    Pick a man’s pocket and he’ll hate you.

    Convince a man that others are picking their pockets and he’ll give you his money.

        It was a metaphor for how easy it is to pin people against each other to get what you want.

          No shit. Do you think Marxists wanted Trump elected?

          Instead of metaphors and conspiracy theories, could you just say who you think is doing what and why, in plain English?

            One look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear last year and many of the comments on posts like these show very well they love Trump. They think he’s the solution to “US Imperialism”.

              Ok no offense but this is what I thought and why I suggest you spend less time on Lemmy.
