Wealthiest Republican supporter in Ohio quits party, praises Obama

[PSOL]

Either way it is interesting how the burned wealthy elite, always looking for profits, are so negatively impacted that they are losing their damn minds from Trumps policies. Like they now realized that Obama was the best market solution, as they could still force down austerity among the states but not nationally.

Now that they are blocked out of the Trump Oligarchy, they are huddling for the supposed radical solutions by supporting the party already in line yet always a second fish to the Republican admins.

I also find it funny that Dems here are so blind as to allow struggling politically blind people out on the curb, while supporting the same pro-local austerity suits that got us here.

Atlas Democrats:

"Trump is obviously a vile human being, why do still people vote Republican?"

Atlas Democrats, after a wealthy Republican says he will stop voting Republican because Trump is a vile human being:

"I don't want your support, neoliberal scum!"

The left's outright hatred of rich people is so odd to me. Especially since many of them came from well off families.

Atlas socialists often come from middle class white suburban backgrounds and in their teen/20’s angst must rebel against it and everything it’s about. So instead their admiration is glued towards rural white voters who they avoid in real life and make weird caricatures about them being socialists with a social conservative bent. It’s similar to how white weeaboos worship Japan while knowing nothing about actual Japan.

You just always get it so right. Preach!

No, no he didn’t. The stereotype of the Champaign socialist being the only socialists around is a false stereotype. So does idealizing racist working class members. The actual socialists, on here and in reality, care about uplifting everyone from poverty and suffering. Eugene Debs, Gloria La Riva, and others are working class people who fought for all members of the working class, cutting lines to uplift the people. Jacobin, that Kentucky bandit, and others do the same.

 Also the fact that you give sh**t to middle income or “well off” people, who uses their power to try to help the world, is terrible. Just because you close your eyes and segregate yourself from the suffering, because of your cowardice, laziness, or fear of dropping down, don’t blow your horn taking people that fight for our ( your) taken-for granted rights and for leveling the playing field.

Literally the first word of my post refers specifically to atlas socialists. I highly doubt Gloria LaRiva and Eugene Debs’ ghost are browsing atlas.

I think you have a reading comprehension problem.

I did mention the atlas working class members that are socialists later in my post and why giving crap to the middle income folks here is bunk. Plus let’s be honest, the accusations of atlas members is your generalization of all socialists.

Well it’s either they’re sheltered from being middle class or they’re just deluded to assume that rural whites are interested in socialist policies. You can claim all you want about how people like me “segregate ourselves” from suffering but you guys are the ones on this forum who defend the same people that time and time again have voted for Republican candidates and elected Trump. They don’t see themselves as victims and people like your ilk come across as being hilariously condescending when you try to tell them that they’re actually suffering (arguably more condescending than Icespear’s entire posting history).

Also the best case scenario you’ll get is rural whites just not seeing themselves as victims. Worst case scenario you’ll find plenty of the ones who know they’re getting screwed and are fine with it so long as minorities aren’t getting the benefit. Read up on the southern strategy if you have the time mate.

My family are practically all working class rural whites. They think they're some kind of victims and that their lack of success in life is the fault of everyone but themselves, and that because of that it's justified to be a useless drug addict or alcoholic. I hate them and their loser victim mentality. That's why the worship of rural working class whites on Atlas makes me so mad. I grew up in that environment and it's horrible. Yet no one on Atlas takes my actual experience living with working class whites as legitimate or whatever, even though few or none of them have ever lived that lifestyle. It's infuriating.

In fairness, Hillgoose, how is it remotely fair to broadly impugn white working class people with the apparent dysfunction and entitlement mentality your family apparently suffered from? Serious question.

I think HG is trying to say that rural and post-industrial white working class culture has a particular mentality, and HG's family is a manifestation of it.

Fair enough, but perhaps it would be more compelling if you spoke about the type of same mentality being rampant in his community, if he's actually familiar with that being a problem, as opposed to one perhaps just with his extended family and their friends.

There are problems with the working class as they have cultural issues, yes that isn’t deniable. What I was trying to say is that most socialists want to uplift the working class out of poverty and reactionary traps. This is an effort that the middle class wants as well, they see suffering and they know the nation has the resources to fix it.
