society of gay landlords oppressing these subhumans.
I cursed them out, which does nothing but get me in trouble. They reported me to HR for harassing them. I hate the working class. I hate straight people.
Do i want to feel this way? No - ive dedicated a lot of my life to socialist organizing. Im a massive hypocrite. I hate myself, dont worry.

My entire world is. I work 10-16 hour days in a coal mine most days. I hate all of them. They hate me too. Theyre friendly usually but desperately want my permission to hate trans people because im gay. Every interaction with them brings up how gay i am and im just so tired.

I'm not part of lemmygrad community so I hope my comments is allowed to stay here but generally it's important to understand that people, especially less fortunate ones, are heavily influenced by their environment.
One of major goals of socialist philosophy is to pull people up. So, I'd suggest to meditate on that and rid yourself of this ego and try out a different perspective of chosing your battles and goals consciously.

You don't hate them. You hate the system that educated them to think like that.
Our only way out is to study more, to be better prepared when these conversations happen, and to continue organising where possible.
But also remembering that most people won't be reasoned out of ignorance. It's through emotion, commitment and trust from people that understand themselves as equals that they listen. Right now, you feel enlightened and superior to them. This is not the way.
Also, I may be wrong. Happy for comrades to argue against me.
