M’am, it’s not that we’re white, it’s not that we’re men, it’s that we adhere to “the Puritan work ethic”. Eliminating “white men” from your path will not reap you the “progress” you seek, as there will be insufficient wealth (which is transient & fragile) to redistribute.
There’s a reason the Mensheviks (a minority branch of Russia’s Bolsheviks) insisted on waiting for the capitalists to build up a sufficient excess of wealth _before_ confiscating it. Without it, there is no “progressivism” as there is no mechanism for progress.
To the contrary: you could indeed “deny white men the franchise”, and aside from the violent resistance it would spark (see prior posts), we of the Puritan Work Ethic (has nothing to do with “white” or “men”, but for the correlation of memes with genes) will simply move on to un/under-developed land and rebuild again. Let me clarify: we who HuffPo demonize & disparage RELISH the idea of relocating to barren wilderness, putting hand to stone & plow, and creating riches & luxury out of the dust of the earth and the rain that falls thereon. We care not what color you are, we adore unto revere women who share the Ethic, we care only that each gives as much effort as s/he can and reaps the contracted earnings accordingly.
“the correlation of memes with genes....”
Kudos to you, for using the word “memes” correctly.
(Hint to everyone else, a funny graphic posted on the Internet is not a “meme”.)
