Everything the right-wing does is designed to accomplish one of two things [View All]

[NAO]

Jack Clark, in his EXCELLENT, highly recommended podcast (available free at iTunes), puts it this way:

"Everything the right-wing does is designed to accomplish one of two things, either (a) transfer wealth from everyone else to the rich, or, (b) distract everyone else from the fact that (a), that wealth transfer, is occurring."

***

It is that simple. It is such a powerful explanatory statement that it bears repeating:

Everything the right-wing does is designed to accomplish one of two things,

EITHER

(a) transfer wealth from everyone else to the rich,

OR

(b) distract everyone else from the fact that (a), that wealth transfer, is occurring.

***

And THAT explains why those on the right stoke racism (b1), why they embrace anti-intellectualism (b2), why they froth at the mouth about flag burning(b3), or the pledge of allegiance(b4), socialism (b5), founding fathers (b6), abortion(b7), taking your guns(b8) or whatever (bx) strategy they are using that particular day to keep ordinary people from noticing (a) and to keep ordinary people to continue to support right-wing politics, all the while being on the short end of (a).
