I looked into a socialnetwork page of a ufo person. Is an educated comfortable individual who most likely (far as I can tell) never experienced the chronic adversity wrought by poverty. This person had put, If you can afford alcohol and cigarrettes, you shouldn't have foodstamps. (Just like I put in my page, a link to an article that Republican brains are fear-based and closer to the primordial).
Here is my reaction. How about, "If you can afford to gamble with privatized 'social security' life savings from the shiney casino called Goldman Sachs, over exotic hedgefund instruments, while a guy's outsourced job went to China, and house was foreclosed upon, You shouldn't have trillion dollar bailouts."
"If you are The Military Industrial Complex, you shouldn't be ongoing-allocated incomprehensible amounts in 'black budget slush funds' which could buy every impoverished (smoking) person in the US, their own house and vehicle. (Who drink, due to a lifetime of traumatic chronic adversity.) I say, those who say "Let them eat cake", "Off with their heads!" (Ya know, so-to-speak, etc. (proverbialy....)
I have seen alot of back-and-forth about this over at like, ATS, but I am curious with you Paracasters. Especially non-Americans. Many US people, who lean conservative Libertarian, express a lot of disgust-targeting toward people who recieve a couple of hundred dollars a month in assistance of one form or another. I am certain that in my lifetime, my social security money will never come anywhere near a welfare infusion for 'the black budget' or a transnational corporation or international banker.
I know that you might say, "the weakest most powerless in your society are the easiest to pick on and scapegoat." But how can an intelligent educated grownup with children knowingly be like that? I have noticed that a --lot-- of my (close and long distance) encounters with (what I call "ufo-llywood") struck me as --quite-- elitest and snobbish. It makes me want to refer to ufology as, "The Vril Society" instead. Know what I mean? Otherwise, how can an intelligent grownup person with kids knowingly be like that? HONEST, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
