9. Two time losers have old orders: continue false dichotomy between working class Whites and minority.

We must do everything in our power to keep minorities who are fucked over by the system from joining forces with working class and/or rural White men who are also fucked over by the system. Even though there is no inherent conflict between the two, we must convince them there is.

We must do everything we can to convince rural and/or working class White men that it is minorities "taking their jobs" and wanting "free stuff" -- and not rich old White men refusing to pay their fair share of maintaining a society that primarily ensures their prosperity over everyone else -- that is the reason they, and those "bad" minorities "taking their jobs" and "free stuff", have been falling behind for the last 30 years.

We must protect our rich, old White masters as much as we possibily can. Because anything else would make us a bunch of sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophopic, bigots.




Gods what a fucked up year this was. It is snowing in Cairo, Egypt. The Donald was elected President. Supporting rich, old White men is now the definition of "liberal, progressive". And Cubs won the World Series.

Okay, one out of four was awesomely cool.
