Bernie Bros and Male Socialists Versus 'Meritocrats' (i.e. fantasists) and Establishment Democrats


Why are so many Bernie Sanders fans, men? Why are they dismissed as 'bros', and why do some male socialists have such disregard for the DNC, particularly the Clintons, to the extent that many were pledging to vote for Trump over Hillary Clinton?

Could it be it's because we still live in a society in which men are expected to be 'bread-winners' and women still want them to make more money than them, despite the ostensible (i.e. FAKE) support for gender equality preached by liberals? And thus, could it be that men have more of a clue of the types of unethical shit that men are required to do to become rich, than many women do? After all, look at the heinous likes of Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, and other rich men. Their wives are 'saints', right? Why? Because ignorance is bliss, and if one marries a wealthy (and, THUS, unethical man) one has the excuse of plausible deniability with respect to their husband and boyfriends misdeeds.

There is NO SUCH THING as a good rich man (unless he was born with a silver spoon, in other words, the Prince Charming, or Bruce Wayne, bullshit fantasy..., and those men may not be evil, but they *are* spoiled brats with ZERO clue about life). Male socialists realise that, which is why they are ambivalent about the DNC and the FALSE idea of the 'meritocracy' and the Disneyesque fantasy that it somehow pays to be ethical.

Do you know why so many people like Trump, despite his obnoxious personality, his misogyny, his racism, his criminality, and general loathsomeness? Because he inadvertently tells us the TRUTH about the world as IT IS, *even* (if fact, often, *especially*) when he's lying.

The US establishment HATE Trump because he's the true face of America writ large. He doesn't hide his wretchedness. He doesn't really hide the fact that he's a greedy, selfish, tax-dodging, Putin-loving, 'war is okay if it's in the US's interest' stating, chauvinist pig and former slum-lord. He IS the TRUE face of America, and, to be fair, most of the capitalist Western world, including my own country, the UK. The US, a country built off the back of trans-Atlantic slavery and the forced removal of Indigenous Americans, IS NOT 'better than Trump'. It IS Trump.

And the ONLY way it can escape that TRUTH, is by embracing full-scale, egalitarian, anti-'meritocratic', anti-bullshit-American Dream, SOCIALISM and COLLECTIVISATION.
