"You're acting against your own interest" -- That's the (relatively) new mantra of the American leftist. First heard it on election night, 2016 when a member of the Marxist "Young Turks" gang screamed it into her mic after learning that DJT had won the presidency.

“Mapfumo”
Seriously, if I saw that on a shipping label I’d assume it was Spanish for “map gas”.

You’re right about its Marxist origins. They recycle propaganda all the time.

The black community’s been played for fools by democrats ...forever... I suspect that embarrassment might be part of his ‘projection’...

It's again, people acting against their own interest."

It depends on what a particular individual's mode of thought and his hierarchy of values is. Using reason, one might consider a rational free capitalist country is more important to or better for one's true interests than one's own immediate interests.

It's the only book most ‘liberals’ have read...

If we keep the government shut down for 2 years - and despair sets in in DC - with attendant divorces, drug addiction, crime and high suicide rates maybe they'll 'woke' to our reality....

Then when we offer them the “Kansas” solution - a check for $60 bucks so they can buy Chinese junk from Walmart in exchange for their dignity, culture, jobs, and decent lives we can laugh at them too when they act against their 'self interest'...

This mantra must be the marching orders from the left. On social media they are posting this with regularity and the posts are from people that have very little information about them and have recent sign ups.

It’s just the same old, same old.

We were bitter clingers and then we were deplorables.

It’s all the same elitist insult.

Wrong, punkazz.

I think it is awesome although I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I cannot figure out how insulting me is supposed to make me see their point and come around to their way of thinking. I can not see even 1 logical connection other than, “Umm, Trump bad!!” and there actually is no logic there either.

I hate when they go all in on “why don’t you vote in your own best interest?” They don’t know jack . . . thank you very much I know MY best interest.

They all do it. Where the hell do they get off with that argument?

...acting against your own interest.

What is my interest? I don't want to keep my own money. I want to give poor people jOkeass phones. I want to pay someone else's medical bill. I want to pay some illegals benefits.

Classic case of the ‘I am smarter than you leftist’ who is to dumb to realize he is no smarter than a potted plant.
