I'm still haunted by the realization that conservatives want hierarchy. They want underclasses. Even when they're not the top! They don't want free health care because then the wrong sort of people will get it!
They're bad people! It's not about "cost" or market efficiency or anything else they say.
This is why when people post anti-right wing messages they don't realize it's not the right angle
Wrong angle: they only want the top class to access health care
Right angle: most Americans cannot afford to see doctors
This is because they read the message and think "hell yeah fuck em [derogatory word]s"
To address far right people. You ALWAYS have to frame it in a way where it's about THEMSELVES.
It's the same thing with anti-left wing messages. You'll see fox News going "antifa wants more of our tax dollars to feed children". It's like ....hell yeah.
20% are predisposed to this kind of thinking and they make up the bulk of fascists.
Yeah, well you see, they are in the middle of said hierarchy , they are happy being in the middle of the hierarchy, they just don’t anyone else to climb the ranks
