Thanks. Those of us who aren't privileged enough to think like this really appreciate your help ushering in fascism.

After the rise of fascism in Europe, many wondered how such collective madness was possible. Each country had its own motivations, but they all shared the lack of opportunities to prosper materially (that lack of opportunities could be real or perceived, it doesn't matter), that led to desperation and made it easier to buy into the discourse of "someone else is to blame for your ills, attack him and prosperity will return." That's why things like public healthcare were established throughout Europe after the war.
When fascism rises, blaming the people solves nothing, blaming a system that doesn't care enough for them usually gives better results
