Wait until they start arresting media figures.

Boomers: "Why can't I get my medicine no more? DAMN DEMOCRAT PARTY!"

It's called false consciousness. The workers are socialized through media, religion, and other social institutions, to identify with and support the ruling class. You see this in the way they adore Elmo Skum. I've known IT workers who bragged about the fancy car they basically bought for their manager.

Yes, it's a Marxist perspective. But Marx wasn't wrong.

"Swing Voter" == "Too Embarrassed To Admit Being A Republican"

Of course, this is going to affect the working class first and worst. But stay with me here.

My wife and I are what you'd call upper middle class. Thanks to our college education, union jobs in public agencies, and mostly being smart with money, our assets are not meager.

Are you like me? Don't think you're exempt. They're coming for our assets too. They want all of us living paycheck to paycheck, begging our employers to not fire us.

What I'm saying is, the class struggle is everyone's struggle. If you're not a billionaire, you're at risk. Act like it.

A two hour commute in an electric car is still two hours in crushing, soul destroying traffic. People ask me why I take a train and a freeway bus for my two days on campus, and I ask them why not? My drive is three minutes from my house to the train.

But in suburban Southern California, public transit is "for freaks and losers." That was deliberate marketing.

Google "false consciousness." Your answers begin there.

Hint: It's the same principle that has American workers competing with each other to work the most unpaid overtime, to send the boss on a nice trip to Tahiti.

Instead, how about we pass a law that guarantees a living wage, so that workers don't have to depend on tips?

Silly me. That would be COMMUNISM.

Unlimited mandatory treatment, in South Sudan.

Funny, that. Stalin's regime said the same thing. A lot of dissenters were labeled "mentally ill," and tortured in mental hospitals.

"It Can't Happen In America?" Wake the fuck up..it is happening.

But but but Both Sides Are Exactly The Same!

Guess I'd better Be Clean, Vote Green.
