      I hate that fuckin' analogy. Literally the entire premise of it is that you should blame the lower classes for holding back the exceptional, or best-positioned individuals in society for social stagnation, and that anyone who would take note of socially unequal outcomes is worthy of suspicion. This is not the crabs in the bucket fighting amongst themselves in order to prevent the escape of "the exceptional ones". This is the guy who caught them all putting a fuckin lid on the bucket just to make sure they don't get out.

        A better analogy for us is “pulling the ladder up behind them”

        We have the resources for everyone to “get out of the bucket”. We have a ladder to get everyone up. Certain class traitors will get up to the top and then pull the ladder up behind them (or put the lid on as you say).

        But really, as you say, there’s a force outside the bucket pushing the crabs back in because it plans to eat them and extract from them. So the crabs need to help each other up the ladder AND defeat the outside force that contains them. Also they are human beings not crabs. This is why analogies don’t really make sense past a certain point, and ideological models are just that.

    I used to think that people were rational people, but then I realized that a lot of people are just flat-out terrible and fly into a tantrum at being made to think about the consequences of their actions, or the idea that other people are better than them. That is the locus of "owning the libs", leftists are better people than them, they are malformoid cancers on the world and they HATE IT when we hold up the mirror.

    They don't hate you, they just hate you being right.

    It’s never going to pass. The states GOP has this weird group who runs everything and they haven’t e forward them bill.

    However just like Texas hiding it’s horrific agenda behind the succession BS It IS a clever smoke screen for some of the other shit the NC Republicans are planning.
