The thing that has always annoyed me about twitter is everyones always trying to be witty and smart, but in a serious way, but also trying to explain and invent explanations for things things that have been established for over a century, trying to reinvent the wheel
obviously there are exceptions but this nothing burger of a tweet rubbed me the wrong way, the purpose of the state is to prevent the outbreak of class war, things are as intended, our enemies are not absent mindedly floating through their day. nothing is topsy turvy, wiggly whamy, or whatever trevor
Sorry this person has an insane amount of of followers and their linking to the UN charter of human rights in their bio, like what the fuck is going on?

The tweet is saying the same thing you are with a different framing.
From most people's perspectives, things are not working as intended. A working class person might be inclined to say things are upside down or they live in a backwards world (I've heard this a lot).
A hundred people lose their jobs while their CEO gets a bonus, ten thousand people lose their homes while the banks get bailed out, ten million people starve while the world produces an overabundance of food. No normal empathetic person would call this rational.
The tweet effectively explains that while the world is irrational from any reasonable perspective, it's not chaotic or unorganized, it's this way for a reason, and that reason is to protect the institution of private property. This logic, this subjective valuation of property above all else, makes sense only from the perspective of the bourgeoisie, a minute fraction of people.
The state suppressing class war is one of many ways bourgeois subjectivity gets reproduced and enforced at the expense of working class subjectivity (a subjectivity so broad compared to the statistically miniscule bourgeoisie that it arguably verges on objective truth).
