The tragedy of the United States is that a lot of the political 'left' in the U.S - are hostile to white, working class interests,
Do you think so? It seems like the Left are often hostile to the working class culturally, while the Right are hostile toward its interests.
I agree with you. Sorry if the background meaning/context & implications of my post did not highlight this for you.
The AFFLUENT left are hostile toward the working class, culturally. When Bernie Sanders rand for president we found out that there is a non-affluent left, too, and they aren't cooperating with the establishment democratic party. It means the republicans are working their shrinking minority into wins. The establishment dems should, if the system worked the way people think it works, work with the non-affluent left, but they won't. Because the establishment dems are actually rightwing, affluent, liberal-in-name-only republican-lite.

You sum the situation up nicely.
Liberals want to appear virtuous & feel good about themselves as a result of their feigned & fake virtuousity. But they are just big spoilt babies in a lot of ways.

I know I moan sometimes about the decisions I have made & the ramifications they have had for me in terms of what other people have or have not done. But I do think about the good parts sometimes, particularly in periods of better mood/less depression.
This is me recounting some of my better memories of bad, overall experiences. Bad experiences for me also have good parts & I enjoy thinking about the good parts.
I like how some of the authoritarians in my life have tried to erase my identity, acting like the Nazis they say they despise. Also, the bosses of Homer in this video are German.

Another one I like
You and I We fit together like a glove on hand That's right Don't you know That I would gladly take you anywhere You wanted to go You and me We are as close as three-part harmony Wouldn't you agree And if by chance Our romance ended it would surely be The end of me Some people might say I'm infatuated But I don't care Cause they really don't know They'll never see or hear The things I do with you So far as I'm concerned They all can go to hell
