True story.

For those interested I recommend Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. An amazing breakdown of the history and why. Eye opener at the very least.

Edit: Curious: Why the down votes?

That's just a good thing to remember in general: no matter how good of a relationship you have with someone, whether it be a coworker or a friend, at the end of the day, most of them will put their own interest over yours.

Some of them won't, but they are rare.

If you want people to put you first, you just need to make it so that having you in their life makes their life better.

Be a better friend, coworker, team member, etc.

And stand up for yourself, so that people don't try to take advantage of you.

Know your worth and demand it from people.

A reasonable opinion on twitter? Is this from 10 years ago?

Can anybody link me to educational resources on class analysis?

Especially those pertaining to the United Kingdom, such as the big northern working class cities like Manchester.
