    Idk about that; for example, most Republicans are barely highschool grads, statistically the poorest people in America. I think if you track reactionary sentiment in general it is most prevalent in the lowest socioeconomic brackets worldwide. True, the propagators of reactionary ideologies are people of means, but, in a capitalist system with capitalist media, the most effective propagators of ANY ideology are people of means. Sure, those ideologies are always going to be skewed in the class interests of the owning class, but, all I’m saying is we need to be more open to calling class traitors out as the dumbfucks they are.

      I understand your point. I didn’t include the brainwashed sheep because I don’t consider them to even understand what they hate. However, in my socialist country the socialist party leaders are mostly middle class people. I actually even vote for a party that has people that worked the floor in supermarkets and warehouses. It’s extremely clear that in my country the middle class runs the left and the upper class runs the right. (And of course the right gained their following because of “immigrants” and passive racism.)
