Sheng-ji Yang posted:political correctness did not elect trump. the democratic party and especially the hillary campaign ignoring the economic concerns of the American working class, both white and minorities, did if you're familiar with zizek's other stuff, that's exactly his point. political correctness is an attempt to shut down, say, racism, without addressing the relationship between class struggle and racist ideology. trump says some vile poo poo, twitter eggs and your racist uncle say some vile poo poo, hillary and liberals are aghast but, crucially, offer no response beyond "naughty naughty", because going deeper than that would mean addressing the injustice of neoliberal economic policy (which is the thing that some otherwise potentially sensible people are getting angry about and dealing with by enacting white supremacist fantasies). liberals don't WANT rubes to move beyond racism and towards socialism.

who was trump fighting for? people who work for a living and by extension the companies they work at. who was trump fighting against? the political establishment and it's byzantine taxes and regulations that gently caress over individuals and drive companies out of business or out of the country, the big banks who have bought out the establishment to rip everyone off, and all the various undesirables who are either looking for a free ride or even worse to take what is yours. who was hillary fighting for, and who against? deadgoon has issued a correction as of 19:08 on Nov 29, 2016 |

people want dignified work (dignified among their social class, not among liberal coastal elites) with decent pay and benefits and they understand that while their relationship with the company that employs them is fundamentally antagonistic they still need that company to not go out of business and while they may want to eat the rich on wallstreet they probably dont want to eat some guy who owns a local business even if he is a dick to his employees if only there was some way of organizing society so that everyone could work to the best of their ability while receiving an equitable share of the wealth produced by their labor...

quote:The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living time for a modern constitution for modern americans imo

a few days ago the power went out and since i am completely unprepared for the collapse of civilization i broke out an old walkman (not actually a walkman) and fired up the AM radio looking for some local news and i ended up listening to a right wing talk show where a guy was like "oh, so the democrats will be the obstructionists now? so two wrongs make a right?" yes, the math checks out, bern it all down
