Artstories@HakeemG @leavex True but it was the ultra-rich who manipulated the people for decades into believing that today's version of capitalism is the best for the working class and that socialism is the boogey-man. It was the ultra-rich who made the policies to deconstruct safe-guards and education so that it became easier and easier to hog more money and power than ever before.
@art_histories @leavex White working class voters have been willing to sacrifice their own wellbeing to hurt people whom they hate. Let's call it like it is.
@HakeemG @leavex Yes, I know. But if you talk to people most people are badly informed, misinformed or not interested. Imagine being constantly "informed" by nothing else but Fox news and being surrounded by the Fox news bubble and being badly educated at the same time.
Also people are often frustrated so they lash out. It is easy to blame the whole mess solely on people but in fact it is a systemic problem as well. There is a reason why billionaires bought the whole media!

@art_histories @leavex I agree with you, but the idea that a billionaire like Bezos is more responsible than a racist working class white voter doesn't fly with me. He's a spineless coward for sure, but he's not promoting a white nationalist agenda.
Darwin Woodka@HakeemG @art_histories @leavex
Well yes, he is. Absolutely.
@HakeemG @leavex Maybe not but he is definitely profiteering from it. He supports Trump because the Trump gouvernment threw out nearly all regulations and safeguards against corporate greed. They can more or less do whatever they want if they continue to behave sycophantic and say nothing against Trumps agenda. Those kinds of spineless cowards are as bad as the right-wing crazies.
