Politics
Over the years having supported one party or the other I can tell you that it's all about people wanting power over others and then ensuring that they keep it. Their reality is totally different than the reality we, the 99%, live in that they can no longer even relate to us. There is no chance that they would actually understand the issues that affect regular people and then offer solutions that would actually solve those issues. Best advice is to simply try to enjoy life. Have you ever been a big fan of a sports team? They lose and you get depressed? Politics is no different. The players of the team that you admire couldn't care less about you and neither do politicians of either party. They only tell you what they think that you want to hear so you will vote for them and keep them in power
the connection between politics and sports tells me youre a well-off white male.
I understand that you have no threat of material loss when the wrong 'sports team' is in power, many people will actually face the consequences of the elites actions though.
I understand if you want to ignore this fact, but it is a fact.
Actually a Black Male who has never received one dime as a government hand out. Parents taught me not to be jealous of others and just get educated. I did. Since my college degrees were in fields that employers valued I didn't find it hard to get a job. I was hired for my skills not the tint of my skin. I've found that people who like to be victims believe what politicians actually can turn them from losers into winners. People can cry all they want about how awful life is but each individual can achieve a productive successful life if realize all they have to do is tune out all the bullshit and apply themselves. I realize that most people don't want to hear stuff like this because getting educated is hard work. Being a victim is easy. And interestingly no change of government at either the federal or state level has ever had a significant plus or minus effect on my life. But those who are victims always seem sure that a change in political control is going to be a horror show.
a black male should understand greater than anyone that systematic and economic oppression (made by governments and corporations) are the the things keeping people from 'getting educated and a good job'
edit - realised i am trying to have a reasonable discussion that posts about fucking their gfs mum
It must be a burden to have all the right answers for everyone. What insight it must take to be able to tell a Black Male what they should think. I feel honored that you would take the time to correct me. As a Black Male how I could I possibly know how non black people have determined how I should think and "feel".
Systematic and economic oppression are the forever excuses for those that embrace being victims. There is a big world out there of non White people who are successful because their parents told them not to believe the bullshit of forever racism.
