No point debating dumbasses that try to "gotcha" about semantics. Like you said, disingenuous. Troll. Edgelord maybe. Hopefully he's not actually this stupid.
I'm not sure if it's brigading or if reddit was just better at hiding them, but I'm seeing a lot of alt-right, fuck-the-libs hate. Any of the current posts about the student loan forgiveness for example. So so many bad faith, tone-deaf arguments of "why should I pay for your loans" or "those lazy deadbeats just don't want to pay". It almost feels organzied.
Sanctions? More political pressure? Anything but bending over and letting China ream us in the ass? Give them an inch and they take a mile. We KNOW this, so why are we still capitulating?
You call us deadbeats but what about the insane predatory nature of the loans in the first place? Most of us were forced, manipulated, or scared into taking out loans at 18. Most of us also didnt have the education in the first place to understand what the loans all meant, either. "Go to college or you'll be working the mcdonalds drive-thru at 35" kind of stuff. The brain doesn't stop developing until like 27, so regardless of what society has decided, 18 year olds are still very much children.
We were tricked/manipulated/sometimes outright lied to, and now 3/4 of the $400 payment goes to interest.
I want to pay back what I borrowed, but at 2/3+ just going to interest, the principal never goes down. For many its still more than they borrowed years and years ago. That's what's criminal.
Even if her statements are true and she didn't mean to do this from the beginning, why the actual fuck would she think that a black woman would get any more respect? Dems might be limiting her assignments but they're probably not saying the n word behind her back like Republicans do.
Democrats let the housing crisis continue, are beholden to corporate interests, often throw together band-aid supports that don't actually do much, but...
The republican party (or at least the alt-right members that seem to be controlling it all right now) literally wants Russia to take over Ukraine. They want to round up LGBT people and put them in camps and execute them. They want to (ARE) removing environmental protections instead of increasing them to fight climate change. Gutting child labor laws so 14 year old girls will be serving alcohol to Old drunk men.
Republicans are the school shooters, and the dems are the Uvalde cops standing outside with their thumbs up their butts.
This is literally a NATO proxy-war with Russia. If we don't want to send actual troops, we better be giving them all the equipment they ask for. Blank check.
It's a feature, not a bug.
