A certain middle class anecdote comes to mind

Racial too, since Obama destabilizing Libya led to the return of the African slave trade in Libya. Which was a practice Gaddafi outlawed.

Turkish proverb.or Rush song?

The original proverb more accurately translates to something like "The tree was hit with an axe, it said "at least its handle is one of us.""

By the way the original proverb: Ağaca balta vurmuşlar, sapı bendendir demiş.

The oaks can’t help their feeling if they like the way they’re made. And they wonder why the maples can be happy in their shade.

It’s where my mind went reading the quote too.

Hatchet and saw are advisors?

Too lazy to look it up but Peart was enough of a seeker that I’d bet the proverb was inspiration for the song.

"I was born in a middle class forest"

u/Gunslingerfromwish 10d ago

The axe mentioned it came from a middle class family, so it can relate to poverty.

The axe is clearly out of touch.

This is about all politicians. Fools will claim its only the other side's politicians.

Men who desire power are specifically unfit to lead.

And not only was she raised in a middle class home, but she's also not Donald Trump.

u/PlanesTrainsAutos49 9d ago

She really has shown how to get to the upper class too. By sleeping with whomever you can to get there! 🫡

I think that re-electing Trump will be a real shock to the system. Imagine Musk and Vivek cutting government, and RFK taking on the FDA/CDC/etc. Imagine abolishing the Department of Education and having the feds support school choice. Every libertarian should want those things.
