      as for poor work being less valued by the market...this is true. it is work that requires less skill and thus can be done by almost anyone, and so more people means more productivity which means the products of that labour are worth less. there is nothing wrong with that, doesn't mean the people DOING the work are any less valuable. in the eyes of god all men are equal.

      As a liberal I too have this major criticism. What made our economy strong in the past was the upward mobility of the lower/working class into the middle class, not the middle class into the upper middle class, which is what they want. You never hear liberals talking about labor rights or trust busting anymore. It's all "tax the rich so I can have free college and healthcare" Granted, a single payer system would be a benefit to the working class in theory, but that's never the actual motivation for advocating for single payer. They talk about income inequality but it's always that the rich are making too much money, not that the poor are not making enough money to survive. In fact, I have never heard a clear answer from the left on what a working class person would need in order to be living a good life while still in the working class. It's always "learn to code" as if we don't need people to manufacture steel.

    It's not "overtly racist" to disagree with the platitude "diversity is our strength." The way the phrase is used is like you mentioned _"the Left's insistence on keeping culture separate through denouncing cultural appropriation,"_ among other things. We want the people who come to America to become Americans, not to establish competing, insular enclaves or colonies or political interests within America. Different immigrant peoples bring elements of their culture which may be adopted if they are compatible with our fundamental values. But _solidarity_ is not just our strength, it _is_ strength.

    While "diversity is our strength" has always been a massive lie, it *used to be* almost half true in America. The greatest strength of the US was its ability to rapidly integrate and assimilate the large numbers of foreigners who explicitly wanted to become American. Those migrants would bring foreign ideas, perspectives and cultural quirks with them, sure, but often within as little as a single generation, the descendants of those migrants would literally be Americans; feeling as much a part of the experiment as their Anglo and Indian countrymen.
    This is why the socialist hydra is, if anything, an even greater threat to America than it normally is to the rest of humanity; socialism thrives on mistrust, hatred and division; it targets America at the welds that a normal country does not have. Now that the numbers of migrants coming in have exploded beyond all reason and the government actively preaches Anglophobia and division, those welds are under ever-increasing stress. This is also why the same tactics took much longer to start working against the UK. England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales used to be normal countries bound together in confederation; each home to a single people with deep and ancient roots that could not be sufficiently wedged apart when the hydra targeted relatively minor differences like class.

    Having a problem with the phrase "diversity is our strength" is not racist. The reason why people have a problem with what Oliver said is because this idea that diversity or "the melting pot" is a strength for America because it brings all different races, cultures, and beliefs to this country is not what makes this country strong. It wouldn't matter if everyone in America was white, or black Indian or Chinese. What matters is that we all believe that the constitution and the bill of rights hold value worth defending and living by. That's the only thing that matters. And when it comes to that, diversity is our downfall. If we allow people into this country that don't believe in these values and have no intention of committing themselves or their children into believing in them, then diversity will destroy this country. And this is exactly what we're seeing. At the end of the day, the modern extreme, ethno centric right would never have focused on race if traditional American values were actually cherished by the people coming to this country. We all know that 100 years ago when this country had a major influx of immigrants, there were major issues with all these different groups understanding and getting along with each other. But at the end of the day, they all at least believed that they were blessed to be living in America and were thankful for the chance to live in a free country. Today, we get people illegally crossing into this country and then complaining that they aren't given enough money or opportunity. We have first and second generation migrants burning our flag and vowing to destroy "American culture". We are being flooded with people that hate our country, yet want all the benefits of it. This is what diversity has now given us.

That being said, Biden comes from a middle class family in Scranton, Pennsylvania & has fought for labor rights throughout his political career. Trump comes a rich New York City landlord family & during his business career, he profited from overseas cheap labor & stiffed out contractors in the United States. Meanwhile, during his political career, he put anti-union lawyers in charge of the NLRB & cut regulations that kept workers & consumers safe & prevented the type of wage theft, he was a part of.

However, that category is currently empty as every single member has been removed based on some technicality (religion, race, gender, political views, etc.).

    This is a conflation of proximate versus ultimate causes. The Peacock isn't consciously choosing to grow an elaborate tail to show off its status. It has no idea why it feels compelled to flaunt that. It just feels good to do, like feeling hungry or feeling attracted to peahens. Nature doesn't rely on the will of its creatures to work its evolution. Everyone might have a dopaminergic compulsion to engage in leisurely work, but only those with status can afford to do so (and therefore, do so). The signalling happens automagically and conveys accurate information. The theory holds.

    4:46 so, this kind of hammers home the idea that socialists, breadtubers, whatever you want to classify them as, really are a class of their own. They hate capitalism, which means hating the rich (or even the slightly well off). They hate government and abuse of power (unless of course it bends to their will). They hate anyone with authority that isn't theirs. And lastly, they hate the working class that doesn't share their sensibilities.
    They really can't relate to or empathize with *anyone*. On one hand, I guess it's good, since it means they never really will have any power, because they are so open about their hatred, prejudice, bigotry and loathing, but it's also kind of sad and pathetic.

    The same criticism that every revolutionary sense Marx has criticized the working-class of having no "political consciousness". Because seldom do those Working Class want to remake the world they just want a better but much the same as a world that they currently inhabit. Just with more material or cultural needs meet. Marcuse came up with the cope of "false consciousness". Every revolution has been the purview of either the aristocracy or the bohgeois.

      Diversity intrinsically means less proportionately of whoever is most common.
      Like, that's the definition.
      Going from 8/10 people being in the majority to 6/10 being in the majority to 4/10 being a plurality and there not being a majority, is the population diversifying. Like, that's literally just what that means. You don't diversify a portfolio by buying more of the stock that you already have the most of. That'd... That'd be the opposite. You diversify a portfolio by getting rid of some of the stock you have the most of to replace it with some stock that you don't have much or any of. That's just what diversity means.
      I personally don't support the demographic replacement of white people. I think white people deserve to have our own homelands like everyone else does. I consider the opposing view, that white people should be ground into a minority in their homelands due to the historic guilt of their race, to be genocidaly racist against whites.
      So, yeah, "replacing white people is our strength" makes me automatically dismiss everything you have to say, because you're either a retard or you hate me.

    Everyone talks about the working-class angst or conspiracy theories, but they all ignore the young men killing themselves, thus perpetuating the "kicking them down" part.

      The silent part no one wants to say out loud is that men are treated as expendable and the greats that created the good times of history were inherently partly motivated the pursuit of finding a mate and or supporting a family. The carrot on the stick is a woman, thats why they usually arent send to combat zones or subjected to a draft. Killing pair bonding and the resulting cohort of sexless single young men then becomes a threat to society. Young men removing themselves instead of excesses of military age men going clockwork orange is what keeps the status quo.
