They only care about the lowest common denominator, the lowest of the low, the biggest losers out of the biggest losers.
If you have some policy that makes housing 80% cheaper, they will complain that there are some people still too poor to afford it. If you offer to give free homes to those people, they will complain that you have to fill out paperwork to get the homes, and that leaves out the illiterate. If you say you will hire an interpreter to fill out their paperwork, they will just complain that does nothing for people too fat to walk there on their own power. If you offer them free motor-scooters to get them down there, they will complain that some of them have no legs and thus can't lift themselves into the motor scooter.
Before you know it, They've taken a small issue that can be addressed with small economic tweaks (like housing prices) and they re-direct the debate so hard you end up talking about how to re-shape society to cater to retarded illiterate 500 lb double amputee illegal immigrants. And suddenly you become Hitler if you think they have their priorities backwards.

This. We have public housing. We have food stamps. We eradicated starvation as a cause of death. They still say there's so many hungry, so many homeless. It'll never end
Here's a perspective from someone who was dirt poor. What you said is a misconception. The poor are eating the wrong things because food stamps are finite and those wrong things lead to terrible places, including obesity.
You get around $200 for a family of three per month (obviously varied by area). A current food budget for a healthy family of three is around $200 per week. This means you cover the staples - proteins and fresh vegetables for most meals with some carbs scattered to and fro.
To get away with most of your groceries for the month costing 1/4 of that, you are eating almost exclusively carbs. Beans, noodles, and that sort of thing. With that sort of diet comes poor nutrition and further binging on carbs to try and feed the persistent internal knock from the body asking for proper vitamins and minerals.
Poor people are fat because the government decided to pay them just enough to buy the worst possible foods - foods that leave them in a permanent state of poor nutrition with the highest energy content possible.
They make poor choices with the money they’re given. I used to deliver pizzas and the first weekend of every month, after the food stamps were sold to others for cash, we spent so much time delivering $50+ orders to the hood.
I also worked at a liquor store near there and let me tell you the amount spent on hennessey and newports was astounding.
Government assistance is wasted and exploited on a massive scale by nearly every recipient
I don't accept that the government is responsible for feeding the poor in the first place. So to place the responsibility on the government for these people eating poorly seems very misplaced to say the least. If they are eating poorly it's because they aren't paying for better food themselves.
Next, People in other parts of the world live on less than $2 per day. Rice, beans, ramen, etc... is really cheap. Frozen vegetables are also very cheap.
It's not just a matter of money because if it was you could eat healthy for very cheap.
It really comes down to self control and convenience. Some people are more likely to take the instant gratification of junk food that tastes better than the more healthy bowl of boiled beans they have to make themselves. And I think people who already have that mindset are more likely to make the choices that keep them in poverty.
On the flip side someone who thinks long term, has self control, and will deny themselves instant gratification is the kind of person more likely to eat healthy, and also the kind of person more likely to escape poverty through those habits.
theres also the fact, that being working poor at minimum wage going overtime constantly to get extra cash or hopping between jobs,
you are very lucky to make a healthy lunch. it may seem like a poor choice to spend $5 a day out of your paycheck on shitty fast food, but its literally on the way and you can eat it while driving or just grab some shit off a shelf if you're in retail and call it lunch quick so you dont have much time away from work.
and on food stamps:
the real people selling food stamps ain't buying pizza -- theyre buying drugs. the reason you see the orders to the hood is their dealers are buying the pizza with all the excess money.
most people use their food stamps if they get them unless they're on the street as a drug addict. but its basically a pittance for most reasonable situations. You only really get a lot if you're basically a single mom with a bunch of kids.
even as a single guy with min wage or no job, not even enough money to pay taxes, you barely get anything in food stamps.
however, as a poor person -- knowing how to hit up all the food banks and donation services u are eligible for in you're community can keep you pretty close to well fed if you can scrape by enough for the fresh essentials, or whatever is spoiled/rotten you get for free. so if you can get rides, you can definitely eat well enough combined on not much of a budget if you plan well.
so you shouldnt really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to eat in this country, currently. if you make it your business to find where you can get food in your county you definitely can eat.
but again, you're right. it leads to terrible, carb and preservative laden diets on all fronts. and theres the fact junk food is cheaper than actual food. although -- fun fact -- since most people getting food stamps barely get like $25 a month if that, thats another reason you see people wasting it on snacks. to them its literally potato chip money because its not enough to supplement shit.
Im not joking, ive qualified for like $15 a month in food stamps for ages. i just never took it because its worthless.
Yes, always with the specter of starving children who are "food insecure"! They get housing, welfare, SNAP, free breakfast and lunch at school, more food sent home with the kid - how can there still be any hungry children? If you can't manage to feed your kid with all that, you're a hopeless, abusive loser who shouldn't be in charge of a cockroach, much less a child.
Either it's working and they're just moving the goalpost to steal more money, or it's not working and we should be doing something else.
It's really not working well in alot of places. But that isn't the governments fault, it is the fault of the people in the communities. They don't have role models. They don't teach morals. They don't teach do the right thing, work hard and you can achieve great things. Instead they teach lie, cheat, and steal.
And when given the opportunity to actually build the community and create jobs, the Democrats roll in and make policies that keep people poor, thus creating a never ending supply of dependency of the state.
Then, when a Republican comes around to offer a solution, the people are told by the Democrats that the Republicans are there to take away their food stamps and other benefits.
The left seems never to have heard the maxim "The perfect is the enemy of the good."
John Stossel once made the point that trying to make water 100% pure is foolish. Making water 99.9% pure is possible, but purifying it that last 0.1% is far more expensive for little additional safety.
But the left does exactly that on every issue. They pretend America is unworthy to exist because it isn't perfect, even though it's far closer than any other nation.
Imagine if many women left the work place coupled with Boomers retiring now instead of age 90. There would be both job creation and wage growth. Instead, every woman is Murphy McBeal and every Boomer has to work until they die because of a lack of savings.
People seriously underestimate the economic value of a full time homemaker. But fucking economists can't count it, so we replaced that with two full time workers and outsourced food, clothing, childcare, education, everything, so it looks like we doubled the GDP but all we did was impoverish our families.
The Irish do indeed have outsized representation in politics and in certain industries such as law enforcement. We’ve never had a Jew president but we’ve had an Irish Catholic president.
Well that, and I think the whole "two movies" or "two realities" concept that Scott Adams likes to push is very close to the truth. It's actually very similar (if not the same) to how cults work.
If a person is psychologically conditioned enough to see reality a certain way, then that is what they will see, no matter what the actual reality is.
Now I think Adams has gone too far and claimed that we on the "right" somehow see our own version of reality, but there really is no basis for that argument, because we aren't subjected to psychological conditioning constantly to see a right-leaning viewpoint like we and everyone else are subjected to a leftist viewpoint.
We've merely at some point or another stopped (or never did) seeing that projected reality. And further proof to that is that all of us under the whole MAGA banner have some pretty diverse views on specific things. That does not lend any credence to the idea we are drinking a different flavored koolaid. We are merely seeing what our "lying" eyes are telling us.
The leftists don't see or accept anything that deviates from what they want to see however, and thus "are watching a different movie".
Sure they are mentally ill. Many, just in my opinion, and nothing else, were abused, including sexually abused, as kids. Those are the good looking ones (before the mutilations which are a reaction to being too beautiful, and therefore abused.) There are, also, the unfortunately ugly ones, and those of limited intelligence, who were horribly teased.
But there's more.
This is NOT the land of opportunity any more; just try to open a little business or get a tiny little job in a mom and pop little business. None of that exists anymore.
Add in a glossy perfectionist culture, with horrible unionized schools, over sexualization, and the collapse of marriage, and you get this.
There's even more.
Mothers.
You talk about how they don't have fathers.
They also barely have mothers. Their mothers don't wear aprons, don't wear skirts, work full time, date, are sad, are broke, and use the kid as the substitute husband because they are lonely because the kid's father left.
Throw in a completely leftist school system, large classes, almost all teachers are women, and you get this.
So no, it's not the land of opportunity. Except for the intact-family, traditional culture, immigrants. They open a store. They have seen much worse than the US, and, they have mothers. And fathers. They live hard and rough, and are glad for what they can get.
They are crowded, but they are not lonely. And they don't have to be sexually attractive, which lots of people are not, and which is difficult, and takes all your time to achieve.
When their culture decides it's time for them to do sex, they are going to be married to whoever, and that's that. Then it's back to work.
Some young man was jumping all around, protesting Trump, saying "this is what democracy looks like" and "he's a socialist."
Democracy is sober-minded interest in the good of the people, not jumping around. Demo=people, cracy=rule. Democracy is not Greek for "Hop Like A Bunny." We have abolished manhood. Well they wouldn't let him jump and wriggle in school, he had to sit still, so he's been waiting for years to jump around.
This is NOT the land of opportunity any more; just try to open a little business or get a tiny little job in a mom and pop little business. None of that exists anymore.
I think the problem is that the big corps have lobbied the government to tax and regulate the small businesses so much that they can't get bigger. Walmart can deal with a lot of stupid regulations that no local competitor can afford, which is why it took an online corporation like Amazon to cut into Walmart's market share, rather than an upstart grocery/supermarket competitor.
Opportunity? Okay that unfair to say I am a cuck leftist and there’s no opportunity here for me because my parents kicked me out at 18 (okay yea I didn’t work an did drugs all day but still) and when I went to college to get a degree in gender studies it took me 7 years and I needed to go to a diverse private school for a good education so I’m about $200k in debt and at the moment I can only find a Starbucks job for $9 an hour but I can’t work more than 20 hours a week because I need to take care of my mental health so it’s really unfair for you to say this is the land of opportunity because I do not have that opportunity you speak of and it’s unfair and capitalism has failed and JUST FUCKING VOTE FOR BIDEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BERNIE REEEEE
Just created my account after lurking, old r/The_Donald bro since 2015, former Obama voter, MSM hater since the age of 18 when the leadup to the Iraq War was so transparently BULLSHIT.
And I just want to say, that like so many of us here
Thanks bro! Been on a discord political debate server a lot debating socialists. Got called a "griller" and decided that's something I can embrace. We all should embrace.
they legitimately hate this country and its people. Just look at Biden’s tweet tonight saying America is only an idea and we’ve “never lived up to it.” They all—all liberals—truly believe that insanity.
There aren't any liberals left. They've all given up or moved to the Trump camp. What remains on "the left" are echo chamber addicts led by a coalition of the fringes. Every die hard "liberal" I know is horrified by these people (the fringe coalition). Some of them accept it, some of them don't. It is obvious to everyone that what we see as clowns are running amok in the democratic party.
Neoliberalism rules over all of this. Neoliberalism only cares about power. Domestic, foreign, and trade. It will do anything for that power, and sacrifice anyone.
A return to modern liberalism and a rejection of neoliberalism would be very healthy for this country. But there is only room for a loyal opposition. Which means corporate media has to be dismantled. Google is a good start.
It's decadence. It happens to all successful societies at a point. When most of the people don't have to keep busy trying to survive, they start fighting among themselves.
Imagine that for 4 or so years you've had a hard stance in one belief. That's who we're talking about.
Imagine that in real life® you arent successful in your social goings on. You don't have a lot of real friends. Hardly any dating life, no marriage nor family. You arent popular, you arent anything but a real life total loser. You don't have much of a career, nor financial future. This can happen to any of us. You have excuses for all your failures, you never accept responsibility because it has to be someone elses fault you are where you are.
Now you have two choices - pull yourself up by the bootstraps, fight back hard and better yourself, and let me tell you, this road isnt easy but it's the most rewarding. The other option is to wallow in self-made problems and phony bologna excuses. You come up with every reason under the sun for all your failures except "it was me all along" and you totally stop trying. - take a look at all the antifa mugshots, they are 100000% grade A losers in every sense of the word.
During all this brainwashing, you are spoon fed lie after lie, and agenda after agenda. You are controlled to think one way because everything you hear is catered to a certain wanted outcome. You align yourself with this way of thinking because it gives you a group.. a sense of belonging. You never stop to consider if this is a group you want to be part of, but instead it's a group that will take you, so you jump in feet first. (reference the nerdy basement losers podesta wikileaks email here). So now you're left standing with a fake persona built on a foundation of lies and misdirects. You arent a person, you're a projection of what the string pullers want you to be, but you're finally something.. even if that something is abhorrent and fake.
With all that said, do you (lefty losers) give up the lie and instead face reality.. the red pill as it were? Or do you double down and take the easy road because it requires no accountability and no effort on your part? For today's lefty morons, the take the latter. Those of us who werent on the right path, took the former.
The lefties can't give their illusion up and "change", because they will lose their entire identity and have to face the real world...and that's too hard for them to handle. Their whole persona is wrapped up in their political beliefs, and it controls them. Ask one what they like to do for a hobby, sports, music, social stuff, etc.. their list is short if there's a list at all. They are professional victims, and they will tell you that as soon as possible.
But here we are, with family, friends, social gatherings, hobbies, interests, future plans to get better, plans to make others better, plans to make our neighborhoods, towns, states and country better.. because it's the right thing to do, even though it isn't easy. some of us are still trying to learn how to get right, but at least our noses are in the books studying while our lefty peers are instead getting busy trying to burn those same books.
I can't get people to understand that. 6 years ago I was unhappy with my my life. I made what felt like a huge decision and uprooted everything.
Looking back that mountain of a first step just looks like a bump... why didn't I do it sooner? None of it was really all that dramatic. I made the decision and started taking the 1000 small logical decisions that brought me to the path where I wanted to be.
It's out there for all of us, but we have to do it. It isn't luck or handed to us
Luck isn't the full deck... it's just some cards. You have to get yourself into position to be able to use them when dealt and that starts by stepping up to the table in the first place.
Sous vide is much better for your meats. It is impossible to overcook anything (unless too tender is a problem for you) and you can always get the desired level of pink in the middle.
sous vide is great! won't deny that one bit. But, you can't get great smoky flavor in a sous vide. Nor, can you produce quantity of food like you can a good smoker.
Hah because social media, the news, their parents and teachers told them their whole lives that they are special, everyone is equal, no one should have to work more than others, take care of everyone, if you are lacking something it isn't your fault but, it is someone else's fault or the "system's fault. They are playing in a world that doesn't actually exist and when they finally face the real world it is quite the reality shock.
I can't speak for all areas of this great nation, not all places are as great as others. But i don't know a single struggling person. Even with this scamdemic, we are all prospering. I just don't get it man.
They have a demonic hate for existence itself. In reality they hate God and themselves. So naturally they see everything outside of themselves through the same hellish lens.
The whole Marxist ideology of power structures is just a demonic mindset meant to undermine and destroy.
Social media 24/7 has corrupted their brains. The only thing that lets them get a new high is to continue to lie and smear to get more of that sweet, sweet dopamine up votes.
Back on Reddit I wasn't really pro Trump (but did vote for him) and avoided T_D.
Then one day I noticed how everyone in T_D was laughing and having a good time while /r/politics was a cesspool of fucking misery and anger and hatred.
I hear their saying the constitution need to be disolved and replaced. As a foreigner and I speak for alot of people here, we are extremely envious of your constitution. It is literally what makes america greatest western democracy in the world. I'm Australian, we have no guarantee of free speech, no right to bare arms to protect against a tyrannical government.
The problem with your left is they believe their victims of their own freedom. They don't want personal sovereignty because it puts the onus on you for your own success or failure.
They want authoritarianism, that way their told what to think, what to do and how to live. They want rules and structure around everything, and most of all they want something for nothing.
I've always taken responsibility for myself. My successes are because of my action and so are my failures. But people who are weak of mind and lack discipline refuse to believe their circumstances are of their own doing.
50 years of demoralization and indoctrination by the Marxist and Leninist ideologies in the K-university educational systems and mass media, without being countered by the basic principals of American Patriotism.

I believe it's due to a romanticized vision of other places in the world that they've never been to, only heard and seen and discussed on the internet/reddit. They hear stories about free stuff in Canada and Europe and posters who may or may not actually live there regale them with even more bullshit that they think is utopia. They hear stories about how Germany does this and doesn't do this, Sweden has this amazing program, France does this, Canada is great because this and think that the U.S. should incorporate all those things not realizing that it would probably be impossible to make work in the long run. Also they seem to think that the only country in the world that discriminates and has race issues is the U.S., forgetting that soccer fans in Spain used to make chimpanzee noises at black soccer players and many other similar issues.
They don't care about the results or consequences.
They just want to control everyone's actions.
Did you just say God Bless You when someone else sneezed? Off to jail with you!
Not using someone's preferred gender pronouns? More jail time!
Wearing clothing from another culture? Would make it illegal if they could.
Having children? Only if you are in a mixed race relationship!
Carbon footprint? Better keep it low, unless your a celebrity or Democrat official.
That's not a reusable straw - Jail.
Not drying your own waste to make "chips" to BBQ with - Not illegal yet, but should be.
Schools teach your kids that conservative ideals are bad. The media teaches them to treat conservatives as idiots and subhuman. In order to break the conditioning, you need something huge like a midlife crisis. Then be willing to continue down the path of silence (this is how we get the silent Trump voter), or remain ignorant and "fit in" with the crowd.
Possibly because they've never lived in North Korea, or China, or Iran, or any of the other nations on this planet (and there are many!) where people who speak ill of the government get thrown in prison, tortured, raped, hanged, or sometimes all four.
We doin alright, no complaints besides the swamp rats burning our fucking cities. But we waiting for political leftists to denounce this type of conjured peaceful protest.
They were never taught as children to be grateful for anything. 2. They have been brainwashed their entire lives to hate this country. 3. they are comparing everything to a leftist ideal utopia that has never and will never exist.
It's victimhood mixed with the human race is going extinct garnished with all your problems in life come from (insert group) and not your personal choice with a blind eye to the reality that they live in a shithole.
It's the safe space episode of Southpark, but real.
victimhood is their identity ... it's their drug.
Because they don’t want to be anything but mad. That’s the short of it.
They’ll never be satisfied.
They only care about the lowest common denominator, the lowest of the low, the biggest losers out of the biggest losers.

Extremely accurate
If you give a mouse a cookie...
And accurately extreme.
This. We have public housing. We have food stamps. We eradicated starvation as a cause of death. They still say there's so many hungry, so many homeless. It'll never end
Yeah. All it amounts to is the difference between idealism and realism. Leftists will always let the good die at the altar of perfect.
Not only is starvation not a cause of death in America, but poverty is correlated heavily with obesity. The poor are eating too much!
Here's a perspective from someone who was dirt poor. What you said is a misconception. The poor are eating the wrong things because food stamps are finite and those wrong things lead to terrible places, including obesity.

America is the #1 place people would die to be able to live in.
All other places are just backups incase they can't make it to America.
im telling you. its that last .1% that gave me the cancer. not all the cigarrettes, or other abuses.
its definitely that .1% impurity of the water I drank that one time.
Not the time i drank straight polluted river water while swimming. or swimming pool water with piss in it that time i was 5.
its that .1%. I feel it. in my bones. the very bones that have the cancer. wait no. maybe its just getting to my brain.
(I dont have cancer and I should never have made this joke)
Wow. This summed it up perfectly. I want to upvote this a million times.
Perpetual losers that can’t do a thing about it are typically mad. Paradox is only they can fix it, and that is a tall order for the majority of them.
Imagine if many women left the work place coupled with Boomers retiring now instead of age 90. There would be both job creation and wage growth. Instead, every woman is Murphy McBeal and every Boomer has to work until they die because of a lack of savings.
Yep, we used to have enforced retirement age policies. Those disappeared and so did a bunch of jobs. Go figure.
People seriously underestimate the economic value of a full time homemaker. But fucking economists can't count it, so we replaced that with two full time workers and outsourced food, clothing, childcare, education, everything, so it looks like we doubled the GDP but all we did was impoverish our families.
TIL that Elizabeth Cady Stanton was jewish
Good job. How many Irish? Do you know?
Oh no, O'Brien, they've sussed us out! All our plans are sawn asunder, me boys.
The Irish do indeed have outsized representation in politics and in certain industries such as law enforcement. We’ve never had a Jew president but we’ve had an Irish Catholic president.
Evan Sayet explains the liberal mindset perfectly.

And further proof to that is that all of us under the whole MAGA banner have some pretty diverse views on specific things. That does not lend any credence to the idea we are drinking a different flavored koolaid. We are merely seeing what our "lying" eyes are telling us.
The leftists don't see or accept anything that deviates from what they want to see however, and thus "are watching a different movie".
Also they burnt down their cities but yeah.
They would've starved CHAZ, too, if they'd kept up and tried to live off that garden, providing yet another meme against Socialism.
Yup. Without charity from the outside, Chaz would have starved over night.
Should have just built a wall around them, not let them leave, and let then have their own paradise. And no foreign aid.
Because they suck so bad, they can't even succeed in the land of opportunity.
nail meet head
Sure they are mentally ill. Many, just in my opinion, and nothing else, were abused, including sexually abused, as kids. Those are the good looking ones (before the mutilations which are a reaction to being too beautiful, and therefore abused.) There are, also, the unfortunately ugly ones, and those of limited intelligence, who were horribly teased.
But there's more.
This is NOT the land of opportunity any more; just try to open a little business or get a tiny little job in a mom and pop little business. None of that exists anymore.
Add in a glossy perfectionist culture, with horrible unionized schools, over sexualization, and the collapse of marriage, and you get this.
There's even more.
Mothers.
You talk about how they don't have fathers.
They also barely have mothers. Their mothers don't wear aprons, don't wear skirts, work full time, date, are sad, are broke, and use the kid as the substitute husband because they are lonely because the kid's father left.
Throw in a completely leftist school system, large classes, almost all teachers are women, and you get this.
So no, it's not the land of opportunity. Except for the intact-family, traditional culture, immigrants. They open a store. They have seen much worse than the US, and, they have mothers. And fathers. They live hard and rough, and are glad for what they can get.
They are crowded, but they are not lonely. And they don't have to be sexually attractive, which lots of people are not, and which is difficult, and takes all your time to achieve.
When their culture decides it's time for them to do sex, they are going to be married to whoever, and that's that. Then it's back to work.
Some young man was jumping all around, protesting Trump, saying "this is what democracy looks like" and "he's a socialist."
Democracy is sober-minded interest in the good of the people, not jumping around. Demo=people, cracy=rule. Democracy is not Greek for "Hop Like A Bunny." We have abolished manhood. Well they wouldn't let him jump and wriggle in school, he had to sit still, so he's been waiting for years to jump around.
You could tell there was murder in his heart.
The above is why.
Based. Whole heartedly agree except for this
It still is all this.
Glad to hear.
No high rents, millions of permits to get, robberies?
I think the problem is that the big corps have lobbied the government to tax and regulate the small businesses so much that they can't get bigger. Walmart can deal with a lot of stupid regulations that no local competitor can afford, which is why it took an online corporation like Amazon to cut into Walmart's market share, rather than an upstart grocery/supermarket competitor.
We REALLY need bestof.win
Opportunity? Okay that unfair to say I am a cuck leftist and there’s no opportunity here for me because my parents kicked me out at 18 (okay yea I didn’t work an did drugs all day but still) and when I went to college to get a degree in gender studies it took me 7 years and I needed to go to a diverse private school for a good education so I’m about $200k in debt and at the moment I can only find a Starbucks job for $9 an hour but I can’t work more than 20 hours a week because I need to take care of my mental health so it’s really unfair for you to say this is the land of opportunity because I do not have that opportunity you speak of and it’s unfair and capitalism has failed and JUST FUCKING VOTE FOR BIDEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BERNIE REEEEE
Just created my account after lurking, old r/The_Donald bro since 2015, former Obama voter, MSM hater since the age of 18 when the leadup to the Iraq War was so transparently BULLSHIT.
And I just want to say, that like so many of us here
I JUST WANTED TO FUCKING GRILL.
And here we are
Thanks bro! Been on a discord political debate server a lot debating socialists. Got called a "griller" and decided that's something I can embrace. We all should embrace.
Ever since Trump got elected my grill game has been amazing! I never put the two together until now.
Grilla Channel
My Grilla
If you aren't down to bend the knee to left wing radicalism you're a fedora wearing CENTRIST and climbing the ladder of white supremacy.
Yep, Joe's gonna have his grill grilled!
I was a cheese maker! I just wanted to make cheese, not be in this Hitler remake!
Two reasons:
they legitimately hate this country and its people. Just look at Biden’s tweet tonight saying America is only an idea and we’ve “never lived up to it.” They all—all liberals—truly believe that insanity.
liberalism is a mental disorder.
Absolutely!
There aren't any liberals left. They've all given up or moved to the Trump camp. What remains on "the left" are echo chamber addicts led by a coalition of the fringes. Every die hard "liberal" I know is horrified by these people (the fringe coalition). Some of them accept it, some of them don't. It is obvious to everyone that what we see as clowns are running amok in the democratic party.
Neoliberalism rules over all of this. Neoliberalism only cares about power. Domestic, foreign, and trade. It will do anything for that power, and sacrifice anyone.
A return to modern liberalism and a rejection of neoliberalism would be very healthy for this country. But there is only room for a loyal opposition. Which means corporate media has to be dismantled. Google is a good start.
It's decadence. It happens to all successful societies at a point. When most of the people don't have to keep busy trying to survive, they start fighting among themselves.
Imagine that for 4 or so years you've had a hard stance in one belief. That's who we're talking about.
Imagine that in real life® you arent successful in your social goings on. You don't have a lot of real friends. Hardly any dating life, no marriage nor family. You arent popular, you arent anything but a real life total loser. You don't have much of a career, nor financial future. This can happen to any of us. You have excuses for all your failures, you never accept responsibility because it has to be someone elses fault you are where you are.
Now you have two choices - pull yourself up by the bootstraps, fight back hard and better yourself, and let me tell you, this road isnt easy but it's the most rewarding. The other option is to wallow in self-made problems and phony bologna excuses. You come up with every reason under the sun for all your failures except "it was me all along" and you totally stop trying. - take a look at all the antifa mugshots, they are 100000% grade A losers in every sense of the word.
During all this brainwashing, you are spoon fed lie after lie, and agenda after agenda. You are controlled to think one way because everything you hear is catered to a certain wanted outcome. You align yourself with this way of thinking because it gives you a group.. a sense of belonging. You never stop to consider if this is a group you want to be part of, but instead it's a group that will take you, so you jump in feet first. (reference the nerdy basement losers podesta wikileaks email here). So now you're left standing with a fake persona built on a foundation of lies and misdirects. You arent a person, you're a projection of what the string pullers want you to be, but you're finally something.. even if that something is abhorrent and fake.
With all that said, do you (lefty losers) give up the lie and instead face reality.. the red pill as it were? Or do you double down and take the easy road because it requires no accountability and no effort on your part? For today's lefty morons, the take the latter. Those of us who werent on the right path, took the former.
The lefties can't give their illusion up and "change", because they will lose their entire identity and have to face the real world...and that's too hard for them to handle. Their whole persona is wrapped up in their political beliefs, and it controls them. Ask one what they like to do for a hobby, sports, music, social stuff, etc.. their list is short if there's a list at all. They are professional victims, and they will tell you that as soon as possible.
But here we are, with family, friends, social gatherings, hobbies, interests, future plans to get better, plans to make others better, plans to make our neighborhoods, towns, states and country better.. because it's the right thing to do, even though it isn't easy. some of us are still trying to learn how to get right, but at least our noses are in the books studying while our lefty peers are instead getting busy trying to burn those same books.
Thank you for coming to my Pepe Talk®
I can't get people to understand that. 6 years ago I was unhappy with my my life. I made what felt like a huge decision and uprooted everything.
Looking back that mountain of a first step just looks like a bump... why didn't I do it sooner? None of it was really all that dramatic. I made the decision and started taking the 1000 small logical decisions that brought me to the path where I wanted to be.
It's out there for all of us, but we have to do it. It isn't luck or handed to us
Luck isn't the full deck... it's just some cards. You have to get yourself into position to be able to use them when dealt and that starts by stepping up to the table in the first place.
I just wanna grill
Right? And i need to a job that pays well to buy meat, charcoal and charcoal accessories. OH WAIT. I have that! GEOTUS 2020!!
Sous vide is much better for your meats. It is impossible to overcook anything (unless too tender is a problem for you) and you can always get the desired level of pink in the middle.
We have the best gays folks! :-)
sous vide is great! won't deny that one bit. But, you can't get great smoky flavor in a sous vide. Nor, can you produce quantity of food like you can a good smoker.
This guy fucks.
Hah because social media, the news, their parents and teachers told them their whole lives that they are special, everyone is equal, no one should have to work more than others, take care of everyone, if you are lacking something it isn't your fault but, it is someone else's fault or the "system's fault. They are playing in a world that doesn't actually exist and when they finally face the real world it is quite the reality shock.
I can't speak for all areas of this great nation, not all places are as great as others. But i don't know a single struggling person. Even with this scamdemic, we are all prospering. I just don't get it man.
They’re very dull people and need to feel special/important so they absorb special/important causes from media to fill their void.
Or they’re just batshit crazy. Whatever, their loss!
This is why the left doesn’t exist in Kekistan.
Brainwashed.
In soy.
They believe we're a bunch of uneducated idiots who don't know anything.
Last time I checked I'm the cto of a 60 million dollar company and my cfo, coo, and 3 owners are even more maga then I am.
They have a demonic hate for existence itself. In reality they hate God and themselves. So naturally they see everything outside of themselves through the same hellish lens.
The whole Marxist ideology of power structures is just a demonic mindset meant to undermine and destroy.
Social media 24/7 has corrupted their brains. The only thing that lets them get a new high is to continue to lie and smear to get more of that sweet, sweet dopamine up votes.
Because their only joy comes from the oppression of others. They're addicted to the power since they are otherwise powerless(useless).
Because they are literally blinded by hate. Liberals live a miserable existence.
In short theyve been secretly trained their entire lives to hate America.
Because to them we are supposed to be miserable since we were banned from reddit. And we are not. So they dont understand.
Why? WHY? BECAUSE YOU POST RACIST CARTOON FROG MEMES!
I'm so sorry for screaming but I'm literally shaking right now.
Back on Reddit I wasn't really pro Trump (but did vote for him) and avoided T_D.
Then one day I noticed how everyone in T_D was laughing and having a good time while /r/politics was a cesspool of fucking misery and anger and hatred.
I hear their saying the constitution need to be disolved and replaced. As a foreigner and I speak for alot of people here, we are extremely envious of your constitution. It is literally what makes america greatest western democracy in the world. I'm Australian, we have no guarantee of free speech, no right to bare arms to protect against a tyrannical government.
The problem with your left is they believe their victims of their own freedom. They don't want personal sovereignty because it puts the onus on you for your own success or failure.
They want authoritarianism, that way their told what to think, what to do and how to live. They want rules and structure around everything, and most of all they want something for nothing.
I've always taken responsibility for myself. My successes are because of my action and so are my failures. But people who are weak of mind and lack discipline refuse to believe their circumstances are of their own doing.
Their pathetic babies basically.
50 years of demoralization and indoctrination by the Marxist and Leninist ideologies in the K-university educational systems and mass media, without being countered by the basic principals of American Patriotism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MzQSmwkFNc
Gotta be mad at something.
Because they feel empty inside and want to punish everyone for their personal shortcomings.
They need to filled with my grilling https://imgur.com/a/ZIDIXJi
Haters gonna hate.
They believe in the fallacy of "free gibs" and that someone is trying to get them 'something', and that another group is preventing it.
Everyone loves free. So it's common to exploit that desire. 'Something' is healthcare, child support, reparations, ect.. the trick is pulling it off.
Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, Castro, Hitler... it's been employed many times before. It's all a grift.
I believe it's due to a romanticized vision of other places in the world that they've never been to, only heard and seen and discussed on the internet/reddit. They hear stories about free stuff in Canada and Europe and posters who may or may not actually live there regale them with even more bullshit that they think is utopia. They hear stories about how Germany does this and doesn't do this, Sweden has this amazing program, France does this, Canada is great because this and think that the U.S. should incorporate all those things not realizing that it would probably be impossible to make work in the long run. Also they seem to think that the only country in the world that discriminates and has race issues is the U.S., forgetting that soccer fans in Spain used to make chimpanzee noises at black soccer players and many other similar issues.
They don't care about the results or consequences. They just want to control everyone's actions.
Did you just say God Bless You when someone else sneezed? Off to jail with you!
Not using someone's preferred gender pronouns? More jail time!
Wearing clothing from another culture? Would make it illegal if they could.
Having children? Only if you are in a mixed race relationship!
Carbon footprint? Better keep it low, unless your a celebrity or Democrat official.
That's not a reusable straw - Jail.
Not drying your own waste to make "chips" to BBQ with - Not illegal yet, but should be.
1 million years gulag for you. That's OUR BBQ!
I blame the removal of intermissions from entertainment. They are a captured audience.
Schools teach your kids that conservative ideals are bad. The media teaches them to treat conservatives as idiots and subhuman. In order to break the conditioning, you need something huge like a midlife crisis. Then be willing to continue down the path of silence (this is how we get the silent Trump voter), or remain ignorant and "fit in" with the crowd.
Possibly because they've never lived in North Korea, or China, or Iran, or any of the other nations on this planet (and there are many!) where people who speak ill of the government get thrown in prison, tortured, raped, hanged, or sometimes all four.
They have no idea how lucky they are.
Mind Control
We doin alright, no complaints besides the swamp rats burning our fucking cities. But we waiting for political leftists to denounce this type of conjured peaceful protest.
Milwaukee, hold dear.
Because they want to be oppressed otherwise they can't be 'the good guys'
Because when you are dead inside, you sometimes need to shove your hand into the meat slicer just to feel something.
Just had flashbacks to that Mickey Rourke movie, The Wrestler.
It's victimhood mixed with the human race is going extinct garnished with all your problems in life come from (insert group) and not your personal choice with a blind eye to the reality that they live in a shithole.
It's the safe space episode of Southpark, but real.
They breathe it alright. And when they get drunk I will offer them my delicious ribs. https://imgur.com/a/Jzfq0eL
My delicious grilled pizza
Because grilling is a patriarchal, racist, blah blah blah blah (insert word salad)....
