These poor and working-class people love to imagine themselves in a position of wealth. They seem to argue about taxes, the minimum wage, labor laws, and such from that perspective, instead of from their current spread-eagle position in which they're getting ****ed by the wealthy they defend.
"The more a person deems absolute equality among all people to be a desirable condition, the further left he or she will be on the ideological spectrum. The more a person considers inequality to be unavoidable or even desirable, the further to the right he or she will be". --Roderick Stackelberg

One of the most disturbing things I've ever read on rational wiki: Someone scoffed at the notion that MKUltra was focused on slipping people lsd. He then expouses how involved it was, and ends it with "We learned a lot".
A secret government project that experimented on people without their knowledge or consent, and he says "We learned a lot".
And no one calls him on it.
Conservepedia is stereotypical jokes, but the rational wiki alternative people are creepy..

Most leftists of my generation in Europe are Unionists, who believe in workers rights and the welfare state. We serve each other, the people. We believe in taxes so everyone has a safety net.
That's because your generation and older lived through some very crappy worker eras and it was upon the backs of your parents that we enjoy...not working 20 hours a day for 10 cents an hour when we are 10 years old.
You do know that part of the one percent is your average small business right? Not just the giant corporations
Why are you for strangling businesses with shitty taxes, regulations, and other such nonsense
In fact your views are way more for the giant corporations like amazon, google, you’re for censorship like they are, your for open borders which brings low wage workers like they are, etc etc
