i would say the bigotry has always been there, yes
but i would say that plutocrat funded methods for aligning the bigots to plutocrat agendas is a well-oiled machine
a plutocrat-bigot political axis
not that plutocrats are creating bigots, no that's not what i mean
i mean plutocrats working over these shitbags for devotion with simple cons only morons fall for by appealing to their ignorant hate
@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox you are absolutely correct. BUT remember that plutocrat numbers and aggregate wealth were MUCH smaller immediately after Civil Rights. Racist voters have massively concentrated wealth and opportunity ever since Civil Rights, to keep them away from black people. Poor racists created today's toxic, threatening billionaire class.

Yeah there's plutocrats using bigots. But as you say plenty of those plutocrats *are* bigots.

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox you're absolutely correct. AND modern plutocracy is overwhelmingly caused by bigotry.

A feedback loop
Bigots turn out to vote for plutocrat agendas
And plutocracy rewards bigots

@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox it doesn't reward them economically. Bigots lose money and life expectancy. BUT they get more bigotry, and that's all they care about.

@jonesmurphy @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox just like the old LBJ quote

@benroyce @mike805 @sennoma @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. . I'd not run into that quote before and I've not seen a quote quite that accurate. I keep asking what they want to conserve? Slavery, uncivil rights (One I think they have truly conquered), belching and farting in public. Yup on a whole conservatives never got past the little girl in Willie Wonka who wanted her desires NOW!!! no matter how inane.

@swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox
well there is division on the right too
the problem is that gets all papered over because they have a huge brainwashed mindless MAGA cult
division is inescapable. division is normal
it's just in our current time the natural (and unnatural) division on the left vs the manufactured unity on the right based on appeals to the bigotry that has always been with us, all funded by plutocrat controlled media, is a huge problem
@benroyce @swacknificent @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox and that barrier separating the left from right hemisphere is the corpus callosum.

I love it. It's such a witty, sly burn delivered so smooth and dry

@sennoma @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox
but it's even worse than that because most of the world uses red for left and blue for right
so any non-american viewing this will be confused about what is being said here
@benroyce @sennoma
I like this pictogram very much, but indeed it is a bit weird. All my life I have wondered why the Guardians Of Pedophiles (fka Goofy Odd Party) chose red as their color, when red is the color of their declared enemies comunists, socialists & in modern democracies the color of many left parties. Why the lefties are pictured right is plain nonsensical. Oddly enough the message still is clear.

@mike805 @sennoma @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox
i disagree
of course there is some disunity on the right as well
but what the right has that the left does not is this absolutely devoted, absolutely fucking stupid and mindless, MAGA cult of zombies who fervently show up to vote and fervently obey their plutocrat masters
that's a huge problem
@benroyce @mike805 I agree, the right might butcher each other and their babies behind closed doors, but in public they appear unified. This is 1 of their 2 strengths. The left is always plucked like a chicken because they are hunting for the perfect unicorn. @sennoma @Scrimshaw9 @maya_b @gerowen @ariarhythmic @Mastodon @mellifluousbox
