21. Building coalitions
Tue Apr 29, 2025, 07:11 PM

is going to take some new creativity. It's a brutal "us vs them," winner-take-all system. Yay team. Our whole culture is based on competition, us vs them, I Got Mine--on winning. There are no incentives for compromise and cooperation. Take, take, take is the model. Win at any cost.

In your previous post, you diss the Libs for not being kinder and gentler to young men looking for a better deal in life. Libs have been the only ones who really cared. BUT we do not have the power, as power is perceived in this culture.

If things have been so good in the 20th century, why are the working class men (and women) so angry now? Seems contradictory.
