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.
I gotta get ahead of all these random SOBs so I can be loaded and then stunt on everybody and be so rich I can give money away to help all the losers that I fucked over to get where I am.
not so much that they are made whole. I gotta drive a Lexus and wear nicer clothes and send my kids to a school with a Latin motto and shit.
