OPL: Other People’s Lives

OPL:  Right wing: Get tough on the underclass.

The lives the right wing will push around are not those of themselves, their friends, family or their social circle. They won’t be affected.

“Today’s announcement is part of National’s wider plan to restore law and order. We have already announced a policy that gives Police extra tools to tackle gangs, and we have announced our intention to establish Young Offender Military Academies to set serious repeat young offenders on a better life path.”       Chris Luxon, National, PM

It is easy to pass laws that affect other people’s lives.

But as seen in Brazil, South Africa and other nations where the struggling class becomes the predator class, it is in the interest of the comfortable class to raise the struggling class into a middle class where income exceeds basic needs and where the members of that class have a vested interest in maintaining law and order.
