In reply to the discussion: I was shocked and may have been a bit rude [View all]TigressDem
(5,126 posts)68. Hatred is NOT a family value worth passing on to your children. (Universal You, not personal)
Blaming OTHERS instead of doing something about your own life and helping others if you can is simply the lazy way to avoid having to feel bad when your life is shit because you don't have any desire to do the work to make it better.
Oligarchs need the rest of US to be distracted while they rob the country blind.
BECAUSE IF THE 99% WORK TOGETHER, they are screwed. WE ARE THE MAJORITY, the filthy rich are the minority. They only have control because the rest of US are so busy trying to make ends meet and/or fighting with each other over stupid stuff OR protesting actual insanity at large that we aren't looking at their little parlor tricks.
These next two elections will decide if Democracy lives or dies. 2022 and 2024.

I did not say it is a "valid" reason. There is NO valid reason to hate an entire people.

No, you are not being hardheaded or rude. Not paying enough attention may be correct.
