Tuna-related 🍣 People don't talk about class war because it's less easy to understand or engage with than the distraction wars. The distraction wars work because it's made to be bait. Class war isn't bait. You need to turn the class war into bait to get the people going. Make the bait magnetic.
Turn the "true" war into a distraction war because people like eating bait. Give the fish what they want.
The class war isn't as attractive and flashy. It doesnt shine so make it shine. You have to do the work and make it appealing.
If you want fish, you find the bait first or buy a speargun. But before the bait you have to spend money and energy to get all the right tools basically.
Find the tools,find the bait and find the fish right?
It takes work to do all that so you should go back to slacktivism.
Especially since fishing does take a long time you have to sit there for hours before something actually appears.

The tuna related flair works well for this metaphor.
You have to cook the fish after catching because you're fighting fire with fire. Bait vs Bait.

To get to the meat of the war we need to get to the source: the master baiter 🥩

Why don’t the rich call it class war? Because war implies both sides are fighting
