basically this
The White underclass is a miracle, and probably why the West has succeeded.
Thomas Frank wrote āWhatās the Matter with Kansasā to explore why poor Whites donāt vote for socialist policies that would (narrowly, in the short-term) benefit them. Of course he concluded it was about racism, as he was predetermined to do by his ideology.
But I actually think he highlighted an incredibly important fact: poor White Americans, uniquely among underclasses globally, donāt vote for socialism.
The typical dynamic is rich people trying to keep what they have and poor people trying to take it. But the American lower-class White does not behave this way, because he has a deontological aversion to government interference. The collection of attitudes and beliefs described as ārugged individualismā are often assessed in terms of how they impact the individual, but I think itās much more important to consider how they impact a nation.
(White) America has the worldās least resentful or grasping underclass. This is a treasure. They should be preserved and rewarded. Many might be net-negative fiscally in a narrow sense, but they are hugely net-positive if you consider their votes. Trump famously said āI love the poorly educated.ā He was right to say this. Every nation has an elite. No other nation has such a high quality of virtuous common people.

My ex cheated on me. I was devastated.
Friend: You should send her something petty.
Me: Like what?
Friend: Flowers. But make it WEIRD.
I found a florist in Nakameguro.
Florist: What's the occasion?
Me: Revenge.
Florist: eyes light up, Tell me everything.
I explained the situation.
Florist: I have the PERFECT arrangement.
He made a bouquet of:
- Dead roses
- Wilted liliesĀ
- A single cactus
- Card that said: "Hope your new relationship goes as well as these flowers"
Me: This is beautiful.
Florist: I've been WAITING for a customer like you.
Week later: He texted me.
Florist: "Did she get them?"
Me: "Yes. She's furious."
Florist: "Excellent. Tell your friends."
Month 2: I recommended him to a coworker going through a breakup.
Coworker: He made me a bouquet of ONIONS.
Me: Why onions?
Coworker: "To make your ex cry as much as they made you cry."
Coworker: It was GENIUS.
Month 4: The florist had a WAITLIST.
All revenge flowers.
His shop window sign: "Flowers for Every Occasion - ESPECIALLY Bad Ones"
Month 6: He went VIRAL on Japanese Twitter.
A celebrity ordered revenge flowers for her ex.
Posted a photo.
The florist got 500 orders in a week.
News article: "Tokyo Florist Specializes in 'Spite Bouquets'"
Month 8: He opened a SECOND LOCATION.
Hired staff specifically trained in "emotional damage floral design."
Me: You've created an empire.
Florist: I'm just helping people express their feelings.
Me: With dead plants.
Florist: With THERAPEUTIC dead plants.
Month 10: Someone ordered revenge flowers for ME.
Delivery guy: Package for you.
Inside: Beautiful fresh flowers. Card: "For inspiring the pettiest business in Tokyo. Thank you. - The Florist"
Me: crying
Month 12: His shop expanded to "revenge gifts."
- Chocolate that says "Sweet like the lies you told"
- Teddy bears with VERY passive aggressive messages
- Cakes that spell out "I'm over you (but also fuck you)"
Revenue: Ā„15 million/month.
Present day:
The florist is opening locations in Osaka and Kyoto.
He offered me a partnership.
Florist: 10% equity. You were the first revenge customer.
Me: I just ordered flowers!
Florist: You INSPIRED me. This is your legacy.
I took the deal.
I now own 10% of Japan's largest spite-based floral company.
My ex sent me a message last week: "I can't believe you started this."
Me: I didn't start it. I just ordered flowers.
Her: You've created a MONSTER.
Me: *looking at quarterly profits* A very profitable monster.
Revenge is a dish best served with wilted roses apparently.
