I mean yeah.
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
LBJ was taking about race. It the quote “give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you” applies pretty much universally to a third of the population, maybe more. Probably more.

God damn,it really is just people being xenophobic everywhere isn’t it?
I still agree with the above user it’s gonna get worse though, if xenophobia truly is the common factor climate change is going to fuck Europe.
- Comment on These posts are unhinged. No I don't miss a candidate that couldnt beat donald fucking trump. How shitty do you have to be to lose to him in any any fucking universe. 2 weeks ago:
Nah op I’m with you, I don’t want to see the democratic party ever again. Go further right looking for republican votes every year then shocked pikachu when they vote for the actual Republicans instead of the obviously fake ones, the party deserves to be consigned to the dust bin of history where we should have left it in 1865.
Unfortunately, we didn’t, and they’re what we’re stuck with. I sure hope her career specifically is over though, she killed her own campaign and likely america with her choice of strategy to chase voters who think she works for the devil.

- Comment on Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? 5 weeks ago:
People collectively are stupid, lazy, forgetful, and irrational which makes them easily manipulated. Democracy’s reliance on the opposite from its citizens means people have to constantly fight against their own nature to preserve it. And when they’re continuously successful they’re prone to forget why they’re doing it in the first place and get lazy. When that happens they’re just as likely to throw up their hands and say “fuck it” when uncomfortable or faced with adversity as they are to get in line and enthusiastically ask to blow the whole thing up, wittingly or not.
Similar idea to “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times” if strong and weak were idk vigilant and apathetic probably work.
Idk, im just stoned writing shit, im not educated or anything, probably shouldn’t take me too seriously. Sorry i worded the original comment poorly lol.

Bro we have the oldest still in use codified constitution in the world and haven’t updated it in 40 years, really longer. What exactly made you think this fucked up system was anywhere close to resilient?
