Hot take as a biologist with clinical research experience: Blinding is overrated. Especially when it comes to mental health.
Do you feel better? Yes? Great, it worked, who cares if it was blind.
It’s about 11¢ per piece, which is on the cheaper end of Star Wars sets, it’s just very large, literally the biggest they’ve ever made
A draft is still expensive
Tbf, I do have different reactions to rich and poor people being super racist.
Rich people? Yeah no shit, that’s how you got here. It’s not acceptable but it’s understandable. My enemies ontologically evil.
Poor people? You’re a class traitor. You should know better. You’re not even benefiting from this arrangement but you hate minorities so much you’re willing to do volunteer work about it.
“White trash” has like 95% overlap with fash though.
White trash is a couple who smoke inside their trailer and beat their kids before driving to work in their $80k lifted pickup with a confederate flag decal
In fact the more I think about it, flying the confederate flag is probably the strongest “white trash” signifier there is, an explicitly fascist symbol.
It may as well just mean “Non-rich fascist”
Also lived in many trailer parks and I agree with you. Poor shaming is definitely a (large) part of the term white trash but it’s not the only factor.
There are “cultural” factors as well, things like smoking cigarettes indoors, beating your kids, not getting your dogs neutered, hoarding, and willingness to call people the N word
It’s not purely a class distinction and I know that because 90% of the time I’ve heard that term used it’s an intra-class conflict, this is the person with the trailer they keep nice and clean with a lovely garden out front calling their neighbor white trash for letting their (unneutered) dog trample their flowers. Thats a real world example.
It’s not just living in a trailer, plenty of nice normal poor people live in trailers. It’s smoking cigarettes (or meth) inside that trailer and flying a confederate flag out front. And likely having a giant pickup truck that costs more than the trailer.
Literally never heard doorbell ditch, its ding dong ditch
Yeah I’m pretty sure when I was 9 and heard of Blackwater for the first time it was in the context of “The evil mercenary company”
I hope he’s prepared to deploy the Illinois NG as well as state and local cops to combat them (

So they’re also awful but in different ways
