    Ritual humiliation of one another for not conforming to an expected uniform of the ruling class is good for us honestly. I want the working class and the ruling class to be visually distinct, it makes raising class consciousness considerably easier.

    Put the working class in trainers and the ruling class in the shiniest uncomfortable dress shoes you can find.

    shit like this is why i never made it far in any traditional workplace. i’ve never drank this type of kool aid - if my boss gave me shoes i would know that i’m expected to wear them but i would nevertheless throw them in the back of my closet and forget about them.

    also:

    Trump ordered the footwear after pausing a previous meeting to criticize Rubio and Vance’s “f****g shoes,” according to the vice president.

    imagine not having enough self respect to cuss somebody out when they try to call you out on stupid bullshit like this

    President Donald Trump apparently has a bizarre obsession with Michael Jackson’s favorite men’s shoe brand

    …

    Florsheim

    This is such a nice summary of Trump’s taste and America in general. A once good shoe maker made into cheap mall brand crap.

    But critical support to Trump in his war on dress sneakers

      Trump was actually kind to Rubio. Imagine if Trump made him wear shoes ~2 sizes too small.

      “Macro, how your shoes workin’ out?”

      “Fantastic, Mr. President.”

      “I know. You got a formal dinner tonight. Live music later. So - I want you wear them and dance.”

      “I will dance up a storm for you.”

      “I know you will. Shoes even better for dancing. Send dancing photos. Big smiles!”

    Spoiler: Florsheim brand shoes, which I actually own and like.

    I do like the bit about 5’8" Marco Rubio claiming to wear size 11.5 but getting caught looking sloppy. I went down a dive and found an article from 2015 where everyone made fun of his high heel boots
