I agree with this one
Counterpoint: Before men in suits we had men in blouses which not only did all of that but their war was also legal and the public received no benefits or guaranteed rights. We created our own men in suits as representatives to redistribute wealth of other men in suits and help each other.
Hear hear
Someone has to be saying it. If the bastards want to spout about getting rid of our migrant population, trans people, black people, etc then someone has to point out the real problem.
Imagine how much better the world would instantly become if some rogue AI did that.
Its good that people can see that the emperors have no clothes and are still willing to put their necks on the line. But it shouldn’t be just comedians who are supposed to be there to entertain us. It should be the citizen politicians we picked with our actual vote. Unfortunately they are all currently threading Trump’s bullshit. They are literally swimming in it and its a sandpit made of bullshit. Its a trap.
Hes wrong
Their money should be taken first
AND redistributed.
Boring! I say pick a random person from a lottery and now they become the next billionaire that needs to be sacrificed for the harvest. 😊
They get to live in luxury for the rest of their lives and we quench our blood thirst for eternity. Win win!
Pick 2 random people from a lottery everyone has to participate in and kill the richest person until everyone has the same amount of money
Just invalidate all money and start over
He’s not wrong
For real tho…who has a problem with Mexicans? They’re chill af. They mind their own business and work like a beast. You need something done, find a Mexican that does that.
We also don’t mind helping you and will invite you to our bbqs which are fun as fuck.
And at those BBQs, they’re gonna fix you a bomb ass plate of some awesome meat that they’ve been working on for hours.
And give you plates to take home!
White dude who has been to several Mexican family BBQs checking in. They are consistently fun as fuck.
I drank with 5 Mexicans at a restaurant total strangers and we could barely talk to each other. Used some Google translate. Great guys and gals. We drank some modelo and tequila. Chill as fuck.
Real Mexicans drink bud lite. I swear it’s a joke.
That’s all there is at my families bbq. And michelobe ultra lol
Racists see the world as zero sum.
Privately, they believe that the Other (Mexicans, trans people, Muslims) holds the same views that they do. Some people do not mature/develop a theory of mind beyond a vague sense of tribalism.
Because given power, they would eliminate people unlike them, they assume that the Other would do the same.
Look into racist spirituality, ie White Identity - a common belief is something like racial “oversouls” which are naturally opposed to each other. Anything that benefits Black or Mexican folks are overt moves by those oversouls - affirmative action as a covert move to drive white men out.
The majority of these people don’t get into it/think about it enough to engage with the “oversouls” but I think it does align with their behavior. The internet has also unfortunately gotten things like Blavatsky and Evola into to the mainstream - dollars to donuts that the DOGE boys were introduced to those names on /pol/
Don’t forget Curtis Yarvin, and his predecessor Adelson. They think democracy was a mistake.
Yeah - they’re teaming up with the Christofascists. Accelerationists - smash the United States into a wall, so various parties can pick up the pieces. It’ll be Gilead where I live - Cory Doctorow elsewhere.
What’s wrong with Cory? I think he’s brilliant.
Unless you’re suggesting some kind of utopian emergence from the ashes.
Nothing wrong with Doctorow - I just think that his techno dystopias are very prescient.
Ah right on, makes sense.
Story as old as time, racists do. Anyone who sounds / looks “funny” is an alien, therefore bad. They could have a million of good interactions with “the other” and one slightly bad one, while they get a million bad ones and one good one from “their tribe”, and they’ll still rail on the “others” as a problem
You know the Mexicans make way better food than whatever the fuck these long pigs make.
I could go for a quesadilla right now
Upgrade your Mexican food game to birria or tacos de lengua/cachete.
-
People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.
-
People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.
-
A combination of the above.
Wait until they find out that there are white Mexicans…
They still wouldn’t be white. Up until maybe a century ago Irish and Italian people weren’t, after all.
They don’t realize that race is essentially fiction. Skin color is an easy visual test if someone is good or bad. We’re fucking apes.
-
Any foreigner. They come here to make something of themselves, probably spent an arm and a leg just for a passport and the trip itself. They work retail/crap jobs and do whatever they need. You’ll most likely never find a homeless foreigner in usa. Not saying they don’t exist, but I’ve never met one.
I had a friend who with a partner had a small framing contracting company in Texas. He told me that they would only hire Mexican Americans/Mexicans because white boy bubbas were lazy and only want to fish.
They also have amazing food
They want slaves.
I lived in San Diego through the entire first term of Trump. It was always bullshit when he railed on our neighbors.

He’s not wrong
Well, he’s not wrong i can tell you that.
I don’t really have a counter argument.
Counter argument - they belong in the ground AND all of their money dispersed to the people of the world.
More of a supplement than a counter.
Let’s keep the brainstorming going: and regulations should be put in place to prevent there from being such a thing as billionaires ever again.
Yes. No one person should hold more wealth than they and their spawns could spend in a lifetime.
That’s…not a counter argument. That’s not even disagreeing. You’re just saying it should be more.
Counter counter argument - your mom. Jk. I realized that as I clicked submit.
No, no. He’s got a point
In other news, every human should drink water and breathe air
Thank you comrade Burr
