The inability of rich neoliberal centrist elites in western capitals to understand - or even hide their scorn for - the anger & grievances of rural and working-class people over their economic suffering is one of the 2 or 3 most important causes of contemporary political changes:
Media outlets keep explaining the French protests are about so much more than the fuel tax (which Macron already rescinded) - it's about general anger over wealth inequality, Paris elites & declining living standards - yet neoliberals ignore it. NYT today: nytimes.com/2018/12/08/wor…
That the head of the Democrats' most influential DC think tank is so rich and insulated that she literally can't understand the inability of already-struggling rural and working-class voters to pay new taxes, and demonizes their anger of wealth inequality, says it all.
