So, you are a working class chick who had brains and was upwardly mobile? That is what smart people do, Foxy. Smart people are upwardly mobile and generally speaking, dumb people are downwardly mobile until they become stuck in a rut of poverty. It has nothing to do with "oppression" or "discrimination." Now, you are a member of the educated bourgeoisie and you now have a compulsive need to adopt the values of your new class and be accepted as a card carrying member?
So, you sprout the inner urban educated professionals fashionable left wing party line and become a socialite socialist. You advocate for the Republic, Reconciliation, and Refugees, without really thinking the issues through. Bizarrely, as a supposed liberal, you even leap to defend Islam, which is a fascist political religion advocating terrorism, and the complete antithesis of a true liberal. It is very much like a Jew defending National Socialism. You have been conditioned to think that nationalism and patriotism are gauche', and not the values worthy of a member of your new elevated brahmin caste. Nationalism is only for bogans, the class you escaped from and now look down upon.
The new values that your new class insists you must now espouse to gain their acceptance, is to pretend that nationhood is obsolete, and that true Brahmins such as yourself are simply citizens of the world. So, you advocate for internationalist organisations like the UN and actively work against the interests of your own country and your own people as a way of displaying your new social superiority.
All you have to do now is to chant the class mantras about "progressive" issues that have been scripted for you. And repeat, parrot like, the tired and discredited arguments you have learned by rote from your caste's self appointed leaders, to show the bogan's what's what. Unfortunately, you then come up against a bogan like me who has done his homework and who knows how to pick apart the contradictory and double standard arguments inculcated by your peers into your head
