scooter video and aquaman track putting me in an emotional rollercoaster

yup so it goes i suppose. i dunno if the irony we're seeing these days is part of that pattern though. it's like peoples' self image is preventing them from taking a critical look at themselves and realizing they're part of the problem. but at the same time irrationality has always been part of the human condition. homo economicus was always a lie distribution of wealth is, as you're saying, probably at the center of the issue. that, and the relegation of the economically and intellectually poor to the countryside. politics are mainly addressing the cities and their issues and so the segregated poor feel deprived. especially when money starts going to immigrants who are now receiving the same welfare support they themselves have always asked and worked for. ...it's basically what the article is saying, anyways. not that i disagree

i think this* article (put it in google translate or whatever if you're interested) puts a finger on what i've been thinking the issue is for quite a while now. the discourse is dominated by middle class intellectuals who can't grasp the mindset of the leave-voters/yellow vests in france/swedish democrats and their counterparts, which is why we're seeing these developments all over europe and, by extension, the US. the leave voters and other right wingers are, unfortunately, the new system critics while the loudest (in sweden they're mostly left and right wing liberals) voices in politics are doing their best to maintain the status quo. the critics of the 70s are the same people who are voting remain, which is ironic in a sense. they've gone from wanting change to wanting preservation. it's not that I disagree with them--were I british i'd have voted remain--but it's not a sustainable situation. people aren't listening to each other anymore. there's just too much contempt between globalists ("intellectuals") and nationalists ("white trash") and nobody's willing to actually admit it. whatever became of class consciousness? corporate interests and an unwillingness to change our ecologically and economically unsustainable lifestyle weighs heavier to most, including self-proclaimed leftists (me being one of them), than the vision of a future where people actually get along with each (without contempt) other and the planet. * http://www.dagensarena.se/essa/det-folkliga-missnojet-vacker-medelklassens-forakt/

literally nazi logic tbh. they've got some document somewhere saying they can't so they won't. papers are more important than people and their discretion. this is more than a stupid first world problem; it's an expression of a full-scale prioritization of a system over living peace
