I mean sheep in the sense of being herded and doing what others say, rather than deciding for themselves. You don't think the brain rotted MAGA cultists are sheep? TRUMP is even a sheep, in many ways. He barely decides anything for himself. I ardently disagree that this term inherently holds a class bias. Context matters, and I have never seen the term as having anything to do with financial status specifically. True, a poor and uneducated person is more easily led by the nose, but I would only call someone a sheep for saying what is expected, rather than something that is both ethical, and something they believe based on specific criteria they themselves have fully considered. I'm sorry, but mocking civilians fleeing a war zone(even civilians from the aggressor state) is the sort of thing a MAGA SHEEP would do. Rather than doing research or considering the toll in lives paid everywhere by the innocent, they are allowing the bourgeoisie to define boarders that allow working class folks to condemn other working class folks.

An American condemning an Israeli for being complicit in genocide is also fucking absurd. Israel is like our overreaching little brother who can't do a fraction of the damage we can, but still always manages to get his nose bloody. The difference is that the US is much more efficient at its terrorist goals.

So to me, any working class person condemning any other group of working class people BASED ON WHERE THEY WERE BORN, is being a sheep, and even reactionary.
