right wing rhetorical brainwashing has made them internalize every single mindset that isn't "every man for himself" as communism. they don't even know what "communism" means, and they don't need to. their puppetmasters don't want them to know. all they need to know is that it's anti-america and it needs to be eradicated from the earth

Seems to me we're past that. The problem with the "fuck you, I've got mine" principle was the "I've got mine" bit, which requires holding something back from the ultra wealthy. If you can distill it down to a simple "fuck you", you've got yourself a much more low-maintenance philosophy. By turning human suffering into a desired commodity, you can appease your voter base without giving them anything of value.
