re: #46 Hecuba’s daughter

That is literally what they believe: their 401(k) is doing well so who cares about other people’s rights. And they believe that an unregulated “free” market brings paradise on earth and solves all problems

Finally finished my binge watch of “The Man in the High Castle”; one of its messages was how easily Americans who were not racial or religious minorities accepted the rule of the Reich and were complicit in or didn’t really care about the crimes committed in the Nazi regime ruling America. But then again, the Nazis were inspired by American eugenics and racism.

There’s an old term for what Bernie sells: “trickle down civil rights.” It’s the exact same argument used by “trickle down economics” supporters, only used to claim that social equality rather than economic equality is reached when people have more money. Yet in practice all you do is replace racism/sexism/bigotry/etc with classism, such that members of the same minority group will divide themselves based upon their “worth.”
