In reply to the discussion: Is there a cabal of Plutocrats trying to decimate the working class? Yup. [View all]Zalatix
(8,994 posts)What's happening is social Darwinism, and the history of social Darwinism, which far pre-dates Malthusian theory or Charles Darwin (who did not even coin the term), is one of the ugliest parts of human history.
Peasant massacres have happened all throughout history. This time it's not being done with guns or direct action, but rather negligence.
The 99% isn't being killed because the Plutocrats came to their doors with guns. They're being killed because of a repeated pattern of unsafe workplaces, cuts to the social safety net, and the removal of jobs from this country.
This pattern has repeated itself time and time again in just the last 30 years of American society. At some point it goes past the point of negligence and into malicious intent, just as Poll_Blind said upthread.
Oh, I'm sorry, Cali, did you say something?
You can count on me doing this forever.
