The Elites are Ripping You Off vs. They're Looking Down on You
How do you Fix this? PMCs to the Rescue! It's all in the Messaging.
"Build Rhetorical Bridges (Climate Change/ Abortion/ Guns) from the Elite values to the Blue Collar Values"...
...cuz the Underlying Elite (Blue Collar Income Destroying) Luxury Values and Policies are Fine... it's merely a "Messaging" problem... @@
Gee, they still kinda sound like they're looking down on me. :(

Did you watch the video? All I did was paraphrase.
Rashida Tlaib, a sitting Congresswoman representing Michigan’s 12th Congressional District which covers Detroit, Dearborn, Southfield, and surrounding communities speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit, Michigan, stands on American soil, While she enjoys the nation’s freedoms and prosperity, even as she tears into the very country that made her success possible. She still hates this country, and Jews.
Do you still remember what these people did on October 7, 2023? The Killing, the Raps, the murdering of Babies, and the taking over 200 Hostages that they have starved to death, murdered over half of them!
Thses people thought they could kill us, rape us, imprison us, violently uproot us from our American Way of Life take awy our farms, starve our children to death, and we would just disappear. Well, guess what? Now we’re in Congress, and we’re every corner of the United States. Y’all, they just don’t get it.
They just don’t get it. They will never EVER truly comprehend, even after seven decades, that we aren’t going anywhere. We are just getting started. We Americans just don’t go away! We Fight for what is ours, and we Win!
Every genocide enabler, look at this! Listen to me you Rag-Heads. We ain’t going anywhere. Just growing and growing and growing.
Our forefathers have shown us how to fight for civil rights and justice and against oppression. As an American, and a New Yorker I have been taught that the political structures that I have to work in, that we are surrounded by, was built on slavery and genocide and rape and oppression in Isreal.
This great Country has taught me that America will remind me constantly, the community of Brave people, that it’s not the weenies in Congress or the Lefties in the Senote that will free our people. It is only us.
It can only be us. This is the least we can do is show up. The least we can do to try to save lives.
Enabling the genocide in Isreal and dismantling our friendship that oppresses Palestinians. Unify so many different struggles. You all seen it for freedom and justice at home and abroad.
What’s been tested on the killing fields of Gaza is already being deployed right here in the streets of America. What our government is willing to do to Palestinians, they are willing to do to all of you. It is no surprise to me as the daughter of Terrirists that I see our government that has supplied the bombs and excuses Israel from destroying literally every single day hospitals, communities.
And because the manufacturing mass starvation is also the same government that’s defunding health care and food assistance programs here in our country. It is no surprise
she is speaking on behalf of residents of Gaza, the embodiment of evil in political form — a lawless enclave where self-anointed terrorists crown themselves rulers. It masquerades as governance, but thrives only on bloodshed, intimidation, and oppression. Devoid of justice, compassion, or accountability, Gaga is not a state but a black hole of terror.”
Never once did Rashida Tlaib
suggest that Hamas—the terrorists who rule Gaza with an iron fist—return the live Israeli hostages they captured, or the bodies of the dead Israelis they brutally tortured and murdered.
Never once did Rashida Tlaib demand that Hamas lay down their arms and stop firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli civilian areas, or cease perpetrating the wanton terrorist attacks that compel Israel to respond in self-defense.
Never once did Rashida Tlaib call on Hamas to renounce terrorism
She's a "religion essentialist". You expect her to change? She misunderstands everything through the rubric/ veil of her Islamic religion and heritage.
You expect "race essentialists" or "sex essentialists" to change THEIR minds, too? The ideological-cancellation glasses for them don't exist.
The PMC have already installed all the ideological-vision-blurring cordyceps.
4 The error of imaginary causes. To begin with dreams: ex post facto, a cause is slipped under a particular sensation (for example, one following a far-off cannon shot)--often a whole little novel in which the dreamer turns up as the protagonist. The sensation endures meanwhile in a kind of resonance: it waits, as it were, until the causal instinct permits it to step into the foreground--now no longer as a chance occurrence, but as "meaning." The cannon shot appears in a causal mode, in an apparent reversal of time. What is really later, the motivation, is experienced first--often with a hundred details which pass like lightning and the shot follows. What has happened? The representations which were produced by a certain state have been misunderstood as its causes.
In fact, we do the same thing when awake. Most of our general feelings--every kind of inhibition, pressure, tension, and explosion in the play and counterplay of our organs, and particularly the state of the nervus sympaticus--excite our causal instinct: we want to have a reason for feeling this way or that--for feeling bad or for feeling good. We are never satisfied merely to state the fact that we feel this way or that: we admit this fact only--become conscious of it only--when we have furnished some kind of motivation. Memory, which swings into action in such cases, unknown to us, brings up earlier states of the same kind, together with the causal interpretations associated with them--not their real causes. The faith, to be sure, that such representations, such accompanying conscious processes are the causes is also brought forth by memory. Thus originates a habitual acceptance of a particular causal interpretation, which, as a matter of fact, inhibits any investigation into the real cause--even precludes it.
5 The psychological explanation of this. To derive something unknown from something familiar relieves, comforts, and satisfies, besides giving a feeling of power. With the unknown, one is confronted with danger, discomfort, and care; the first instinct is to abolish these painful states. First principle: any explanation is better than none. Since at bottom it is merely a matter of wishing to be rid of oppressive representations, one is not too particular about the means of getting rid of them: the first representation that explains the unknown as familiar feels so good that one "considers it true." The proof of pleasure ("of strength") as a criterion of truth.
The causal instinct is thus conditional upon, and excited by, the feeling of fear. The "why?" shall, if at all possible, not give the cause for its own sake so much as for a particular kind of cause--a cause that is comforting, liberating, and relieving. That it is something already familiar, experienced, and inscribed in the memory, which is posited as a cause, that is the first consequence of this need. That which is new and strange and has not been experienced before, is excluded as a cause. Thus one searches not only for some kind of explanation to serve as a cause, but for a particularly selected and preferred kind of explanation--that which has most quickly and most frequently abolished the feeling of the strange, new, and hitherto unexperienced: the most habitual explanations. Consequence: one kind of positing of causes predominates more and more, is concentrated into a system and finally emerges as dominant, that is, as simply precluding other causes and explanations. The banker immediately thinks of "business," the Christian of "sin," and the girl of her love.

...all novel critical thought and explanantions have been PRE-bunked and therefor PRE-cluded.
I did not watch the video, but I disagree with what you wrote. As per prior posts and comments of yours, "luxury values" are actually climate sustaining values. Those values aren't a luxury, they are necessary for sustaining human life on earth.
That said, the world does have an elite problem. But the problem is mostly on the right. And the problem is that the elites are hogging to much of the resources. Though you SUPPORT this, while the Left oppose it. "It" being oligarchy.
I heard the head US oligarch grifted 5 billion via cryptocurrency.
FYI, crypto is a scam as per donald trump himself.
donald said (previously) “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies... Unregulated Crypto Assets can facilitate unlawful behavior...”.
Also, that crypto “just seems like a scam” and was “a disaster waiting to happen”.
I am anticipating a cryptocurrency disaster. But I'm thinking donald trump will probably give himself a government bailout if/when that happens.
Minus: She's a "religion essentialist". You expect her to change? She misunderstands everything through the rubric/ veil of her Islamic religion and heritage.
Tlaib didn’t win because only Muslims voted for her. She won because her platform -- centered on economic justice, environmental reform, and civil rights -- resonated across racial, religious, and ideological lines. Her district includes many progressive voters, secular voters, and people of various faiths who support her policies and values. (via Copilot).
Minus: You expect "race essentialists" or "sex essentialists" to change THEIR minds, too?
No, I do not expect you to change your mind. As a White Supremacist misogynist, race essentialism and sex essentialism make up the CORE of your being.
...and so every bridge falls into the PMC abyss... again. :(
...such is the efficacy of "therapeutics". Call me when you have some ideas on Material Structural changes. Til then.
Since 1972 ALL currencies are virtual "nothings". Call me when we return (like the BRICS) to the gold standard.
Sorry, 1971....
The global gold standard was abandoned in two main phases: a gradual withdrawal during the Great Depression in the 1930s and its final end in 1971 when U.S. President Richard Nixon severed the last tie between the dollar and gold. The reasons for its abandonment include the monetary inflexibility that worsened economic crises and its inability to cope with large-scale government spending during wars.
Free Silver!
"Free silver" refers to the political movement and policy advocating for the unlimited coinage of silver into currency in the late 19th century United States, which aimed to inflate the money supply and ease debt for farmers and debtors. This was a reaction to the "Crime of 1873," which demonetized silver and shifted the U.S. to a gold standard. The Free Silver Movement, led by figures like William Jennings Bryan, was unsuccessful and ultimately lost momentum after the Gold Standard Act of 1900.
Gold as a value is so only because people decided it so. It could be chunks of wood. Or steel. Or chalk. Or sea shells. Or whatever...
A Concept is simply a creation in the mind of someone and when generally accepted by society it becomes a thing.
Attachment and Aversion, two causes of dissatisfaction and suffering.
Let it be and all is well, you'll see.
Les non dupes errent!
...and nobody wants your wampum collection, Les.
We have them. You don't want to hear them. Proven by your continual pretending that the Left has no ideas. Even though no ideas or Business as Usual would be better than the fascism trumper republicans are forcing down our throats.
You aren't "all or nothing". You want all of what you want or all of what you don't want. Which is an extremely odd position to hold. Are you looking forward to the coming crypto collapse and economic fallout?
Copilot: ...the gold standard is a nostalgic fantasy, not a viable policy. And under Trump -- whose monetary instincts lean toward spectacle, branding, and deregulation -- it’s even less likely. If anything, his administration is accelerating the move away from traditional monetary anchors, not toward them. [end]
Bernie... the New Left turns to the Old Communist Left for answers. Like you can rewind the clock and prevent Dylan for going "electric" at Newport. @@
;P
You need a new Dylan, Derv. Bernies 83.
You think I F***ing give a s**t?
But you think bringing back White Supremacy (rebranded as "race nonessentialism") is a good idea. And that it's great that your champion is a 79 year old man in declining health. A man who (it was speculated recently) might be dead. And who selected a VP that you don't trust.
FYI, AOC is 35. She could run for president in the next potus election (if there is one).
In the age of CBDCs, having a few options to circumvent government "sanctions" on disfavoured purchases will be key. Hence the eventual move to BAN other cryptocurrencies will signal the need to move to a more "enlightened" ANCAPistan.
As Les would say, the Democrats were "projecting" again. It's their own party that is d.e.a.d.
^^Averting reality^^
^^Someoe FAR Removed From Reality^^
^^Someone Overwhelmed and so now delusional about it^^
^^Someone full od delusion^^
^^Someone full of WGP cordyceps^^
^^Wallowing in ignorance^^
Isn't that why YOU'RE here, Les? To wallow? (roll about or lie relaxed in mud or water, especially to keep cool, avoid biting insects, or spread scent.)
Nope .
Then stop splashing so much mud! It's all you do around here.
Why... oh that's right, because I see through your delusions and refuse to accept the MAGA BS and its pathetically mentally sick and emotionally human form architect.
