Let’s say it simply. It isn’t lack of money or possessions or even social status. It is a poverty of spirit, of intelligence, of morals and inner philosophy of life and what it means to be a human in a civilized society. The underclass is self-perpetuating. There is a different DEFINITION of good/evil entrenched from birth in people whose ‘families’ indoctrinate them in aberrance. All that non-criminal families call wrong, these thug-machine families call right. The prey wants to live, and sees the predator as the enemy-the predators consider the prey fair game and their desire to kill normal. Until that changes- if it can be-all society can do is contain or eliminate the predators.
‘It is a poverty of spirit, of intelligence, of morals and inner philosophy of life and what it means to be a human in a civilized society.’
Well put.
