(3,160 posts)13. Yep, anyone getting gov't services is a "grifter" or "taker", and...
...according to their self-appointed "intellectual" gurus, "democracy is done"--which is really what this is all about.
...These assholes destroy the country with their "think" tanks, bought-and-paid-for media, "public relations", political megachurches--a million anti-democratic streams that all run together like mud--and once the destruction is nearly complete, they then brazenly declare to the little people that "democracy is done". They're the reason why!

It's called Economic Calvinism...
...[which] has always been a pernicious feature of American culture. You know: the rich are blessed, the poor are cursed, and so both deserve their station in life...The "transhumanism" being pushed by Eloon et al. is just the latest version of old wine in new bottles. Every few years, someone invents a new way to dress up the same old Calvinism, which serves to mystify it, keeping the rabble from noticing that the wonderful Tech-Bro transhumanist future will not be available to any of them.

These people have been at it for decades. And now we have the sorry spectacle of a Congressman attacking "kids sponging off the government"...because they get their breakfast and lunch at school.

Remember Mitt Romney getting caught on a hidden microphone making his snide little remark about the "47% takers"? And Romney is supposed to be one of the nice, respectable, moderate Republicans! These people need to be a lot more careful where they speak this kind of garbage. At this point, they're just asking for it.
