The most successful trick the elites ever pulled was making "Poor" a personality flaw instead of a systemic result. We live in a world where a guy who inherited $100M calls a teacher "lazy" because they can't afford rent. And half of you believe him.
The USA have blocked the Somali Referee Omar Artan from entering the USA, the Referee who is rated the best in Africa was blocked at entry, so he got the Somalian embassy to give him a Diplomatic Passport.
But the USA still refuses to let him in.
The USA need to be disqualified
The intense media focus on Graham Platner is understandable. He is an unknown in a crucial Senate race with a lot of baggage. Less understandable is the lack of coverage of Ken Paxton, whose sins are far worse. That it is “old news” is no excuse. Most voters have no clue.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
Holding someone accountable is not trying to destroy them. This is how Trump gets away with nearly everything. He’s always the victim, never simply facing natural consequences for his actions. And now he has an entire party and movement running cleanup for him. Disgraceful.
The lower-class American who believes it most fiercely is not foolish.
He is the most successful product of the most successful ideological project in history.
He has been given, in place of healthcare, the pride of empire.
In place of job security, the comfort of superiority.
In place of a political system that responds to his interests, the feeling that at least his country is the "most powerful," the "most important," the "main character."
He drives an hour to a job that doesn't pay him enough, without benefits, without security, through infrastructure that is visibly crumbling, past towns that have been economically hollowed out by the same trade policy his government calls an achievement,
And he waves the flag at the game on Friday night and means it.
Not because he's stupid.
Because the flag is the only thing he has been given that doesn't cost him anything to have.
The identity is free.
Everything else costs money he doesn't have.
The ruling class that gave him the flag instead of a living wage understood the transaction completely.
He was not told about it.
I don't want "free healthcare."
I want universal healthcare, paid for by MY taxes, that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupt, sick, or dead because they can't afford the
treatment.
The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires.
At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare.
Perhaps you can connect the dots.
Why is the Democratic Party more upset by a streamer who thinks killing kids is bad than they are by having senile zombies in office? Maybe they should focus on this instead?
