Social Study finds Covid has altered Americans attitudes toward inequality and the poor

[Natural Order]

The virus, compounded by an ever widening gap in wealth dispersal, has provided the perfect environment to breed hyper-socialist attitudes.

Should be a wake up call to the capitalist elites that their system is failing, again.

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Yep. That'll happen if you completely take power out of people's hands and force them into poverty.

 

[Ophydian]

Or take one of the millions of other jobs available.

If there were millions of other jobs there wouldn’t be millions unemployed.

It’s only accelerated it. We’ve been moving toward this end game for some time. Each year it gets a bit quicker as less people move up.

The first survey was an online survey with only 453 respondents, and the followup survey was 233 of those. There are over 330 million Americans, so not sure 233 people answering an online survey is indicative of "Americans' attitude".

However, the handful of people who responded are correct in both cases. Poverty had more to do with personal failings until the government forced businesses that weren't donors to close, and incentivized people who didn't lose their jobs to go on unemployment anyway, which spells the opposite of "let's have the people who just forced us out of work and closed our business in charge of even more". We just got a taste of what that looks like and it was complete shit, and only the most ridiculous people find it appealing to have that permanently.

You only need around 1000 people for a poll to be statistically accurate. Not that this happened here but it’s best to educate you now.

Isn’t this shit confusing enough?

 

[BIKES!]

Covid taught us what Trump already amplified. The left is so inherently, evil, hypocritical and demonic that they would laud protests and violence as they still find time to cancel churches and murder babies.

No event is too big or small for the Democrat Reich to push a narrative

Maybe it's because they saw how congress, over and over (2008, QEs, and 2020) , fell all over themselves to give corporations trillions and fuck all for main street? Socialism for the rich - Capitalism for everyone else doesnt wash with what we've been feed since birth as a US citizen.

They can bail out the banks and they can bail out the corporations. The republicans And the Democrats. Should be enough for people to get rid of their tribalism and see its the same BS from both parties

The coronavirus pandemic may have altered how many people in the United States view the poor, according to new research published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. The study indicates that people became more likely to blame external factors for poverty and less likely to blame personal failings after the outbreak of the virus.

Maybe this will open the door for a more leftist/Bernie type candidate in 2024.



Discuss..

The plague did a lot for democracy and economic freedom.

I wonder what the outcome will be after Covid19 is in the history books.

Reminds me of like this saying about the Whitechapel murders/Jack the Ripper:

"Whilst we conventional Social Democrats were wasting our time on education, agitation and organisation, some independent genius has taken the matter in hand, and by simply murdering and disembowelling ... women, converted the proprietary press to an inept sort of communism."

Insane synchronicity... I was just listening to a doc on the Whitechapel murders YESTERDAY in which this quote was cited.

DUDE! What happens in the plats STAYS in the plats!
I will report you to our overlord and we will discuss this at our next meeting.
You brought this on your self.

Hail Satan

Study finds Trump has altered the minds of low IQ and blue collar Americans...

 

[Seano]

A cushy little night shift number, not exactly shoulder to shoulder in a meat processing joint. Do you think all other nations took the wrong approach?

Honestly, other than total lockdown, where literally no one can go out, there was no way we could have stopped the virus. We did shutdowns here, many wore masks, bathed in sanitizer. All events were canceled and we're still hammered with virus.

If Dear Leader said he supports socialism so would his fans

shhh, dont wake him up, he gets grouchy...

The researchers used the online Prolific platform to survey 453 Americans in April 2019 regarding their attributions of poverty and other factors.The participants were asked how important they believed various dispositional and situational factors were in explaining unemployment and poverty in the United States.

A subgroup of 233 of the original participants completed a second survey in May 2020, following the coronavirus outbreak in the United States. In the second survey, the participants also indicated the extent to which they believed the pandemic had negatively impacted the U.S. economy and other facets of life.

• Online survey
• Voluntary
• Only half the group in an uncontrolled fashion self-selected to participate a second time
• Insufficient pool to meet event the most basic requirements of larger representation for the nation

What a fucking waste of everyone's time

tradesmen

As far as I know all the industrial and construction trades are still going strong.
We are constantly looking for people, skilled tradesman and unskilled (laborer).


***If anyone here needs employment and you're near Louisville, hit me up***

 

[dreden1982]

Or take one of the millions of other jobs available.

Where tf do you live where you can just get a job whenever you want? You sound totally insulated and basing your opinions on anectdotes. I bet you're 50 and lonely haha

He's not wrong.
Most construction trades need people badly! Most of the younger people(20s and early 30s), feel above those jobs and entitled to six figures for dropping fries at McDonald's.
