But I also wish harm to the ruling class too.
Polls show just 30 percent of Burgerroids support this while 70 oppose. Granted, that’s still 30 too many and an indictment of how our idleness has more or less given carte blanche to the ruling class to do whatever the fuck they want without maintaining even the barest democratic pretenses (whereas even our pathetic showing in 2003 against the Iraq War would probably get the White House to back down). So fair enough.
Sure, 70% “oppose” it in the same way that I oppose factory farming (I don’t really care enough to make personal sacrifices and still eat whatever I want to). Having the Correct Opinion on paper isn’t enough.
It’s sort of the same thing with how support for Israel has dropped like a stone, especially but not exclusively among young and “young” voters, while our ruling class has only doubled down its support for it (albeit with a closer eye to PR and selective “restraint”). People feel comforted to know they aren’t alone but it’s not nearly enough. The powers that be can act however they want because, at the end of the day, most of us will post about how much we hate whatever they do, but will still go to work the next day.
It’s also an illustration of how the US isn’t a real democracy. They love to “spread” democracy and contrast “democracy vs communism”, but because of capitalism, the people don’t actually have a say in their affairs here. The people they elect are all from the same class and therefore generally have the same opinions when it comes to things that are important for US capitalism (so they may differ on gay marriage or abortion for example, but when it comes to imperialism they will all agree).
