English term

down-and-outer out and down

English to Arabic Art/Literary Philosophy
So when someone decides to make a better world they look on him as a direct menace even though the dull middle-class world is a sort of slavery and suicide. It is the middle class that tries the hardest to keep the down-and-outer out and down, who go along with a “cop America” and hate support of anything not their class.
