There was one reply Rufo retweeted which was basically "You could live the 1950s lifestyle on this budget so I don't get why you're complaining."
First of all, lol no. That's enough to buy your home and raise a family on a single income and have a comfortable retirement if you live in Smallville. How many fast food manager positions are there in Smallville? Two? Three? You're gonna be the one in a thousand who gets that position? If you live somewhere with an active tech industry (you know, the places that have the jobs you're qualified for), your cost of living is gonna be way higher. And god forbid you're trying to find work in your hometown, rather than being an economic migrant in your own country.
Second, what happened to 70 years of growth? What happened to four generations of sacrifice between now and then that we can only afford 1950s wealth to our own people? Well I know what happened to that wealth. You formed an Everyone But White Men coalition, paid off the peons, and took the rest for yourselves. Or at least, some people did - Rufo gets paid more in momentary influence than actual wealth, because he apparently has the disposition of a woman who settles for being the third wife in a polygamy.
Nobody cuts cope quite like libertarians. There's no fucking psyop. They're getting treated the same way leftists are for the same reasons. Having your wages driven into the dirt and your culture and people replaced is the same problem no matter which banner you do it under.
Lots of people spent the year talking about how the left was gonna put the woke away, and they didn't.
Trump's not even in office yet and his right-wing allies are putting the populism away.
Even if I accepted the idea that (to paraphrase) diversity was our strength, trading players is one of the many Fake elements that makes sports Fake and Gay. The players can be from fucking anywhere, so the location names are just part of a brand. Maybe you can get away with that in a sports team, but that's a suicidal way to run a country. Or, murderous, if you happen to be the one making the decisions.
Both at once, probably. Allow your subjects to keep their wealth as long as they do so outside the country, and as long as they work on behalf of the country. The Chinese and the Soviets both seized all their gardens, but the Chinese eventually learned from the Soviet failures that if all you do is plunder them, pretty soon there'll be nothing left to take.
Well at least that means if Doug goes rogue cuts us off, even our yassified military could probably walk in and turn it back on.
Funny that one of the supposed threats from the US is seizing power plants, which provide power to both the US and Canada, when Doug Ford himself threatened to cut power to the States. Not "joked," tried to escalated a trade dispute into the sort of shit that we bomb people over.
Canada is a nation of weak liberal crybullies whose sole cultural feature is "owning the chuds," even if it means killing themselves to do it. They were never worth giving the bloody nose they deserved, but if they're going to insist on it...
Edit: Actually, thinking about it, Trump invading to take control of Canadian power plants is probably a talking point delivered from upon high, to poison the well in the event of a very justified seizure. They still control enough of the media and communications channels to erase any of Canada's fucking around up to the point where they find out.
LTT being told about it and only responding in a forum post that maybe 1/100,000 of the people they ever advertised shouldn't even be surprising at this point. Page 9 retraction on a front page story, Youtuber shill edition. I'm going to be obnoxiously consistent about bringing that up whenever LTT is mentioned in the future.
This hot potato bullshit over his schizophrenic statements are tiring and pointless. What I know is that he's an Arab who felt entitled to European lands and killed random, innocent Europeans. Maybe he was actually a Muslim, maybe not, but he was clearly no different to them in all the ways it mattered. And maybe he loved the Jews, or maybe not, but Jews overwhelmingly support his kind being in Europe either way - They weren't going to adopt Europe for the Europeans whether or not this one retarded Arab worshipped them.
Every side of the opposite trench has been firing at us so I don't really care which section this one particular bullet came from.
The sad part is, this is their response to community-wide drama a couple years back over one of their tranny pets being (rightfully) accused of being a sex pest. Most of the moderators across multiple websites conspired to cover it up even after he admitted to it, citing "bigotry" as the sole reason for banning people. There was a leak of their special Discord channel and everything. Some of the people responsible for it voluntarily gave up some power, but they're still allowed to hang around and the culture hasn't changed at all. They're still all mutant fag-worshipping leftists who are no doubt still grooming kids while the mods play interference.
And this is the guy hitting me with the "How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning" meme.
The mechanical process of profit, in the smallest possible scope, is not an accurate description of health insurance or why people pay for it. If a lack of suffering was profitable, and suffering went away, would they continue to be profitable? Of course not. It would just stop existing. Clearly this is not a useful analysis.
Insurance only exists in the context of a collective of payers, across a period of time, where the reality is that some suffering is guaranteed, but nobody can flawlessly predict, who, when, and how. This is the smallest possible scope to describe health insurance.
In that context, the only reason people pay for health insurance is because they'd rather not suffer, and it's the most (if not only) practical means to alleviate it. Take away the alleviation but keep their money, and you're left with a company that profits even more by stealing your means of not suffering. And that's a painfully roundabout way of saying "They profit off of your suffering."
People living in isolation aren't paying for insurance and not getting covered. Your spastic rambling wouldn't make sense even if I was the person you just made up. How fucking stupid are you?
But the condition running its course is the normal state of things.
Congratulations on having the most retarded take I've seen so far.
That's even more pathetically desperate than sucking dick for crack money.
I already am fair game. We all are. That's why he was able to enrich himself at the expense of our lives. People were fucking dying, fighting with his company to get the coverage that they paid for, and you're too stupid to realize that that could only happen because we were all already fair game.
My people come first, and those fat fucking parasites running health insurance trade my people's lives by the thousands so their line can go up slightly steeper. When your "nation of laws" stops using my kind as serfs, I might not think of you as a bitch for your pearl-clutching over one dead psychopath.
Everyone getting defensive about it has to keep qualifying it with "kids show." Yeah, that's my point. You're not a kid, and these are not adults appreciating something for the value it brings to children. These are adults lining up for the cultural equivalent of a Happy Meal, and I'm gonna judge that no matter how well-made the toy is.
The intersection of Jewish social invulnerability, cock insecurity, and total disregard for men's humanity makes circumcision impossible to confront even though it's a totally insane practice when you just describe it outright. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, there will always be somebody on "your side" who has a problem with you bringing it up.
As a show, Korra is basically the End of History with a self-righteous magical brown woman at its head.
In less than a century, civilization has ended.
And even the original cartoon is a children's cartoon, about as sophisticated as Teen Titans. People still obsessing over it into their 30s is fucking pathetic. It does not stand up if you ever mentally grew into your teens, let alone adulthood.
People have been focusing on the "risk" part of it, when what she said was actually even dumber.
You take Aspirin to reduce pain, and shit like kidney failure is a side-effect which is a rare and unintentional reaction. When you block puberty...blocking puberty is the entire point. Weak bones, micropenis, impotence, and emotional incontinence aren't a "risk," it's something you did intentionally, and happens literally every single time, because puberty is the growth beyond those problems.
Only to liberals could you have to explain that if you break your legs, your legs are broken.
If Aspirin worked the way sex changes and hormone blockers did, if they were actually comparable the way she understands it, it would be by rotting your organs until the nerves died and you couldn't feel the pain anymore.
Whenever the trannies cry about how right-wingers just want to wipe them out, I have to regularly stop myself from saying "Well, not at first..."
Nothing happened, it's always been like that. /r/stupidpol's mods are all either orthodox Marxists (the kind who actually believe that all answers to all problems can be found in "theory"), or exiled liberals who can't come to terms with their political foundations being broken. They're not actually opposed to idpol, they're just opposed to being on the outside, and idpol was the weapon used against them. They've allowed a wide range of political positions in their subreddit because it's the only way they could actually populate the sub (and therefore fulfil the leftist janny impulse), but they'll never let it get too far away from them for fear of losing control. Humiliation, random bannings, and comment filters are how they achieve that.
I've said it before, but the original "transphobic screed" that the Queen TERF Rowling wrote came down to:
Transwomen aren't women, because women are good and men are bad, and you can't change that.
My favorite landmark in my old neighborhood is a stump with a sign for a reforestation organization on it.
