#63 Eric:
I join with Brother Samizdat in lauding your dissection.
Now take the next step.
They do all this for power, that is a given.
But who is it that supports them?
Have you ever heard the term “Privatize the Profits and Socialize the Losses?”.
Cultural working-class conservatives face one enemy with two faces:
The Wealthy we know…the Rockefeller/Country-Club Republican set…they represent the “Privatize the Profits” side of the coin.
The Bourgeoisie/Middle classes, who trend to Liberalism, represent the “Socialize the Losses” side of the same coin.
Accepting Liberal values is the “ticket-punching” to entry into the middle-class…this is why these values are so endemically proselytized in academia, since the upper-middle class jobs in the professions are reserved for those with post-graduate degrees. The “House Negroes” on the “Big Plantation” are hand-picked and long-vetted before they are allowed to use the servant’s entrance.
Supervisory jobs are reserved largely for the undergraduate degrees. You don’t need to be trusted as much to be an “Overseer of Field Hands”, since you aren’t going to have access to Master’s Sleeping Quarters.
The MSM would all look and sound quite different if business yanked it’s advertising from their air and their column-inches.
The point was made by steveg at #61:
“I am a strong believer that there would not be a democrat party without the mainstream media propping it up.”
Liberals are political pinata sock-puppets of the wealthy, to absorb the attentions and blows of the working classes in from the fields.
It’s worked pretty well for awhile, but the model might be failing. Us field hands are wondering why it is that “the Cunnel” always seems unable to get rid of that bad “Field Boss”.
I’d remind you to remember your Orwell:
“The War was not meant to be won, it was meant to be constant, only through the threat of annihilation can a hierarchical society be maintained”.
…and thus we get the “Inner-Party,Outer-Party, Proles” of today…guess who fits where.
