Iran is really geopoliticking circles around us. It's already never been smarter or easier to distance yourself from the US at this point. Iran saying "raise your hand if you want to admit you aren't a US ally anymore and your power grid wont collapse" i a pretty great angle.

Great points, should have clarified the human need OF PEOPLE WITH NOTHING TO BE PERSONALLY PROUD OF.

But since we're talking about libs figured that was self evident.

The human need to find somebody to consider yourself better than is unsettlingly universal.

This isn't talked about enough. Also plays in to why the job market is shit, people are pissed about competing with immigrants making $12/ hr but not the literal slave labor thays like $2/ hr.

Everybody willingly carries a recording device with sound video and GPS tracking in their pockets at all time. Worrying about any kind of surveillance is pointless if you dont leave your ph9ne at home every day.

I really hate to tell you this but 80% of the country thinks the dems are either communists or the ultimate arbiter of good.

There is very little actual criticism of the dem party from the left under current political framework.

Universal Healthcare, workers rights, and a higher minimum wage are all incred8bly popular.

Until somebody on fox or cnn says those policies are too far left and 4/5ths of the country nods in agreement.

They're promising that everybody will have more than enough after telling all the people who correctly said they didn't have enough they were wrong for 4 years.

I can not describe how much it's going to piss people off if the democrats claim to be for abundance after 4 years of telling people "actually the economy great, I don't give a fuck if everything in the grocery store has doubled in price in 12 months look at this graph you fucking dumbass"

I mean seriously, "fight for $15" has floundered for so long it's not even viable anymore. I really can't wait to see the reaction when the people who have shived anybody who says "Medicare for all" start trying this utopianism bullshit.

"Well make sure there's abundance"

"I can't afford groceries and just got kicked of off snap and everybody who has ever said the word abundance supported that"

Remeber how Bidens only ambitious policy was that they were gonna find a cure for cancer and he randomly started mentioning that out of nowhere.

I'm going with right around then for a diagnosis.

It's like how Americans say it's bad that Cuba is fully literate because the government only teaches people how to read so they can spread propoganda earlier.

I'm saying there's like 4 like minded people and we all already know each other. My mom's retired so she has time to volunteer at the local food pantry. The vast majority of people who come in are chuds who gloat to the volunteers about all the great stuff trumps doing because they know my mom and the other women who volunteer are all liberals.

I'm saying your strategy of not being realistic about how much of an impedance the slack jawwed local contingent is gonna be is flawed.

They're the one holding us back, as has been true for the entirety of this country, and saying it's not their fault that they are like this is a fundamental failure in planning.

It sucks but we've got to accept "if we just help these people improve their lives they'll come around" is literally not true. I live in upstate new york surrounded by people that would either freeze or starve to death in the winter if it weren't for state run organizations. They also all have giant flags on their homes and vehicles making it very clear they want to get rid of those programs because they dont like all the lazy undeserving people taking advantage of the programs that keep them alive.

Kind of hard to build a community with the people with giant "fuck your feelings" flags on the side of their house.

That's what I'm saying, maybe you can't blame people for believing a lie but you can absolutely blame people for being literally antisocial and willfully ignorant.

I'm not going to waste my time and put my friends and family at risk by trying to build a community with people who would call them slurs. Especially because they are, fundamentally, antisocial assholes.

You try to build something with them and then as soon as that "thing" has any value they'll attack you and try to take it from you. That's their idea of a smart strong guy, being completely willing to fuck over and lie to other people. It's why trumps president, and he's still got north of 90% approval with people who voted for him, which makes up about 70% of my community.

As soon as you had more food then they deemed appropriate, which is going to be basically any amount, they'll take that using the guns they've been hoarding in the hopes of having an excuse to shoot me. Kinda hard to focus on food and security with those people.

Frankly I'm getting pretty tired of the response to me getting upset at fascist to be "yea but you gotta understand they've enthusisatically brainwashed themselves because somebody told them it was a trans person's fault their boss fired him and that seemed like a good point to them"
