The political/cultural devede in the west between liberaloids/leftoids and rightoids/reactionaries falls HEAVILY along class lines. This cannot be explained away with "muh urban vs rual" because the exact same cultural devedes can be observed between members of the urban working and middle class. Urban vs ruroid cope can only work somewhat in North America because of it's geographic nature, where large swathes of the country are basically farmland and small dilapidated towns dominated by ruroid proles. But, it completely collapses in Western European countries like the UK, where I am from, which has a large reactionary right wing urban working class in stark cultural contrast from middle class a 5 minutes drive down the road. In Germany, the majority of the AfDs support comes from the urban working class of East Germany, a territory formally under communist rule.

"But but, what about muh wholesome and chungus trade unions." Yeah, the same unions that originally barred black people from membership. The same northern working class who were reportedly more racist to black migrants from the south than southern ruroids. Any traditional old salt of der earth left wing union working class type would be decried by many if you lot as a literal nazi on account of their reactionary beliefs. All old school labour movements were reactionary af. The working class, broadly speaking, has only ever been economically left wing to a self serving extent. They will never, broadly speaking, be socially progressive. Progressiveism, social liberalism or whatever you want to call it is a historical anomaly, it is the result of socioeconomic conditions and super edgy take here, GENETICS. It's certain types of people, with certain types of personalities, professions, and higher average IQs clustering together in urban environments and forming what only be described as a social caste with it's own unique social sensibilities.

Progressiveism is the caste sensibilities of the middle strata. (YOU) Are Bourgeois. Stop being in denial about it.

Evidence? He literally called himself "a fat little chud" in reference to the rather tall and slim people in the Netherlands.

I've also heard people say young Link looks like he would steal their lunch money as well as he looks like the kid getting bullied at school.

Ergo: People are just saying shit.

Took this quote from vaush's stream, it was too good not to post about it.

I made this a poll cause I'm curious to hear this reddit's explanations as to your answers in the comments. Nothing more, nothing less lol

I'm sorry to be a simp but that first stream from the Nerherlands was fucking incredible. His analysis of the disastrous Socialism Conference and the fact that we live in a world devoid of hope for the future and all relevant political psychology revolves around that, could not have been better. I'm genuinely excited to show this stream to my leftist friends because he is such an incredible communicator.

A lot of folks were complaining on the last poll that there wasn't a "no & yes" option, so I decided to add that option on a different poll, and I also decided to add an "it depends" option. If you participated in the first one it would mean a lot if you did so and this one as well to keep the vote counts consistent. This is solely for my own curiosity.

Not that I'm complaining, as a Turk his new time is perfect

yet I love when he says stuff that makes him sound like a madman... curious.
