"BECAUSE ALL OF THESE COMMUNISTS ARE RUNNING THE BIG BUSINESSES" -an actual thing I've heard a man say in the Midwest.
I'm under the impression these people play politics like sports and it's more about their 'team' winning and any actual ideology plays second fiddle.
Is one I've seen.
I tried my damnedest to explain to Nebraskans that the whole bud light controversy was hollow capitalist marketing but they're still convinced that the beer people are pedophiles now.
The people of beer, you mean
Blackrock? Jfc they are like Uber capitalists.
Is 'corporate communism' still a used phrase?
See, cuz, its communist because they control everything and the people at the top get all the money, and they use the money to influence society by paying off politicians!
Oh, like a mega church?
cue angry noises
Communism is when the ~~government~~ corporation takes both your cows and pays you some milk.
It’s definitely all about attitude. Republicans have systematically worked to demonize and defund education. Nobody cares to be actually correct, or to find real truth.
They just want to listen to their own echos. They want to be pet and pat on the head and reassured for every hateful, lazy thought they’ve ever had
They get into the work force, (factory, farm, other blue collar jobs that are being exploited by corps) where they all complain about how stressful and seemingly fruitless their day-to-day lives are, and blame whatever the nearest and easiest target is.
Literal witch hunts. All the while getting bent over by the actual enemies - the cheats, the hateful, the liars, the lazy, the greedy, etc.
I mean ffs practically every religion out there points this shit out as bad, and yet everyone willingly sucks these types of awful people off, despite the fact. It’s mind numbing
edit: Fixed some shitty, aggro wording against my fellow working class people. that was shitty.
Please don't equate a lack of formal education with this shit, in fact they probably did quite well in high school since it's more about conformity than education anyway.
I think you're right, this was more of an insult than it was stating facts, which isn't fair and just clouds my message - something I continue to struggle with. Thanks for keeping me honest, I'll make an edit shortly here
