Trade You

Chill Uncategorized

LOL, where’d they find this dipshit? Of course many people look down on the trades.

Try this: see how an upper middle class or striving-to-be upper middle class family reacts when their son or daughter tells the parental units that their ambition is to be an HVAC tech or a plumber rather than a lawyer or an HR specialist, etc. I’ll tell you, the reaction will not be pretty.

A friend of mine in the UK was dating what there is called a “joiner” but here would be called a carpenter. Her parents were enraged that she was dating someone “below her station.” Her friends were appalled. Same would be true in the US, just with somewhat different class connotations.

He turned out to be a gobshite, but not because he was a joiner.

Glower Power

The elite and wannabe-elite left believes this because love and sex are, for them, actually about power. That’s how they see it and that’s the use to which they put those human experiences. They can’t imagine it could be for or about anything else.

That 98%+ of the world does not and never will think this way about any of it does not and never will occur to the elite and wannabe-elite left.

That’s why they got so incensed when Warren Ellis slept with a bunch of women without keeping what they saw as his end of the bargain: he did not fairly trade power and advancement for sex, so he was branded as an abuser. This, in the liberal mind, is the abuse.
