I wish that victim-blaming quote would once and for all fade into it's rightful place of crap writing. It's as if that Canadian never spoke with an actual impoverished American.

Ah, thanks for the heads-up. I tried to understand what you mean and found this: https://jacobinmag.com/2018/05/americans-class-politics-pist... Seems somewhat reasonable to me.

But at the same time this statement:

> When people can’t easily identify who will be the ultimate beneficiary of a particular state program or policy — that is, whether the rich or the poor will come out on top — then support for that program plummets.

makes me wonder how this should change in times of industrial grade trolling and disinformation campaigns. And if the compass is so fragile, why is that?
