I was explaining my surprise, not arguing the content, but do you want me to argue against the the claim that the class struggle is the main driver behind social organization and social relationships? I think it's a well-trodden ground.
On the basic level, the Marxist approach lacks explanatory power and makes wrong predictions.
"Being surprised" is privileging your own beliefs over others.
Denying the realities of class doesn't make them go away. Your beliefs are the map, but the terrterritory includes rich people who own the brands that own your mind.
What?? Sense makes not.
Surprise is the sensation you get when you prior beliefs (even if weak) were overturned or at least contradicted by empirical evidence. How is that "privileging your own beliefs"?
Besides, I certainly privilege my own beliefs over beliefs of other people. I don't know how one can function otherwise.
No they don't. I'm quite sure that my mind isn't owned by any brands (among other things I actively dislike advertising).
You're still doing it. Surprise + shaming instead of argument.
Nope. But it seems we've gone full circle.
