yeah it was not my intention to insist on the differences or "debate" you, i just wanted to express my appreciation for what i saw as the intellectual integrity of your post without agreeing with its contents
and here again you show a rational response to the oppositional part of my post. which again i appreciate
i do not have the same respect for weaksauce "feelings" american style pseudo leftism--the kind practiced by spoiled privileged children who stole the word woke from black folks just to highlight their social media virtue signaling without accomplishing shit or sacrificing anything, and then cry when you disagree with them
(bolsheviks on the other hand have always been fighters)
anyway this relates to the following:

While a lot of intellectual liberals were going on about staying home and save lives on social media, he understood that a lot of the less well-off working-class folks could not afford to just stay at home and work. Not such an option when you have a family to feed, and working is your only way to survive. He’s obviously a poisonous bag of shit, but he knows how to press all the right buttons with the oppressed.

american "liberals" (not even liberals in the original sense) are idiots, but to me the lesser evil. they at least have "good intentions", even though these often backfire from, as you put it, "a mild and patronisingly educated approach"
whereas trump is a fucking bastard but manipulates the poor extremely well in order to benefit himself
case in point: i have a phone number from a battleground state (i'm not there but sill have the number), and for some reason was getting nonstop trump campaign texts all day. "they think you're garbage!" was a massive button they pushed in the final days. get out the vote, take someone with you, "will you stop her?". kept getting links to townhalls with elon musk. relentless (and infuriating, to me). a play on emotions, cults of personality, nonstop intensity whipping up the crowd into a frenzy
the only texts i got from harris were polite requests for money. super fucking lame
i'll still vote blue no matter who because here we always end up with a binary choice. there are no real third parties much less one that represents me. and while liberals asked people during covid to stay at home, they also were quick to activate unemployment insurance, debt and eviction moratoriums, food banks, and public health systems. both sides sent the support payments (that we're still paying for today via inflation, instead of billing the rich for it) but the fucking asshole wanted his own signature in them. the vanity of the fucking bastard. his signature
anyway, the tyrant arrives to the masses perceived as their savior today, but we know how that will end up tomorrow. after that, maybe it will be the time you get your chance.
i don't know where i'll be by then. maybe buried at sea lol
