    One side has always thirsted for violence since that’s how they got everything they have, and the other side it’s starting to understand you can’t reason with inhumane people.

      Get people hooked on a culture war and they’ll quickly forget there’s a class war nearly everyone is losing.

          Yeah, it’s ingenious. Both sides think they are the moral one. It’s the best way to keep people distracted from what the main players are doing. It’s an eternal conflict where both sides are infallible to themselves. Once constructed it’s naturally self perpetuating.

        lol culture war. Concentration camps and forced disappearances are not the same fight as boobs on video game characters.

          Pretty much. Who should use which toilet isn’t as vital as issues like citizens united and the patriot act or other large scale surveillance and corruption.
