I really don’t think this is true. People’s lived experiences don’t direct them to these positions. It’s our lying media, and lying politicians who inject this shit into the populace then point to the effects of their bullshit as proof that these are real problems real Americans have issues with.
Acknowledging that the bougeroise manufacture consent through their mouth pieces in media and politics is not anti-materialist. Folks are really struggling and those who control the means of communication direct people to a scapegoat.
