      “Well you see, it’s based on this simple philosophy, fuck the poor.”

        I never understand why so many people who are measurably disadvantaged by their platform will vote for it. Oh right, it’s because drag queens are the real enemy.

          If the working class is too busy fighting amongst themselves, the rich can continue profiteering by looting everything.

          From Immortal Technique’s Poverty of Philosophy.

          Many of us are in the same boat and it’s sinking, while these bougie motherfuckers ride on a luxury liner, and as long as we keep fighting over kicking people out of the little boat we’re all in, we’re gonna miss an opportunity to gain a better standard of living as a whole

          The hate and the fear of violence that many non-White communities or those the LGBT community or any other marginalized is genuine. We need to protect those in targeted communities while trying to get people to understand that the only real enemy, is the rich.

          To paraphrase Beau of the Fifth Column, you have more in common with the average Chinese or Saudi or Russian or South African or Peruvian then you do with the rich in your own country.
