Asking this here instead of asklemmy because its a political question
Recently I find Hayao Miyazaki as an influential person who has shaped my progressive / left leaning views and I want to what influential thing or person helped shaped or start your progressive / left leaning views.
See, that kind of thing never quite took hold in my country until Facebook became the dominant social media. Even when the center-left betrayed the working class in a major way in the early 00s, I didn’t get the impression that there was a big shift to the right. Even now, I think that rightwing working class members mostly just ignore how openly pro-billionaire our rightwing parties are and blame all their issues on working class foreigners, LGBT+, environmental regulations etc.
So… same as America. Except Democrats betrayed working class Americans earlier than the 00’s.
That’s completely different from what you described in your previous comment, i.e. a working class member who is explicitly pro-billionaire.
Got you. Yes, you are right there is a subtle difference there I had failed to parse. Sorry.
