But they don't care, because they'll get bailed out again. That's class consciousness with a vengeance.

Es exactamente con este propósito que las normas concretas del catecismo burgués se ocultan bajo abstracciones morales... La apelación a normas abstractas no es un error filosófico desinteresado, sino un elemento necesario en la mecánica del engaño de clase.
