They believe that government exists to protect their wealth from outside threats (via the military) and inside threats (via the police), and that's all. They don't need help in other ways. They've been successful propagandists over the years, not expressing their ideals directly.

People destroying property are bad to them because it could happen to them someday.

People not showing blind allegiance to this country are bad because it could "spread" and then we might not have enough people willing to die over their military conflicts.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
