Why does it seem that many w/c Americans are so right wing??

[London_Calling]

Do you think Britain was so different at the height of Victoria's empire? Where did the 'white man's burden' come from, gunboat diplomacy, putting down the wogs and fuzzy-wuzzy's across Africa for their own good?

None of that was done without the support of the British public.

Fwiw, I think part of what enables imperialism is religion, in the USA - as it was in Britain before - Christian-based morality aids the imperial agenda. And the religion itself is right wing.

Even today it disgusts me that just a few years ago the British public (those that voted anyway) were happy to see in the war criminal Blair for another term in office. And in the news vastly more time is given over to mourning the hand full of British proffesional soldiers that die evey month in battle than the 100's of Afghan men women and children dying every week while cowering in their mud-brick homes in a bullshit war that makes no sense at all, and all as if We in the West are the victims. For me it's unconcionable, I've lost my respect for us Brits as a whole in the last few years.

And you're average Joe America thinks Reagan was a great guy. "He defeated communism". I find it horrendously difficult not to growl through rage-locked jaws the word "kunts" in response to the whinnings of those people.

Both our people basicaly suck, it is necessary to face this fact full on, or hawk our collective flem onto the graves of the hundreds of thousands we've allowed our governments, airforces and armies to murder over the past few decades.

Let's do away with the populations of both countries and get new ones, better disposed towards progressive ideas.

lol!

The Democrats aren't 'left-wing' you plant-pot.

America is a corporate republic, Leftism was crushed back in the 30's and rooted out further by Macarthys Red Brigades.

All that's left is their screeching gun-toting hatred of any concept of investment in the American community as a whole as that would be Stalinism apaprently, and would mean blacks, Mexicans and dead-beats getting something for nothing, lazy commie-lovin scum that they are.

So the op is a trick question?

Seems like the answer is, so many working class americans are right wing, because all Americans are right wing.

That's not my point at all. Individuals are different from 'masses', but Average Joe Yank or Average Joe Blighty can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned, no time for the whining "Ew some rightless immigrant prepared to work for a fraction of what I am for doing dirty thankless work to send money back to hungry relatives in some loser country a government we voted for bombed or had couped at some point in recent history is taking my jaarb, ew that's so unfair" bollocks.

Here, zzzzwwwwzzwwww, that's the worlds smallest violin playing for Average Working Class Joe Yankee. Frankly I've far more time to hear what Average Jo'hamad Iraqi has to say right now. Their thoughts on left wing politics is far more meaningful, interesting and important in my humble if mouthy opinion.

But your approach is counterproductive. You're not going to get anywhere by shutting of listening to everyone you need at the negotiating table to make the things you are concerned with stop. All you are doing with the "tude" is turning people off and raising the level of misunderstanding and violence.

So who are you, 'Average Left Wing Artistic Dilettante'?

Another reason: racism... not disconnected to all of the above
