It seems people will do absolutely anything except take their anger out on people who might deserve it.

Beat your wife and kids? OK

Run over brown people with your truck? Terrific idea

Shoot your boss? What, never

Well, I know why, it's because the media rallies themselves to get you all riled up about the gays and the browns, so your rage won't have any consequence

They do the same with Islamic extremists in eg Pakistan, funnel people into stupid fundamentalist orgs so they won't look into Marxism, and bonus points, the extremist orgs you're propping up will even hunt communists themselves, the same way conservatives in the US despise anything socialist (in the UK we don't know what communists are, we just hate scroungers, trans and immigrints 😡)

Kind of following up from my post the other day about CEO salaries, still thinking about it, I honestly don't get how senior management are able to kid themselves when they only earn £200k themselves, real serf behaviour

    It's hierarchy or something.

    Wife and kids are lesser. So are school children, pedestrians, etc. But the boss is the superior, so attacking him is unthinkable.

    Americans 😒

      Anglosphere culture in a nutshell.

      It is more 'honorable' to pick fights you know you'll win than to challenge someone all-powerful. Even for a conservative standpoint this just leads to complacency in top-level.
