I shouldn’t think wealthy elites give issues around guns (the fear of gun crimes, and the counterbalancing fear of gun confiscation, violent crime & government tyranny) much thought one way or the other — EXCEPT, that is, to figure out ways of PROFITING financially and/or politically from either or both camps. The gun rights ‘market’ and the opposing gun control ‘market’ (to cast this in commercial terms).
ReplyDeleteAfter all, regardless of the distorted impression generated by hysterical media, the POOR (who are disproportionately ***not white***), are FAR more likely than the middle class to be killed or injured by a gun or any other kind of violence.
And the rich, be they Jewish or otherwise, are even *less* likely than even the white middle class to be impacted by serious crime and deadly violence.
Who in Manhattan, Aspen, Vail, the Hamptons, Newport Beach, realistically needs to care about guns and violent crime… EXCEPT as a lucrative commercial proposition?
The rich elite generally don’t live in those neighbourhoods where most gun crime occurs.
The police serving wealthy communities are *not* the same anxious, low-salary, trigger-happy, cops patrolling inner cities, poor rural counties, and impoverished post-industrial towns beset by drugs and unemployment.
And the darling offspring of the rich simply aren’t (for the most part) enrolled at the most dangerous schools where most gang, knife & gun violence occurs. They are privately educated, or educated in rich suburban schools that practice invisible socioeconomic selection by zip code.
The elite have *neither* a political-cultural/social affinity for guns, *nor* an innate desire to curtail their availability.
Instead, they know there’s plenty of money and/or political capital to be made by *faking* a ‘principled’ position on either side and ruthlessly ‘merching’ that stance for gain.
When it ‘pays’ to be ‘pro second amendment’ and liberty — they’ll be that.
When it ‘pays’ to be ‘pro child safety and gun control’ .— they’ll be that instead.
Better still, they like to be both things, to the different markets. All things to all men & women, in different places at different times.
And generate fear and hostility and social division when that pays.
Of course, it generally pays (financially, politically) to invest in *both* sides of ANY ‘war’ — be it a hot war, a cold war, a political contest, or, (as in this case) a manufactured ‘culture war’.
The PTB are likewise pro AND anti ‘Big Tobacco’ (in different markets, at different times, in different contexts, according to the commercial possibilities).
ReplyDeletePro AND anti ‘Junk Food’ (again, in different markets, at different times, in different contexts, according to the commercial possibilities).
Pro AND ‘Big Oil & Gas’, including the switch to electric vehicles, etc (once again in different markets, at different times, in different contexts, according to the commercial possibilities).
And so on, and so on.
US, EU, Russia, or Ukraine, or China? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
Biden or Trump in 2024? Yes to both — and yes to the opposition to both.
