This isn’t even a Trump thing, I’ll take the bus or buy a foreign made junker before I’d waste my money on an American car. They’re crap.

The only thing we export of any quality are the means of mass murder, and that’s something to be ashamed of.

This sold under the same banner as “any lasting change is non-violent.”

incrementalism is just another way to argue for mass passivity.

That’s how we’ve gotten here.

The ACA further enshrined the core rot of our healthcare system into it, FOR PROFIT health insurers.

Neoliberals are Fascist enablers.

Sanders and AOC can come.

I’m part of the left and I’m armed. I just don’t glorify my arms, name them girl names, or fall to sleep stroking them like a lover.

I think it’s the only position I share with our rightwing. I wish I didnt need them, but this is a cesspool of toxic individualism, avarice, and prideful ignorance. When in Nazi Germany, you might need to shoot a Nazi.

In the Nordic countries, societies, they have freedom to roam, here our bootstrap buckaroos fantasize about murdering anyone (who doesn’t look like them) that rings their doorbell for walking up their sidewalk.

Ask 1930s Germans how bad it needs to get.

Id argue Americans are even more gaslit and deluded than they were with modern for profit media combined with captured government pulpits.

I truly think the average American would sooner burn their own children alive than protest/disempower their capitalist fascist oppressors gutting their very lives for an extra nickel. For profit media says the fault of our problems are all the powerless homeless neighbors we’ve all collectively betrayed lowering property values with their continued immoral existence as they produce no value other than to scare everyone else back to their jobs every day.

Wouldn’t want to be accused of being a filthy SOCIAList that wants to be part of a SOCiety after all. Why live together when we can die alone at each other’s throats hoping the next lottery ticket or third side gig will make us a big winnah!

I will never, never forget all the domestic politicians using their pulpits when covid hit to assure everyone that they will do everything possible to protect our beloved society people children future economy, with basically no pushback 🤮

Both our parties worship at the alter of that bull.

The Republicans are fascists, but the Neoliberal Democrats, all Democrats save 2-5 spoiler the DNC hates more than Republicans, are fascist enablers that play pretend that funnelling the value of the nation’s labor to the top few percent somehow won’t lead to fascism.

Unrestrained capitalism will always lead to fascism.

He’ll be literally all those things now in Republican echo chambers.

The Right wing eats its own.

Should have kept better company.

“Hey, I saw someone doing something illegal to a capitalist!”

No you fucking didn’t.

We turned the bull loose as the slogan said.

What do bulls do to people?

Glad I went Emby.

If empathy is the weakness to my species, I’m glad we’re committing suicide by capitalist made climate change.

Without empathy, we have no redeeming characteristics and nothing of value will be lost.

Donald and Ivanka Trump.

Shit, sorry, same thing.

Modern conservatives lack the creativity to imagine plausible damning accusations.

They must draw from life.

When they hilariously try, we get “Jewish space lasers” and “pizza parlor child fight club rings.”

Then they get angry that basically every creative and artistic field is dominated specifically by not them. When they get handed a budget to attempt creativity, we get preachfest garbage like “God’s not dead 23” that spends 2 hours basically turning to the camera lecturing viewers about conservative grievances in the form of repetitive gotcha strawman scenarios like it’s Festivus.

That’s the problem with only hating, with only negativity, with only being against change. It’s like trying to grow a flower by watering it with vinegar.

The Matrix.

Pretty fucking screwed.

It’s even worse than that. It floors me that it’s widely accepted that soldiers murdering soldiers in war isn’t murder. It’s murder when a contract killer murders by order and gets paid, the fact that a government is paying the contract and giving you a spiffy Lil wardrobe to do it in is a really arbitrary line. They don’t even have a proper word for it, they just say “it’s not murder… IT’S WAR!” What a lazy non-argument. It doesn’t count because we’re doing murder Costco style, in bulk?

I mean yeah, it’s people killing people that don’t want to die on the behalf of people paying them to either gain something or secure what they have. It’s more cut and dry than my first example, where you could argue that if the party to be murdered consents to be murdered, it no longer fits the definition.

As George Carlin said, the word is avoided to soften what needs to be done, to defang language until it is robbed of the emotional weight of what is happening. Target neutralized doesn’t have the baggage of human murdered. Don’t want those soldiers in the field to internalize the weight of what they’re doing, or they won’t comply as reliably!

Morality is subjective. Ethics are an attempt to quanitify/codify popular/common moral beliefs.

Even “murder is wrong” is not a moral absolute. I consider it highly immoral to deny murder to someone in pain begging for another person like a physician to murder them painlessly simply because of a dogmatic “murder is wrong” stance.

Promises promises.

This country was destroyed under Reagan. We needed a national security strategy against the capitalists back then and instead invited them into the government.

This is just the fire sale, the vultures picking the well rotted corpse clean. Reagan and Welch destroyed this place, don’t give Trump that much credit. He’s just an opportunist who saw profit in chaos.
