Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

  • It’s the natural evolution of unchecked right wing power and greed in a capitalist system, it’s pretty much as far right as you can go. Get the “right” person in power, the right propaganda systems in place, the “right” economic hardships in place and you can easily manipulate enough people to let you become a dictator and even want you to become dictator.

    Trick them with excessive nationalistic theater and they believe they’re being “patriots” defending their country from the big bad enemy you’ve made of your political opposition. You cannot allow that opposition to ever regain power that could threaten you so you literally crush them and the machinery that allows them to grasp at power.

    It’s pretty much all about power and greed with a disgusting dash of sadism.

    This is America, we’re just finally going full “mask off.”

    We’re a disgusting disgrace of a country, chock full of Nazis, Nazi apologists, fascist propagandists, and fascist billionaires. I’d argue we never really were anything different, we just had a decent streak of cowards running the show that just wanted to satisfy endless greed without rocking the boat too much. The current bunch relish the chaos, hatred, neck stomping and 40% of the population are absolutely here for it and want more.

    It’s only downhill from here. :(






  • you just want to pay a lot of money to make them miserable, and also waive any benefit that society could recoup from having them be fed.

    Pretty much what they want, but some are even worse. There is a phrase “3 hots and a cot” to mean 3 meals and a place to sleep. People like my uncle say it with disgust, as if they shouldn’t be fed, that they’re somehow on an enviable vacation being in prison… They’re so gross…





  • The problem is how these people view “fairness.”

    To them it’s “unfair” that “I have to work and buy my own food, while you take my hard earned money and give it to someone who doesn’t work!” (Not my mentality, just providing their argument)

    They don’t care about the cost to imprison because “they broke the law. If I break the law I go to jail.” at that point cost doesn’t matter to them.
