Absolutely insane that America has been taught to demand all the worst parts of certain communist ideology without any possible benefit under the guise of protectionism just so a bunch of white me can don't have to confront the fact they have no personality or empathy and money doesn't fill that hole

    demand all the worst parts of certain communist ideology

    Public health care, education, and modern mass transit?

    just so a bunch of white me can don’t have to confront the fact they have no personality or empathy and money doesn’t fill that hole

    Goes a bit deeper. This isn't simply ego driven, it's a historically manifest class conflict dating back centuries.

    It isn't limited to "White men", either. You'll find the class conflict echoing from El Salvador to the Philippines to Indian to Israel.

    wordt parts of certain communist ideology

    Oh no, I was talking about the "silent majority" wanting a leader who sells simple answers to complex problems, a national identity on the basis of a previous "great era" and bloodline as well as millions dying in famine

    And I know leaders like Pol Pot and Mao haven't been trying to save white men. It just seems in America's case, that the main demographic that the right wing is chasing is a bunch of white men who love acting as victims in terms of having no spouse, job or hobbies.
