@TruthPreserver "Anyone who opposes the American communists is at once branded a ... ‘fascist,’...,’ and becomes the object of a systematic campaign of character assassination... because the basic tactics of the Communist Party are deceit and trickery". J Edgar Hoover, 1947.
For decades the group which has suffered the worst outcomes in life has been White working class boys.
This is a product of political policies which have continued regardless of elections to this day, as @cfdownes_ points out:
Owen Jones came on Triggernometry. After being given lots of speaking time, he was asked a few probing questions and immediately turned the conversation into a gotcha style debate. This naturally resulted in him being destroyed with facts and lots of people on the internet laughing at him.
Now he is so butthurt, he spends his days posting videos no one watches about how he was right about everything. While having me and Francis blocked.
Loser energy.
@cparham65 Those loud and active hope to be the baiters, but indeed there are many who don't mind being baited - some deep slave instinct, I guess. I mean, freebies are INSULTING to human dignity, but they don't have that dignity, don't know what it is.
It feels like the West has been at war with reality for a few decades now.
So many social problems are downstream of masses of people pretending that reality isn't real.
Comforting lies take precedence over uncomfortable realities. People want to feel good, not do good.
The Soviet government viewed nostalgia for traditionalism as a threat to the communist transformation of society and actively repressed it for most of the Soviet period.
Iryna Zarutska's murder is no longer in Jail?
N.C. Democrat Gov. running for Re-Election let him out of Jail EARLY.
Do NOT let ROY COOPER be re-elected!
BEG everyone you know to VOTE against Cooper!
No nurse should have to choose between her paycheck and her own medical judgment. Mandates in health care were never about the science. They were about compliance.
"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible."

@cparham65 The secret of Communism's popularity is the neverending supply of parasitic Politburo-and-the-Gang wannabes. Their moronic "ideology" is a magnet for attracting more and more parasitic "the-world-owes-us-a-living" wannabies. But then again, it brings them all out.
A 29-year-old woman was killed this week by a homeless Somalian in the Netherlands. She texted her family: 'Help me. Now. He is killing me', so the family contacted the police. The police decided that it wasn't urgent and waited 24 hours to investigate. She was found in a suitcase over ten days later and it took 2 weeks to arrest the man she was last seen with, of whom the police refused to release footage.
Meanwhile, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service is using police manpower to investigate and prosecute a gossip-vlogger for calling women fat, 'because verbal aggression contributes to a culture of violence against women'. My boyfriend is being prosecuted for privately e-mailing nude portraits to a bimbo-artist who poses nude publicly for her art regularly.
Obviously, something has gone completely wrong. What are the police for? How can you really stop violence against women? How should you really divide your energy and resources to protect people's lives?
