    I wonder if that guy looked at the screen, read each item, and thought “oh damn, I picked the wrong side”.

      I’m pretty sure he’s part of the “I have mine” crowd.

      The main way in which even highly educated domain experts can be made willing minions of the elites in Capitalism is to give them just a little bit more than the rest of the riff-raff - plenty of people around willing to fuck everybody else just for a few more crumbs from the fatcats’ table (the police in general are probably the greatest example of this) and a higher level of formal education whilst usually making somebody a bit more aware of the implications of things in general and their own actions, doesn’t in any way form or shape make a person less selfish, with higher empathy or more moral.

      Honestly, this doesn’t match the usual shit I see from Fox News (mind you, it’s been a while since I’ve seen fox news, thank god). Normally I’m used to seeing something like a guy with a strict beard and a cowboy had talking about how liberalism is destroying America. The way they’re putting it here is very flattering in comparison to what I’m used to.

      A part of me wonders if someone there likes those ideas and purposefully didn’t invest all too much effort into making them look bad.
