  • The best I can say about this is that it might grab the attention of people who aren't yet aware of Thomas's corruption, because yeah otherwise this isn't going anywhere.

  • You're one of those fucking chud-adjacent losers who think that "working class" means white 40something factory worker with a beard, a wife and 2.5 kids, and a litany of bigoted views huh?

    Fact is the vast majority of queer people are working class. You can keep picking on Sam Harris to try to write off nonbinary people as being like a rich people Hollywood thing, but the reality doesn't fit with that. You point out homelessness as one of those things we should "really care about"... meanwhile homeless queer youth are a huge problem you're just conveniently ignoring. and if you think those kids dont have nonbinary people among them you're out of touch. Being nonbinary isnt just something for people living comfortably.

  • The "welfare queen" myth was always a racist dogwhistle from the jump. This is well documented. The "you're the real racist for noticing racism" bullshit isnt going to fly here.

  • Which is a completely fair and humane policy of course, but only if you see non-citizens as people.

  • Why would i not be mad at that just as I am at how corporate bailouts didnt help anyone except the top .01% of society?

    Scale. The amount that the capitalists steal from you is orders of magnitude larger than whatever infinitesimal amount of tax dollars (well, more accurately, cents) you lose because an unhoused person used a loophole to buy drugs. Personally I can't even imagine being angry at the two people you mentioned. Nor is there a realistic way to prevent those things that wouldn't punish the 99% of people who just use EBT to buy food like its intended.

    (I also really don't care if people find a way to use EBT money to buy something else in general. Like I can't think of a single reason to be bothered by that. And I life off EBT and only ever use it the "correct" way.)

  • Yeah, their propaganda outlets tell them that immigrants are eligible for everything and are indeed sucking up most of it.

  • Step 1 to believing welfare queen nonsense: Be racist and imagine said queen as being black

  • Lmao you know they desperately want to lower it so they can get their groomer ass recruiters in even earlier. US would absolutely do child soldiers if they could get away with it, they're only barely not doing so now.

  • I swear someone could claim like "Russia is controlled by an army of demons" and if someone from Hexbear was like "actually that is not true you should stick to the realm of fact in your criticisms of Russia" posters you'd still get like "WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING RUSSIA? DONT YOU KNOW RUSSIA ISNT COMMUNIST".

  • Probably not. I went back and forth today with someone who was pretty obviously bad faith, but at least my empathy wasnt going off in that case because I didnt feel bad for them or anything.

  • Oh, thats good to know, can you provide more detail?

  • Oh I've seen alt right playbook plenty, its very good, but thank you very much anyway.

  • Felons in states where that loses you voting rights get taxed if they work. Same with if a 16 year old works. We already arent consistent with this one lol

  • Not yet but I wouldn't be suprised to see Trump and/or Desantis pick this idea up. Also, I think its both 1. funny and 2. telling how scared they are of gen z.

  • Yes, they're an ideologically committed centrist liberal to a pretty extreme degree. The absolute refusal to accept the crimes of liberal capitalism as anything but "mistakes" that they "learned from" is pretty detached from reality.

  • Perfect example! Winston Churchill was a racist who committed intentional genocide in India.

    And he wasn't just "making mistakes". He was an evil man doing evil things on purpose.

  • You're just constantly and tiringly arguing from the assumption that liberals are only ever bad because they "made mistakes" but I swear they mean well and are trying to do the right thing! Despite the incredible death toll that can be laid at their feat.

    But communists are malicious and trying to do evil.

    Every time.

  • Liberals dismantled those colonial empires.

    This is the same argument as "but whites also FREED the slaves" and "but men also GAVE the women the vote".
