Facts. But the other side of that is the massively unequal tax burden. Tax corporations and wealthy proportionally to their reported net worth and use that to fund substantial public services (healthcare, transportation, education, childcare) so that rising wages aren’t just funneled back into the same pockets.
You’re wrong about the founders not understanding identity politics; I recommend you read through George Washington’s farewell address. It’s is lengthy, for sure, but it explicitly warns Americans about the danger of unchecked fealty to a political party and the promulgation of a politics of identity versus national interest and unity.
The founders knew our democracy would be repeatedly tested by enemies foreign and domestic (almost like they included that in the Constitution for a reason) they simply hoped we would be educated enough to see when we’re being manipulated, and faithful enough to the country’s ideals to defend it. We’ll see if they’re right.
I hope you’re practicing rolling on your belly and wagging your tail for fascists.
What a useless, whiny attitude to have.
I have very little faith that this ship will be turned around. It’s not even the explicit invasions of privacy from facial recognition that are the most damning. Its the hordes of people willingly providing their data through social media. Our culture has embraced the erosion of privacy and autonomy with such enthusiasm it almost feels engineered. In fact, it very well might be. When we let money dictate the stories we tell and who tells them, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that culture becomes yet another tool to entrench the inequality we live in.
Oh no all caps! I’ll never recover from this
Agreed. These jobs are overwhelmingly concentratedin developing nations and pay pathetic wages, too.
Lol the West is doing that all on its own. But keep crying or whatever l.
Right but Western aid has only ever done good right? I mean, that’s why South America and Central Africa are booming with industry and lack any serious endemic diseases right? Because the West made sure they would have the same living standards and be seen as truly equal competitors , right?..right?
Yeah as a brown immigrant also in the US…get over it. This was inevitable; were just speedrunning it. I know you’re hurting and want to expel that pain, but you really need to figure out how to channel it into something constructive instead of whining on the Internet.
Thanks for drawing me back in towards empathy. I totally agree with everything you’ve said.
