Making them interested in punching\u00a0<em class=\"je\">down\u00a0<\/em>makes them uninterested in punching\u00a0<em class=\"je\">up<\/em>. A working class turning fascist \u2014 trying to dominate everyone else lower than them, refugees, immigrants, minorities, immigrants \u2014 is also one that turns a blind eye to billionaires.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This bargain is working out very, very well. For billionaires, at least. The working class around the globe has been totally seduced by having scapegoats to hate, by having predatory dominance over those lower than them \u2014 instead of true political and social power over those above them, like billionaires. Even in strongholds of social democracy like Canada and Europe, the working class is being seduced by the dazzling temptation of dominance. Hate may be the most powerful drug of all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"hzImg\" style=\"background: none; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden; padding: 5px; position: absolute; z-index: 2147483647; visibility: hidden; opacity: 1; cursor: pointer; pointer-events: none; display: none;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Why Our Societies are Disintegrating | by umair haque | Eudaimonia&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[426],"class_list":["post-13720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-eat-the-rich","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13720\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.ckms.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
