trump-moist is a NYC failson scion that's obsessed with golf and creepy beauty paegants.

my-hero goes without saying; he has almost nothing in common with the average "heartland" chud except hatred and targets for hatred.

I don't know how to reach them and I assume if it was easy it would have been done already, but it baffles me that these failson clowns hold the leash.

    The issue is hierarchy. Chuds are okay with their leaders because they believe in the need for hierarchy. They view their enemies as being in the wrong place within the hierarchy and their policies should move people back to the correct spot. In the chud worldview, problems occur within society because some groups have moved away from their spot while pushing the chuds further down from where they should be.

    This is why they're against things like universal healthcare. Resources are limited, thus shouldn't be wasted on people at the bottom. The people at the top are most deserving. If you give healthcare to the people at the bottom, it's taking away from the people above the bottom. And when the situation gets bad enough, they advocate for eradicating the lower rungs.

    This is why it's so difficult to get through to non-communists. Even libs believe in this hierarchy, they just think everyone within their country should be at the top, but anyone else outside their borders should be placed below. Libs and chuds primary argument is over these classifications. Chuds think some of the people within their country aren't in the right place while libs think they are, but both agree brown and black foreigners belong at the bottom.

    Socialists can not only see the hierarchy, they know how to get rid of it. Neither chuds nor libs recognize it because to them, that's just how the world works. The idea of abolishing the ladder becomes obscene.

      I'd actually say it's less hierarchy and more settler class interests. It's why they hate non-white countries, while the rich people they worship are who they aspire to become. They have patriarchal (which includes transphobia and homophobia) beliefs because it benefits them.

      Chuds pretty much know this and don't care, libs know but won't admit it till you press them and you know how it goes with scratching libs.

        I'm referring to hierarchies from the perspective of chuds. Their class interests are what they can observe, while hierarchies are more abstract in a way that blinds them from making these observations.

        The settler class and Imperial core are still hierarchies. They're in the spot in the hierarchy they think they belong in, which is the spot coinciding with their class interests. The reason they're so hard to convert is because they view hierarchies as not only natural, but desirable. And because they're "natural," they can't wrap their head around hierarchies being wrong.

        So when the communist comes along and starts talking about destroying hierarchies, chud brains immediately turn off. The commie may as well be talking about destroying oxygen.

        tl;dr-- Pluto's allegory of the cave, Morpheus gives Neo the women in red lesson.
