All well and good until mom's retirement accounts tank and you can no longer live in her basement.

The whole "liberal tears" stuff came from the gingers episode.

That's a "soy console", OP will wake up once his PC will cost 2-3 times as much thanks to tariffs.

The opposite of pro life is mandatory abortion for all.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Wouldn't it require going to full term, and then aborting post delivery?

Or maybe it's forced sterilization for all?

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

aborting post delivery?

Up to 120 years post delivery?

A lot of different comments, and I know this is a greentext, but I wonder what people here think about americans who have 3 jobs and can only barely pull through?

Such people have nothing more to lose, everybody constantly keeps forgetting about them, the homeless, sick people... the list goes on.

And I'm not saying acceleration is good, but for the lost people, nothing good is coming from any side. And the pressure keeps getting worse. Even from the democrats.

So what is the solution, achievable as the world is now?

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Such people have nothing more to lose,

This is a very big flaw in that kind of argument. It might look like that but there are plenty of worse situations human beings have been in historically. There is no war going on, food and clean water and shelter (even with heating and lighting) are actually available,...

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely! That kind of thinking of "I have nothing to lose" is pretty dangerous on politics. You still have a truckload more to lose. Mostly in matter of rights mostly but imagine being in worse dystopias the oligarchy would love to put you on just to squeeze an extra penny from you or better yet read about it in history books.
The worst part is that it takes decades to fix the damage done, soon you realize there is no bottom to touch to think "you can only go up" there is only the moment you guys realize "enough is enough".

[–] _core@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

That kind if abstract thinking isn't in that person's wheelhouse. They're focused on their next meal, which bill to pay (or partially pay), and if that pain is worth the time/money lost going to urgent care. They aren't thinking about the long term effects or side effects of political arguments.

The best thing to come of all of this would be bookers suffer too.

Fuck you and your house and car and planed retirment

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 189 points 1 week ago (7 children)

"Fuck you, I never had mine" is definitely one of the positions one could take.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

Except we still live in ‘free’ market vibes based capitalism - where the profits are privatized, and the losses get socialized. If this tariff stupidity goes on, there will be some kind of bailout/grift like there always is. From PPP loans, sweetheart tax breaks, to liquidity bailouts for banks, the Fed will step in and Congress will have to do something to restore market and consumer confidence. Or else we all facetank turbo inflation, job losses, and stagnant wages in a new economic depression.

If these NEETs were old enough to have been alive during the 2008 crash, they spent it playing Modern Warfare 2 and wondering why everyone else had big sad - after all, they still had vidya, porn, and tendies living at home.

The problem with NEET-ism is you eventually run out of your parent's money.

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 37 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That's where the goverment suppoorted neet's come into the picture.

I know some neet's who get more money from goverment than some people working 60 hour jobs.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't feel like someone relying on government helps would think some corporate fascist who generally wants to reduce government spendings represents their interest, but then again I don't think there is a logical framework in which we won't conclude that OP is at least a little bit dumb. But what makes me favour the parents supported hypothesis is the "never paid for anything " part.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.

Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.

I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.

Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

There's also the idea that they've earned their government money. I once dealt with someone like that. Her ptsd disability money was earned unlike everyone else who didn't suffer for it in her eyes. Higher taxes meant her victims (she was emotionally abusive af) couldn't spend as much on her and higher government spending meant that the government couldn't spend as much on her.

These people don't think that their money will go away.

They seem oddly confident in the police state and cultural sharia they voted for will never come for them.

Or they don't care. Don't underestimate how self destructive depression can be.

How did they never pay for anything? Shoplifting? Are they literally a statue of a Confederate general?

Loans

Anon has never had a job, and banks need income to give you a loan.

The most dangerous people are those with nothing to lose.

The least dangerous people are those with nothing to gain.
