I keep seeing Harris ads with this line about Americans "not just getting by, but getting ahead."
Ahead of who? 
Ahead of who! 
USians don't even bat an eye at this. Their ideology has created a mass delusion that causes them to believe "everyone can get ahead" in the competition of all against all. But "getting ahead" necessarily neans someone is behind!
Libs will deny this if confronted. They can live with this dissonance because they fundementally do not see the people behind as human beings. People behind have moral failings and therefore could never be ahead - no matter what you try to do for them. The people ahead obviously deserve it and are the only real people anyway so they can't even see how obviously anti-social the entire concept of "getting ahead" is. Deeply psychopathic culture.
Capitalism? Or financialized hyper-calvinism? We discuss the issues on... Hexbear!
The differences are getting harder and harder to distinguish, especially when "elect" failsons keep failing upwards and the working class suffers no matter how hard they work.
