Because they don't give a fuck about the WORKING poor. They HATE the very support people they'd die without. The cooks and the cleaners, the gofers and the mules, the factory and construction workers, the people who actually produce USEFUL things with their hands, and bring sustenance to their ugly uppity faces.
The people they LOVE are the wilfully poor, the needle freaks, the psychotics, the literal walking pieces of shit that just literally doesn't care. The ones who want to be parasites, the ones who tattoo "Fuck the world" on themselves. The ones who go OUT OF THEIR WAY to look like freaks and BECOME UNHIREABLE. Oh, and the ones who are too genetically broken to be smart enough to be useful.
THAT is why the system has no hand-ups, and only hand-outs.
Well, yeah. One is clearly fully manipulated into the system dogma, or otherwise without personal awareness, and the other is willing and capable to work at improving their lot in life and thinking for their own best interests. If you sincerely considered yourself akin to an "upper, ruling class" in need of keeping an underclass of serfs with as minimal effort as possible, which one would you prefer to keep comfortably controlled vs hate with a blind passion?
His pathetic sheep stans still claim that was deep. I swear to god, I don't blame artists for going nihilistic when they can do any disgusting shit and the semi literate fauxtellectual class will eat it up.
That's the funny thing about King. Somehow literary circles tricked themselves into pretending that King is a literary writer that writes deep social commentary instead of what he actually is, a genre writer that got insanely popular.
Now, I'm not saying that King is a bad writer. He is(really was) very good at what he does within his genre, he's just not a literary writer.
However, he is long past his prime of being relevant and his writing has not been good in decades. Honestly, once he became sober he lost the ability to be a good storyteller, but luckily for him he still had hordes of fans and a name to live off that kept his books selling.
I've read a few of his books, and honestly I'm not convinced he's a great writer. Seems kinda like he's got a few tricks he just re-skins for his next book, with a lot of super boringly detailed paragraphs thrown in to help.
It's all just signaling. They don't give a shit about who works and who makes money, so long as they're either on the same side or willing to part with the money.
How many American commies claim to support the "working class" but balk at the thought of letting the primarily white, christian, right wing working class of America have opinions? Pretty much all of them, I'd wager.
When they say poor, the mean black and rarely single moms. That's it. Their words are meaningless.
Because they hate real working class. Real working class care about the state of the economy, jobs being lost, or prices going too high that the average american can't afford them anymore.
They exclusively cater to the poor that don't work, live in public housing, get welfare or disability for some vague disability that no one is really sure of. Those people don't care about jobs because they don't work, they don't care about prices because if they can't afford it with with their checks they put it on a credit card that they're never going to pay more than 1 payment on.
The very fact that he thought it was a funny joke tells you all you need to know. "Have fun being a cocktail waitress (we all know THEY suck, ammirite??) lol.
That's different from making a topical joke about blacks or asians, where the joke is meant to be over the top hyperbole, here though we have King laughing at the prospect of someone falling from grace, and defining that fall as someone in the working class.

Psychotic pedo cokehead just likes his own kind.

Maybe King should stick to what he knows, like writing fapfics about a bunch of 12 year olds having an orgy in a sewer.

His shorter books are much better than his longer ones.

Obligatory Stonetoss
To be fair, he did apologize: https://web.archive.org/web/20210120101151/https://twitter.com/StephenKing/status/1351725822567215104
But am I wrong in thinking this isn't the 1st time he's done something like this, or am I confusing him with another min wage hating elite?
All that's fair to say about that is he's a pussy who won't stand by his insults when any danger of blowback becomes apparent after the fact.
He's just sorry he got flak

I've been buying his shit second hand anyways since i'm cheap, but now i can feel good about it.
The same is true of gays. You know what a leftist thinks of homosexuals when he uses it as an insult.
