Are these bazinga nazis doing things that much better in the present, or are they seeking to “coup whoever they want, deal with it” as usual? three-heads-thinking

    And there are a fuck load of young men being left behind right now, and whether or not it’s true, a lot of them hear the world telling them it’s their own fault for not succeeding. That doesn’t lead anywhere good.

    You’re right, but victim blaming is something straight out of Cap 101’s Bible. Pro-cap prop has been cooing at us Mayo Men that all those complaints we’ve been hearing from PoC is just that, sour grapes. That our accomplishments and place in the social strata are our own doing. That privelege didn’t get very far man, so it’s a hard sell for struggling folks to hear how good they have it.

    We have been somewhat comfortable in our place at the top of the bottom. Now that the snake’s bite has reached us we are finally feeling a bit of what our brown brothers have been talking about. I’ve spoken to a few of my cracker buddies very bitter at being called ‘priveleged’ when they are struggling. Privelege means something different to them, they don’t get that it just means not having institutional racism directed towards them. They don’t understand the concept.

    I think it’s not that weird that they are feeling left behind, they’re just new to this particular feature of capitalism, becoming the bugaboo the bougies use to turn us all against each other and redirecting blame away from their needing to be eaten, right away
