I can't tell if that's a malicious shift or if that's just pragmatic given the current operating conditions.

you can't "save your race" if you can't even save yourself. a starving, diseased, indebted idiot can't do shit "for his race". You can also think about this way: self proclaimed lefties hate the ideas of self improvement and taking responsibility for own life so... things can change soon. Take good care of yourself and you'll have enough power to protect what you care about.
