The Outsiders (1983)

class war duh. but i see in this also the obvious allusions to an early age directly the 2nd or 3rd generation after an industrial era, when the laborers of that industrialism are becoming stratified.
and as with all other things related to western civilization, the whites will one day marginalize the suffering of industrialization to the other races. (Does one see many movies about struggling, working class whites vs college kids these days? Not as popular a subject any more.) meantime, we are to feel sorry for the whites who will eventually be liberated or ostracized. i guess…

My friend, Thomas Jefferson is an American saint because he wrote the words ‘All men are created equal’, words he clearly didn’t believe since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He’s a rich white snob who’s sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So, yeah, he writes some lovely words and aroused the rabble and they went and died for those words while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl. This guy wants to tell me we’re living in a community? Don’t make me laugh. I’m living in America, and in America you’re on your own. America’s not a country. It’s just a business. Now fuckin’ pay me.
