“Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.” — Glenn Greenwald
That can first be seen as hilarious considering the source but it’s really not and parroting and covering up the abuses that will come either way by resisting or giving up.
Gold bugs and the history of miners amongst other sectors including woman rights that they had to fight for while violence and cronyism came from the so called elite. The ones with a lot of money and connections and paid or bribed those that would do their bidding. Bosses, the corrupt judicial system, the media.
What did they face if they didn’t obey usually going after the leaders or spoke up and organizers first with threats and being arrested and physical violence while in custody as a example to the rest. If that didn’t stop them they had all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. Next as in the days of miners and other fields was being replaced by what they called Scabs coming from other city’s or country’s. Preferably country’s where customs and language were different so they wouldn’t band together.
That’s why they began to organize and form picket lines to draw a line or border.
So if going after the ones they thought gave them the most trouble didn’t work they’d use cronyism to stop the picket lines and threaten to arrest them next. They would try to starve their family’s, they would try to evict them from land they had to stay to work the mines.
They stood firm and sometimes got help as the word got out to back then. They had food shiped to them, money, they resisted evictions in the face of violence and arrests by standing together.
Were not seeing that these days but the lawless, use of scabs sometimes not even knowing or open borders to get their way, and cronyism is out of control.
Even things like watching a father of a child who was brutality raped in a school that allows males in the girls bathrooms goes to a board meeting wanting answers what are they going to do to protect their children and who’s accountable while in their charge gets ganged up of by the same criminal board that did not even report it and concealed the offender to another school who then attacked again covering up a crime that endangered others should of been arrested, not the father of the victim in a known by medical forensics factually occured.
Why did these parents sit there and do or say nothing instead of stand up and demand with him answers instead of let them silence him and persecute him. They could of had the upper hand if they stood up and spoke up together not just let them pick them off to show them who’s in charge and what happens when they disobey, they could of after a temporary turbulence keeping their demands and staying together maybe even school boycotts made them back down and took back charge of their schools. They still can.
I’m sure miners of today esp in third world country’s are still having issues with safety, hours, compensation with injury’s and pay.
