At this point in time I’d rather have the fair for society Democrats than the democrats than the SJW types that are coming out now, these new Democrats are more dangerous then any variant we have seen in quite some time.Hastur wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 6:10 amI agree. And now when Americans talk about Social Democrats they always mean the new SJW flavour, not the old boring fair society architects.The Conservative wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 5:40 amNot in the US, the Democrats have been eating at the upper middle class and “rich” for decades.Hastur wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:30 amMost people don't realize that a big middle class is a historical anomaly. It emerged as a result of the two world wars. We've never seen anything similar before. The natural order is a small number of ultra-rich, a bunch of plebs and some skilled middle-class managing to stretch their heads above the poor masses.
I detest the Social Democrats but I got to hand it to them they've managed to keep the communists at bay by artificially maintaining the middle class with different transfers. They always used to see that as their primary goal but now they are getting infected by the equity bug and identity politics. It's because they think it's a power game and they are more interested in winning elections than how to govern in a sustainable fashion. It will come back and bite them in their ass if they're not careful.
We saw more on food stamps and poverty levels in the last 20 years than any time since WWII.
I’m almost willing to say that they are more dangerous than the socialist Democrats that we had during the 40s and 50s.
