       Maybe you have heard of the Crabs in a bucket mentality. The idea is you have a bunch of Crabs in a bucket. Whenever one tries to escape the bucket. The others pull it back down. And attempt to escape themselves.America has had this issue too. Poverty mentality, the idea that you should stick to "your own". And not better yourself. A twisted form of loyalty to your roots. Success is a bad thing because it's a tool of "The Man" and success would make you an oppressor and agent of "The Man"

       I remember a time when upward social mobility was a promise and not a joke. What made America the greatest country in the world was the lack of social, racial or political stigma. Covid changed that. But to be honest I was seeing a shift towards more classist behaviour as early as the turn of the millennium.Not having "the right background" or the right connections stopped you from finding work. It was disturbing and frankly unamerican to see. I have no idea how younger people navigate it.

       When I was younger I was able to prove through hard work and determination that I was the right guy for the job. No one cared that I came from a poorer family than them. Or that I didn't have the right friends to kiss ass too. I just worked and was rewarded. But the ghouls in the swamp don't want that. Because talent might show them up. And they have become comfortable in their positions. They don't want the american spirit of competition.

       The Swamp want a form of communism where they can dictate where power, and resources can go. And where it goes is a circle. A glorified game of Hot Potato where the Potato is cold and we are lied to that it's hot and we can't handle the potato but the swamp and the super rich can. Whilst they all chuckle about how stupid we all are behind our backs. Real capitalism requires real failure and the real possibility of success and betterment of one's self. We do not have that in America currently.

       Bailing banks out and printing them more money so their failures are continually subsidized with no motivation for actual success is nowhere near capitalism. Nor is funding vaccine providers and giving them the lawful power to simply ignore any consequence of their actions whilst regular people are told they aren't spending right and need to stop being so wasteful.As I said, the Swamp want to remain rich and in power. Never upstaged by better people. True oppression for everyone else.
