Bourdain: Liberals scorn working class

Interesting, one of them accidentally got it. But I bet it falls on deaf ears. Their well trained snowflake brigade would break down in tears at the very idea that the un-understanding barbarians actually may have a point.

    The "neutrals" actually couldn't even get into Hell., much less Heaven, apparently:
    " 'The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.'" This supposed quotation is not actually in Dante's work, but is based upon a similar one. In the Inferno, Dante and his guide Virgil, on their way to Hell, pass by a group of dead souls outside the entrance to Hell. These individuals, when alive, remained neutral at a time of great moral decision. Virgil explains to Dante that these souls cannot enter either Heaven or Hell because they did not choose one side or another. They are therefore worse than the greatest sinners in Hell because they are repugnant to both God and Satan alike, and have been left to mourn their fate as insignificant beings neither hailed nor cursed in life or death, endlessly travailing below Heaven but outside of Hell."

    Consider THAT implication! The homeless ones.

    When obama won, he rammed through his racist, statist agenda. I think now that the deplorables won, we should do the same. Forget this "healing of America" thing.

    I can never remember which circle of Hell Dante reserved for those who remained neutral in times of great moral crises. Do you know? It was one of the hottest, I believe. Maybe THE hottest.

    But it is a war of ideas and people need to take one side or the other. Statists plan on taking over unless we stand up against them. Trump will slow down the march to socialism for 4 years, but the proponents of socialism will regroup for a new attack in 2020

    Not just "see which one will win", but to participate in bringing about the complete and unconditional surrender of The Leftist/Liberals. They don't respond well to reason and rational thought.

    Yes, it is amazing how AR cast the personality types we see today, which is proof they have really been around for over 50 years now.

    Note that this is what they love to do, "bucket" people with labels and then make some associated "bad things" and it becomes instant classification. That was what the whole "alt right" thing was about, to tag Trump as racists and mean. It sputtered out, but they will keep trying...it's how they rule, the Obamanation was an artists with it, usually. Now he has degenerated into a boob.

    The issue is he is just a sample of what is out there, and he is one of the 95% or so of "celebrities" who love the capitalist system when they get paid for movies, music, or writing, but hate it for everything else.

    They are casting about for a new way to manipulate, and one is to do the "we really should be friends" and then the alternative by making enemy's and doing "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". We have to see which one will win.

    I guess they still think conservatives are pretty stupid, to believe their honeyed lines!

    It's worth clicking through to the Reason article. I'd like to ask him what he means by Eastern liberal and gun-country people. He says he spent time in gun country. He clearly identifies as outside it and inside the Eastern liberal camp.

    "If you look around the world (in the Philippines, in England), the rise of nationalism, the fear of the Other. When people are afraid and feel that their government has failed them they do things that seem completely mad and unreasonable to those of who are perhaps under less pressure."

    I think grouping people according to gun-country vs Eastern liberal is another form of the same out-group fear the fuels nationalism. I think nationalism will decrease on its own due to technology, but it remains to be seen what will happen with authoritarianism and identity-group hostility.

    Thanks Nick for posting,
    Hip and cool New Yauwker gets that insulting 60+ million people is not taken so kindly. Apparently he is aware of this because of his travels around the country. The rest of the lib/eliteist's are like the most of the guests Mrs Henry Reardon invited to her aniversary party. This guy reminds me of Paul Larkin (edit) who pretended to be Hanks friend.
    Only to sweep in and destroy Reardon Iron Ore.

    Hi seer,
    It is like the limbo dance of ethics for the Leftist's.
    How low can you go------

    Yet he still insults us by proposing more of the same. His suggestion is that the statists achieve their goals just by concealing their disgust of equal freedom for people who do not voluntarily consent to slavery by condescending sociopaths. He is even more disgusting.

    I think he's just trying to get in the good graces of the conservatives, don't you? You gotta watch out for the Libs; they sometimes have ulterior motives that principled Republicans would know nothing about.

    At any rate, on the upside, it does reveal that, in fact, the Leftist/Libs are becoming fractionated.

    He doesn't understand that much of the fly over country is tired of the destruction the libretards have done to destroy their ability to take care for their families and loved ones. He does have a clear understanding that insulting someone is not the way to win their vote.

    “We should be breaking bread with each other and finding common ground whenever possible.”
    Especially for you and your pals, I will bring a special recipe of hemlock tea, you smug, condescending, elitist, ignorant savage.
    Your alleged talent is cooking. You have no wisdom or experience that qualifies you to place your perverted political ideas above the rights of all individuals guaranteed by the constitution. You are dependent on those fine individuals who think they voted against statist acts that you and your pals impose. They are not dependent on you or any of your looting statist pals.
    You propose more of the same compromising rubbish that has destroyed individual liberty and crippled free markets.
    Get out of the way you sanctimonious jackass.
