Calling people you don't know losers is part of the problem you mention and maybe it is only adding to it. If people see themselves as loser they become losers and start living like losers. The losers will probably see you as a loser and then everyone is a loser and we end up in a world with losers.
What should we do with losers and who will decide which people are losers and who are not?
Not so wise words from a loser.
I don't have that kind of power. More importantly, you're highlighting a point that has always fascinated me. The focus should never be on what other people think of you. When it comes to making wise political decisions you should choose the candidate and platform that covers meaningful issues and not just one.
What I, and others think of you should not matter at all. This is something juveniles worry about, it's not something adults are supposed to worry about.
I'm not calling you conservative, but as aside I've noticed that conservatives tend to care what liberals think of them. Liberals don't take conservative criticism seriously and instead focus on protection and influencing the culture.
Until conservatives stop caring what liberal voters think of them they we will remain sitting ducks for terrible politicians.
People like to talk about the death of this or that. What we're really witnessing is the death of substance and substance has been on life support for decades. There are few adults anymore. People have become petty and infantile.
I hate to say it, but as a white person I am embarrassed of white people who moan about their imaginary persecution. It just proves the critics right.
White people have criticized every other race and culture and have been lecturing the world about how they should live for decades. The minute they face any cultural criticism in return they collapse in a swoon.
I even went through some of that in my own head when I was young and naive, so I get the impulse. I also understand that it was mainly due to my petty tribal instincts and inflated ego.
I grew out of it because I realized it's not imoportant nor is it a threat to my existence. I simply don't care. Policy is what matters to me.
It's why I can't have much sympathy for the so called working class. Too many of them have done it to themselves. They've made religious and cultural issues more important than any other issue, and then they want to complain about their shrinking income.
Working class populism has really become a cover for racial and cultural animosity. It's why so many conservatives loved the government goodies but turned against those programs the minute Democrats became the party of Civil Rights.
They've been paying for it ever since.
