					<description><![CDATA[You&#039;ve hit the nail on the head, Daphne.  On the metacognitive level, this (your third para.) - more so than language - is at the root of the &#039;us&#039; and &#039;them&#039; divisiveness: The values we choose.

&quot;Survivalist&quot; would be a key concept.  No surprise then, that within the portrayed context of a negative global economy - save for Malta itself - the notion that there was a fast buck or two to be made over and above the exceptional economic achievements of the previous government, as well as a cheat&#039;s rung or two, was the ultimate gamble taken.

With &quot;survivalist&quot; as the focus, the Labour campaign, and now governance, was never positive, but &quot;negative aggressive.&quot; 

The language codings in the two cultures switch. The polarities accommodational in thug culture, thereby giving rise to deception and confusion, since the language of expression is meant to be the one, but for thug culture it&#039;s &quot;kif jaqbilli&quot; with concept polarities ever switching.

In thug culture, &quot;negative aggressive&quot; is positive whilst positive values are derided as weak and negative. The latter point especially so, in the case of firmly expressed media and press transmitting positive values.

Thug culture:
L-ewwel jien, u mbaghad jien, u mbaghad jien u allahares xi hadd jipprova jwaqqafni. 

Weas might as well be looking at a picture of Joseph and any one of his cohort. They already have an established common area of criminal activity, which the thug culture in Malta both accommodated and rewarded. Reverse polarity for arrested and penalised.]]></description>
