This is great, but republicans are gonna hate it. They want everyone to hate taxes with a passion, so they make it difficult, time consuming and expensive to pay your taxes, and make government services as bad as possible so even poorer people who don't pay much tax feel they get a bad deal out of taxation.

If ordinary people found it easy and convenient to pay taxes they might notice that they get more out of government than they put in and that rich people are bearing more of the cost than they are. If they thought that, they might support tax increases or things that horrify republicans like medicaid for all.

You say that because you commit crimes of indecency against confectionary and you like to think of yourself as immune to radicalisation. Don't kid yourself. Come back to all that is right and good before it's too late for you.

It's symptomatic. Symptomatic of the abandonment of all that is proper and decent. Would our great grandparents have eaten candy like this? Would they have celebrated their rebellious ways so boldly? No, they'd have been ashamed. Ashamed of their wicked rule breaking. Rule breaking just for the sake of it. Rule breaking, not for mercy, not in exceptional circumstances, not out of desperation or having no other options, but role breaking just to show off how little respect they have in their hearts.

So yes, yes, people are eating bad candy so incorrectly that you can TELL society is on the point OF COLLAPSE.

This is indicative of a terrible malaise in education, in parenting, in intergenerational transfer of values, in respect and in good manners. No wonder the far right are on the rise, that Naziism is again celebrated. These edgelords will be the first to join the SS, just to shamelessly show off how wicked they are. Have we learned nothing? Are we so quick to repeat history's darkest mistakes?

Well, nothing we didn't already know and fail to apply, anyway.

See, this is what's wrong with society today.

I'm happy to let mods carve out a bunch of niche communities with their own preferences. The fediverse is a big place. If you don't like instances that are protective of LGBT+ folks you're cutting it down a bit, but genuinely, you seem to be deliberately picking topics that troll the specific community you're posting on, then you complained that they took it down. Post where your post will be welcome, stop complaining when you post where you already know it's not. Reddit and twitter are pretty right wing and troll friendly. Maybe you'll be happier there.

One of my best friends says Tony Blair was the best Tory prime minister we ever had.

Fair enough, yeah, you don't want to be reading anything more complicated than a sentence or two, otherwise the might be a risk of developing understanding or perspective. Best avoided.
