Leftist rant no. 2334 (with a whack at religion included)

My unpleasant paternal grandfather (he himself a wealthy man) used to say: “Poverty has to keep them (the rabble) in line”.

It is interesting to note that the morality imposed on the poor is, of course, only suitable to the poor.
The rich, enlightened as they are, with their religious backers, have no need for such celestial restraints.
Mother Teresa was very much opposed to divorce, but not for her friend Diana Spencer who was “obviously unhappy in her marriage”.
Religion is, and always has been, used to separate society into rich and poor.
In all American elections the majority of people in the poorest states consistently vote against their own economic interests, while being riled up by very clever Republican strategists with bogus issues like god, guns and gays.
It is considered in bad taste to quote one the biggest mass-murders in history, but I think uncle Joe made a very good observation when he said; “Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited,and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division,and from the antagonism between poor and rich, means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.”

The conservative mindset is a deplorable one.
When you unpack the relentless propaganda and smoke-screens you will find what lies at the heart of this way of thinking.

It goes like this: “I’ve got mine and you can all go fuck yourselves”.
