I agree with your sentiment. But it's NOT weird. Cutting the pay of wealthy-addicts is NEVER an option under the pro-wealthy & anti-worker economic systems inherent to right-wing politics. It has been the playbook of wealthy right-wingers since the invention of currency.
In the past, slavery, feudalism, and monarchy were the names for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic systems under right-wing politics. And today, capitalism is simply the modern name for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic system under right-wing politics.
And, with a new name for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic system, the wealthy right-wing addicts also came up with new descriptors to disguise the feudalist-slavery-monarchal nature of capitalism.
(A)Slaves from the past are called prisoners or illegal-aliens in the present.
(B)Serfs from the past are called employees in the present.
(C)Masters, lords, and kings from the past are called supervisors, managers, employers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, and financiers in the present.
(D)Slave patrollers from the past are called police patrollers in the present.
(E)Knights from the past are called soldiers in the present.
There are numerous examples of how the wealthy right-wing addicts have manipulated language for their benefit over time, using propaganda and hyperbole. And just as the wealthy right-wingers have changed their language, so, too, should the working-class.
Again, I agree with your sentiments. But I disagree with the hyperbolic way in which the wealthy-vs-worker dichotomy is discussed.
The working-class needs to be much more direct and sincere in our language -- enough of this under-handed, behind-the-back, or watered-down kind of talk.
The wealthy right-wing addicts will NEVER give up their addictions willingly. And it's time for workers to stop pretending they will.
It's time for the working-class to stop talking and acting like this socioeconomic hierarchy is something new -- this wealthy, right-wing, hierarchical bullsh!te has been going on for millennia.
It's time for workers to stop communicating in hyperbole, like, "it's weird how..." or "it's funny that..."
The minority-rule by the wealthy-class, under which the working-class majority struggles, IS NOT weird -- it is by design.
The socioeconomic subjugation of workers by the wealthy right-wing addicts IS NOT weird -- it is purposeful.
It is NOT weird -- it's normal.
And it will continue to be the norm until working-class people take it more seriously and speak about it more directly.
Because, not only will the wealthy right-wing addicts never, EVER, willingly give up their addictions, but they'll also promote, encourage, and facilitate the sabotage, murder, and genocide of communities, individuals, and entire nations of people.
The wealthy right-wingers have been doing these things for time immemorial.
It is not even slightly weird -- it's f*kcing normal. And it's time that working-class people recognize and remember it.
The wealthy right-wingers aren't going to change their tactics or their desired outcome. But working-class people certainly need to change our tactics.
Again, I agree with your sentiment but completely disagree with your style.
And I find it absurd that your comment is at the top of the comments-section when there are so many other, better comments that should be at the top.
My words aren't meant to discourage anyone -- I don't take my words lightly -- my words are meant to encourage us to do better.
Sorry -- not sorry -- if anyone is offended by these words.
