I can't seem to reconcile this with the outrageous success the Left has had in buying off the weak via social welfare. The weak seem to be grateful and empowered by the handouts.
The ruling class is adept at directing the hate and resentment of the weak against the good and the productive. That’s how it works.
They riot over jury verdicts. They believe they are entitled to more, and this is just crumbs from the table of the reparations they are owed. They feel oppressed because of ever-decreasing-in-severity offenses by ‘the man,’ because sometimes one of their own gets shot by a policeman, because middle-class white women hold their purses close to them as they pass. I’ve lived in poor neighborhoods for years, and never yet met a grateful welfare recipient.
