"The biggest success of it all has been bringing out the "Inner Facist" of a few underpaid workers"

[Stinky The Clown]

Some teevee pundit, commenting on the "success" of the TSA airport screening process. I heard this on teevee yesterday ..... someplace.

3. I kinda think you missed Stinky's point.

Lots of underpaid people--cops, prison guards, many low-ranking military etc., are happy to do the bidding of the fascists. The Brownshirts are never rawn from the wealthy classes.

5. but then again they never miss an opportunity to spin and demonize the oppressed as the problem..

[Jackpine Radical]

6. Yes. It's just that many low-wage people are happy to join the rich

in blaming the oppressed. In fact, nobody would be oppressed if the rich had to do their own oppressing.

8. the bottom income 80%.. possess 7% of americas wealth.. that's Fucked up, quit playing word games

9. I'm not playing word games. I'm addressing what I consider to be a serious issue.

The state of the world would be a lot better if there were solidarity among the have-nots. Instead, you have idiots running around with the bumpers of their jalopies held on with old Bush stickers and teabagger logos, all too willing to blame the misery of their lives on those slightly below them on the economic ladder instead of looking upward to see where all the piss is coming from.

2. Nothing grounbreaking there. Mall security and gated community guards

have been dickheads since forever. Something about a little authority+$8.50/hr does it.

4. You could pay them 50 cents an hour

And you would get takers if they got the chance to "bust heads".

7. A well-known psychological dynamic, in whihc the abused

identify with their abusers. Anger is the most easily misdirected of emotions.
