      They feel they’ve lost the “culture war” because Nike is pro BLM and Target has rainbows. There’s no real analysis for this, it’s all vibes. The “facts over feelings” crowd, folks.

      I am honestly confused by what these people want.

      Slave labour. They already have concentration camps at the border, they want the cheapest labor they can get. They want to run the laborers as efficient as a dairy farm.

      From 1948 onward, the American right has attributed all politics that don’t go their way as communist. In their circles the New Deal, Desegregation, environmental regulation have been only seen as evil and communist. Propaganda points being preached for 75 years has an effect on people.

      After 75 years of slave state rule, plantation owners seriously believed that slavery was good, and that slaves would work the land out of joy, and that Europe cared so much about a single cash crop that no one could challenge their slave empire if the seceded. They seriously believed secession was smarter than just continually utilizing the constitution that was written in their favor.

      When people are talking crazy for their entire lifetime we ought to believe em.

      The Heritage Foundation doesn’t exist to promote corporate interests. They exist because Ivy League educated fancy boys needed a fake job to tell Coors it’s ok to fire gay people. The entire thing was set up as a fake jobs program for the kids of wealthy DC residents and now 50 years later the Heritage Foundation is drunk on their own Kool aid. They think they have real jobs now

      For much of human history you’ve had lords with almost all the wealth and a laboring class who exist roughly 3-6 months away from starvation.

      Class struggle is an ongoing process. There is no ceiling for greed and no floor for the conditions of the working class.

      The US is immensely profitable for the bourgeoisie, but there are still “difficulties” like OSHA, FMLA, anti-trust laws, etc which deviate from a perfectly exploitable society.
