It’s the poverty, stupid

Anthony Beevor describes how, when the Red Army crossed the border into East Prussia, the soldiers were roused to fury by the – to them – high living standards they saw in the German villages. These Germans had so much, yet still they came to take what little we had! Such righteous indignation at an incomprehensibly infinite greed may yet drive a rage against the United States and its vampiric overclass that will make al-Qaida look like a vicarage tea party.

‘They’re coming to kill us in our beds!’ Is this the War on Terror speaking, or the plantation-owners in fear of a slave rebellion?
