The basic situation here is the two Americas. Two CLASSES (yes, classes). On one side, the college-educated and post-grad professionals who make up the software developer and digital engineering class, the media class (all of it, on every layer and in every sector of it), the government bureaucrat and legislator class, the lawyer and medical class, the management class, the university professor class, in short <\/span><\/span>all the folk <\/i><\/span><\/span>who do <\/span><\/span>just fine<\/i><\/span><\/span> thank you, armed with their laptops, during a politically driven \u201c<\/span><\/span>Lockdown<\/i><\/span><\/span>.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side of the Great American Divide are the folk who do farming, manual labor (construction, etc.), services, hair salons, trucking, hauling, electrical and plumbing repair, small retail either as owner-operators or employees, gas station operators and mechanics, small grocers and cafe owner-operators, people who depend on way or another on living\u2014not virtual\u2014walk-in customers, etc. Included in this class are the low-wage workers of the \u201cwinners\u201d of the Lockdown Covid crisis, all the people working in low-level-functionary jobs for Walmart, Amazon, and other <\/span><\/span>giant<\/i><\/span><\/span> retail operations that directly benefit from Lockdown.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>hatred<\/i><\/span><\/span> that lofts over the heads of these two camps, which, like electricity itself, rides on polarity, that hatred is deep and <\/span><\/span>out-of-control<\/i><\/span><\/span>. The battery for it resides within the professional classes. Which class hires professional anarchists or hit men to fan the flames of the other is a subject for investigation. But a man like Soros is very very good at this dirty work.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever. The specter of totalitarianism, however, resides with the educated classes\u2014an exact reversal of 1917. The \u201ceducated” of course form the \u201cliberal\u201d and now <\/span><\/span>liberal totalitarian<\/i><\/span><\/span> Democratic Party, and more specifically its <\/span><\/span>ugly<\/i><\/span><\/span> DNC head. They are urban and ostensibly urbane. More exactly they are cosmopolitan: they firmly believe the world is their oyster. They relate to their exact counterparts in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Central, South and East Asia far easier and more naturally than they do with the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>untervolk<\/i><\/span><\/span> of their own country. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The main point is privilege has been expanded over many decades to include most people who describe themselves as educated, especially professionally educated, who are then employed with laptops in a wide variety of \u201cprofessions.” But by itself this does not explain <\/span><\/span>the depth of the hatred<\/i><\/span><\/span> these people have come ineluctably to feel for all those who live on the other side of their sunny side of the street. Hilary named them: the deplorables. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The educated professional classes work for\u2014get their money from\u2014specific deep, structural class interests. For abbreviation\u2019s sake, the Fortune 500. Now the Fortune 500 are not new entities. Some existed when Marx wrote <\/span><\/span>Das Capital<\/i><\/span><\/span>. They were then, and have always been, globalists. After 150+ years of global growth they want to bury the nation-state and the \u201cinternational\u201d nation-state system. And now they have a big constituency: all the non-deplorables of the world. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The reason they, the globalist class leadership, are desperate (to put it mildly) to rid themselves of Trump no later than January 2121, is that Trump\u2019s put the brakes on their world-governance project. This is now a fight <\/span><\/span>to the death<\/i><\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
