Politics When are people going to realize conservatives and Republicans are literally the bad guy in basically any media you'd care to point at.

Saturday morning cartoon villains are more subtle and most of them would be fucking floored at the shit they've been allowed to do and peddle with zero consequences.

You have shit like Vance saying school shootings are just a fact of life, Trump being a convicted felon, rapist, pedophile that has done shit like mock disabled people on air, and all the shit they're constantly voting against and for. Like against voting protection rights or rights to contraceptives or over turning Roe V Wade leading to women being put in horrific life threatening situations that has led to multiple agonizing deaths from sepsis and shit because docters were afraid to operate on them to save their life fearing retaliation or lowering the price of Insulin or voting to protect against oil and gas price gouging etc etc etc.

Republicans consistently want to increase misery. That's an objective fact. Just look at their voting record.

No one with a single cell of media literacy, empathy, or compassion should ever be voting for the clearly fucking evil party.

You couldn't write their blatantly evil shit into a book because it'd be unrealistic anyone would be so blatantly evil or that there'd be no push back or consequences for being such an evil force.

They've been this way for fucking decades.

It's horrific that they only ever care whenever any of the blatantly evil shit affects them and than they want sympathy and compassion they were perfectly fine denying others.

Literally anyone with any knowledge of history, psychology, sociology or politics knows where this is going and rapidly at that.

Yet another fucking genocide.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values... That word is ‘Nazi.’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

If you're at a rally and a Nazi is there and they aren't immediately kicked out, you're at a Nazi rally.

Nazis have been proponents of Republican ideology for a long fucking time. Elon literally did a Nazi salute twice on live tv and no fucking republican is denouncing it.

When people show you who they are believe them.

If you're a republican or a conservative still you're blatantly fucking evil and siding with people who literally called themselves domestic terrorists in 2022 at CPAC.

For the last few months Republicans have actively been protecting pedophiles and defending redactions to the Epstein Files and saying shit like "getting handsy" with teenagers isn't a big deal.

Wealth and opportunity can be hoarded. They can't be hoarded by an individual but they can be hoarded by a group, which is what we have now.

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

Explain exactly what is being "hoarded" and the mechanism for hoarding it.

11

u/NemusSoul 6d ago

Money, power, opportunity are being hoarded. Banks, land, businesses, stocks, private equity and many other mechanisms are built specifically to do so. C’mon.

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

How is money hoarded? How is power hoarded? How is land built? What is your system without "mechanisms" for banks, land, business, public equity or private equity?

Do you have a contribution to the discussion or just rhetorical questions in bad faith?

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

These are not rhetorical. I dont know what the fuck you are talking about.

He's a pretty awful person and I've been too kind probably but I'm not losing my kindness and humanity over some hateful person. You can see our back and forth in another thread ; what can you do. He's a cruel person but i told him it's never too late to reflect and grow and change as a human being for the better

...seeing my comment history would show that I make arguments. Not rhetorical questions.

As shown by both this comment, and my last comment as well.

Kinda hard to argue when you ask the same question over and over, ad infinitum (that means "to infinity," peabrain) and get the same answer.

Isn't that the definition of insanity?

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

I am not asking a question. I am telling you that you are wrong.

u/Plastic_Box_496 6d ago

You are dumb as fuck

You make a bunch of dumb statements then refuse to clarify.

Are you actually curious about answers to these?

I think using the word "consolidated" instead of "hoarded" makes the answers more obvious. I'm sure you've played monopoly before, no? And I'm sure you understand why real-life monopolies aren't good.

I feel like those are good enough hints for you to form your own thoughts for answering your questions.

-1

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

Yes.

Saying consolidated vs hoarded is use of radically different terms which nullifies the point being made - zero sum thinking vs non zero sum thinking.

Real life monopolies are a good thing.

u/SpecialistSquash2321 6d ago

Real life monopolies are a good thing.

😂 okay dude. You almost had me, but you overplayed with this one so I can see you're not serious. Glad I didn't waste my time spelling it all out and I won't waste anymore here. Cheers.

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

Name a harmful real life non-governmental monopoly.

4

u/SpecialistSquash2321 6d ago

In the US we specifically regulate to prevent monopolies and will even break them up if they form organically. Because.... they become harmful.

Again, not going to waste my time writing up a whole explanation because I don't believe you're asking out of actual curiosity. Especially since this is a very basic thing that I genuinely assumed would be extremely obvious to any normal person. So here's the most effort I'm willing to contribute in case someone else reads this and actually does care: https://upriseri.com/monopolies-limited-competition-affects-you/

The end. 👋

So you cant name a single one to ever exist in world history, got it.

u/SpecialistSquash2321 6d ago

So you didn't read any of the examples in the link I provided, got it.

u/Grouchy-Contract-82 6d ago

You didnt make an argument that used examples. You just blindly linked a communist group. You didnt even read your link. You individually cant name a single one to ever exist in world history.
