My sibling in Christ: Fear not.
This persecution is exactly that which Jesus forewarned us about.
Jesus said, do good to those who hate us.
Jesus said, pray for those who persecute us.
Jesus said, if someone wants your shirt, give them your coat, too.
Jesus said, if someone wants to hit your right side, let them hit your left side, too.
In essence, Jesus was telling us to be non-violent.
When the people in Jesus's hometown wanted Jesus to leave, Jesus left. Jesus didn't stick around and force Himself on anyone.
Then, when Jesus was being arrested, Peter chopped off one of the guard's ears. Jesus told Peter not to do that, and Jesus healed the guard.
When the people wanted Jesus arrested, Jesus allowed the people to arrest Him.
When the people wanted Jesus's life, Jesus allowed the people to it take His life.
When the people wanted Jesus dead, Jesus allowed the people to kill Him.
In practice, Jesus was showing us how to be non-violent, to the very end of our lives.
Jesus knew what His job was, and our job is similar.
Jesus knew that vengeance was not for Him to seek, nor it is for us to seek.
Jesus knew that God would deliver vengeance on behalf of Jesus when God was ready, and we need to remind ourselves that God will deliver vengeance on our behalf when God is ready.
🙏✌🤟✊

He's a walking contradiction.
Some of his contradictory statements are listed below.
--------------------
First, he says: 'I want to beat up some fucking commies.'
Then he says: 'We do kind of look aggressive... We're ready to get whomped on...'
Then he says: 'We're not aggressive.'
--------------------
First, he says: 'I wasn't political at all.'
Then he says: 'I was listening to (right-wing extremist) Alex Jones.'
--------------------
First, he says: 'I wasn't political at all.'
Someone asks him: 'You Mexican boys conservatives?'
He replies: 'Yeah!'
--------------------
She asks him: 'What do you say to people who say; "Proud boys are just violent. They just want to murder Antifa."'?
He answers: 'Poor media.'
But previously he said: 'Antifa made me want to join... I just want to beat up some fucking commies.'
--------------------
First says: 'I didn't care about left or right.'
Then says: 'So I joined the (right-wing extremists) Proud-Boys.'
--------------------
He says: 'So there's a group of men...'
But they call themselves boys and have the mindset of children
--------------------
First, he says: 'Fighting Antifa is 10 percent of what the Proud-Boys is about.
Then he says: 'There's 98% of what the media doesn't see about us.'
Sooo, if there's 98% that we don't see, but there is 10% which we do see, doesn't that make 108%?
I know, I'm nitpicking semantics. But who's really the idiot here?
--------------------
First, he says: 'I want to beat up some fucking commies.'
Then he says: 'We're God-fearing men'
But the Bible is anti-violence.
The Bible says: (Psalms 55:11) "The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul (God's soul) hates the lover of violence."
The Bible also says: (Proverbs 3:31) "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways."
Jesus said: (Matthew 5:38-39) "You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Jesus also said: (Matthew 26:52) "Put your sword back in its place. For all who live by the sword will die by the sword."
--------------------
He says: 'Buy me a beer. You're going to be my friend for the next 30 minutes.'
Then he says: 'We are drinkers. We are brawlers.'
But the Bible is anti-alcohol.
The Bible says: (Proverbs 20:1) 'Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by them is not wise.'
It also says: (Proverbs 23:31-35) 'Do not gaze at wine while it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things and your mind will utter perversities. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas or lying on the top of a mast: “They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”
It also says: (Ephesians 5:18) 'Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.'
--------------------
This kid reminds me of the main characters in the film 'American History X' (played by Edward Norton and Edward Furlong).
I call him a kid because of his child-like demeanor and undeveloped thought process.
He also reminds me of Frank Meeink (https://www.thedailybeast.com/he-was-the-neo-nazi-who-inspired-american-history-x-his-nazi-pals-are-now-cops).
He reminds me of the non-practicing extremists who distort and contort Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, which gives a bad name to decent practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
In the linear progression of ignorance > fear > anger > hate > violence > murder > genocide, as long as a person is one of those things, then the wealthy-class can exploit it to persuade a person to move along to the next level.
This kid is exactly the kind of rube that the wealthy-class loves to mark.

Look up and watch the most recent interview of Thomas Frank by RJ Eskow on The Zero Hour, and you'll get an idea as to why "lefties" recoil and fall in line when they enter "The Big Show" that is controlled by wealthy-class, right-wing, authoritarians.
When anyone to the left of the wealthy-class makes it to The Big Show, they are exposed to the fragility of society.
From now on, they will be reminded about the fragility that was displayed in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and how close some of them came to being made public examples of.
They are educated about what has happened to leftists in the past in this country -- the assassination of character, the imprisonment of bodies, the deportation of citizens, the disappearance of humans, and the forced separation of souls from their consciousness.
Then, they are asked if they want to become the first/next victim(s) of the fragility, if and when the wealthy-class decides to fabricate and allow the collapse of the systems that have been infiltrated and corrupted by the wealthy-class.
For most people, self-preservation of life, even though it benefits the wealthy-class minority, is paramount to self-sacrifice for liberty, even if it would benefit the working-class majority.
The reason these self-proclaimed leftists seem so feckless and ignorant is that they are preventing the demise of themselves and their families.
At the same time, they are avoiding the kind of collapse that is imposed upon foreign countries by the US when those foreign countries democratically elect actual leftist governments.

RFK is a right-winger. He'll govern like a right-winger, just like Clinton, Obama, and Biden.
*Start Scene
RFK: "I am a Capitalist, in favor of Capitalism!!!"
The wealthy-class: "OooOOOhhh!!! WE are also Capitalists in favor of Capitalism! AND we're anti-working-class!!!"
Capitalism: "WELLLLLL!!! I just happen to be an anti-working-class, right-wing economic ideology that favors the wealthy-class to the detriment of the working-class."
Narrator: "The wealthy-class, right-wing Capitalist, RFK, laughed. 😁
Then the wealthy-class, right-wing Capitalists laughed. 😅
Then Capitalism laughed. 😂
Then they all went out for chocolate milkshakes. 🤣
And they laughed and laughed, as they reminisced about how 150+ million of the Overton-stunted, politically-shallow, historically-ignorant, internationally-shielded, working-class American fools voted for the right-wing, Capitalist Red-team and the right-wing, Capitalist Blue-team in the 2020 POTUS election." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*End Scene
The pro-working-class American Leftists -- the ones who are the opposite of the Overton-stunted, politically-shallow, historically-ignorant, internationally-shielded, working-class American fools -- who know that the system of Capitalism, and Capitalists are the problem: 🙄

@flychomperfly Yup, you get a like. A labor-strike is only viable for a small portion of working-class people who don't need a paycheck during the strike. But a consumer-strike would be viable for all working-class people to participate in.
If a working-class person can't get food, clothes, shelter, & transpiration, then they can't participate in the strike.
A labor strike is only reasonable for a couple-few groups of working-class people to participate in:
1. Unionized working-class people who are lucky enough to be in unions that offer direct support, and won't let their union members lose their homes to foreclosure, or vehicles to repossession for the duration of the strike. I don't think this exists in any union, but I could be wrong.
2. Non-unionized working-class people who (a)have their mortgages & vehicles paid off AND (b)have some savings stored up to buy necessities for the duration of the strike.
3. Upper working-class people who have support from family members who are in the wealthy-class, or adjacent to the wealthy-class, who will help their upper working-class family members during a strike. Most of these upper working-class people side with the wealthy-class owners anyway.
Now, a consumer-strike, on the other hand, could be participated in by many more working-class people, and also have desired effects.
But that would entail working-class people to give up some of their addictions. Only buy necessities. Stop purchasing out-of-home entertainment. Stop going out to eat. FFS, stop going out for anything, except necessities.
Working-class people need to stay home, shut up -- pretend it's COVID again if they have to -- and wait for the wealthy-class to panic. And wait for the prices of things to drop.
Sure, a consumer-strike will also have ripple-effects throughout the working-class, but a consumer-strike is much more viable for a much larger percentage of the working-class population to participate in than a labor-strike.
If most lower & middle working-class people stopped working, especially those who are non-unionized, they wouldn't have to worry about purchasing out-of-home entertainment, because most of them would end up without a home.
And a lot of those working-class people are so dumb, they've already been duped into blaming the wrong people for their struggles, and they've already been primed for violence by their RW-masters.
So, for that reason, i'd prefer to mitigate the speed of the ripple-effects as much as possible.
However, it's possible that a labor-strike, a consumption-strike, or a strike of any kind, might cause all the ripple-effects necessary to cause chaos.
The ripple-effects of any strike could end up being the sparks that ignite the tinder-box of socioeconomic political-kindling that the corrupt wealthy-class has built, with their corrupt RW-politics, under the feet and over the heads of working-class people over the last 50-100 years.
So, that would really suck.
I've been under-employed for 3 out of the last 10 years, and unemployed (acting as a quasi/neo indentured-servant) for 7 out of those 10. So, yeah, I would kind of like some things to change (understatement of the decade). But I'm not an accelerationist.
I've been living a "strike" lifestyle for a decade. I even spent some time homeless. So I'm prepared to handle tough times, and worse. But most working-class people are not.
I heard one RW-extremist political pundit has publicly say that there are some working-class people who are ready to "eat their neighbors." I don't want it to come to that.
But don't get me wrong, I know that mass action is the only way to get out of the RW-extremist sh!tehole that the wealthy-class is driving the working-class into. So, I'm all for a strike of ANY kind.
Perhaps, better yet, do BOTH a labor-strike AND a consumer-strike at the same time.
Do whatever is most effective while taking any, every, and all measures to preserve human-life.

These children, with their child-sized brains, may have been coached (and, sure, many of them probably were). But they've been coached to speak adult-sized truths. Unlike the right-wing adults from the working-class, with their child-brains stuck in adult-sized bodies, who have been coached by the wealthy right-wing owners of FoxNews, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, etc.

Jill Stein did an interview in which she wouldn't call Putin a war-criminal. You know who else won't call Putin a war-criminal? The RW-extremist Republicans, that's who. With that being said; BOTH political-parties in the US are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class with their corrupt RW-politics. Jill Stein is a member of the same wealthy-class.
She has had OVER a decade to build-up the party she represents, and she has done next to NOTHING. And if she's done anything, it has been wildly ineffective.
As Robert Reich said of Steve Mnuchin, Stein is either a fool or a knave. But, considering she's a member of the wealthy-class, like Mnuchin is, I'm going to go with the latter.
I wouldn't vote for Stein any sooner than I would vote for a RW-extremist Repub or a moderate-RW Democrat.
And I wouldn't vote for either of those two RW-parties before I voted for a ham sandwich.
And I hate ham sandwiches.

@Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs Maybe it depends on the kind of loan. But, for some loans, they can garnish Social Security or Pension payments.
My dad is retired and in his late 60s, and they are currently garnishing 20-ish percent of his monthly Social Security and/or pension to pay for it.
My dad took out one student loan, on my behalf, 20 years ago. It was a Parent PLUS loan. When the bills started coming in the mail, my dad discarded the bills because he thought they were junk mail.
Additionally, my dad didn't comprehend what was happening when he took out the loan. My mom talked him into doing it.
I didn't even know he (and my mom) took the loan out on my behalf, because I applied for, and received all of my student loans ($100K worth) in my own name with no co-signers. (Which, in and of itself, is absurd, considering I was making between 7-8 dollars per hour at a part-time job when I applied for them.)
I often wonder if my mom (who is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt herself) committed some sort of fraud to get the money from the PLUS loan for herself. But without proof, it doesn't really matter.
Anyway, yes, they can and will garnish the fixed incomes of senior citizens, or they will put liens on property.
Capitalism is like a cancer that keeps on growing. That cancer's name is inequality.
Capitalism causes addiction-driven mental illnesses in the wealthy-class knaves who perpetrate it, and in the working-class fools who help the wealthy-class to perpetuate it.
/End rant.

Logic, reason, cognitive dissonance, The Dunning-Kruger Effect, The Four Stages of Competence, The Paradox of Tolerance, equity, equality, oppression, repression, and suppression, micro/macroeconomics, propaganda, indoctrination, social/psychological conditioning.
All of those things are understood by the wealthy right-wingers who own the Repub & Dem parties. And those wealthy right-wing Repubs & Dems remain in power because the working-class Repub & Dem right-wingers do not understand those things.
Ignorant working-class fools were the reason why wealthy Confederate & Nazi right-wingers were able to remain in power. And that's why wealthy right-wingers don't want an intelligent working-class -- because ignorant working-class fools will vote against their own interests, and they won't even be able to comprehend it.
Ignorant working-class fools will be the reason the U.S. sh!thole will fall. Just like ignorant working-class fools were the reason the Confederate and Nazi sh!tholes fell. I just hope I live long enough to see it.

Dear Jordan/Team,
Perhaps you could/should start asking more questions through the lens of class-consciousness & shame -- specifically when you're talking to the working-class employees of these wretched-corporations, like the guy at the Norfolk-Southern office.
Specifically, I mean that you could/should start asking the working-class employees(slaves) how they feel about their wealthy-class owners(masters). For example, you could ask questions like the following:
1. How can you, as a member of the working-class, sleep at night, knowing that your employers, who are members of the wealthy-class, have turned you into an accomplice to the criminal-harm that has been committed against other, innocent working-class people?
2. How can you sleep at night, knowing that you are (a)partially-responsible for the initial-harm that was committed in the past, and (b)directly-responsible for the continued-harm that is still being committed in the present?
3. How can you sleep at night, knowing that your actions, right now, are directly-contributing to (a)the continued criminal-harm of other, innocent working-class people?
4. How can you sleep at night, knowing that your actions, right now, are helping to generate more profits for the corporation's owners, and that those owners are going to use the profits that you helped to generate, to shield themselves from any accountability?
5. How can you sleep at night knowing that your corporate owners, who are members of the wealthy-class, don't care about the lives of your fellow working-class mates who are innocent?
Those questions could certainly be improved upon, but they can serve as a rough-draft.
And asking those kinds of shame-inducing questions can absolutely be change-inducing as well.
These working-class people (like the guy at the Norfolk-Southern office) willingly choose/volunteer to work for these wretched corporations, and these kinds of questions can make them reconsider their choice to volunteer their labor to the wretched-corporations that are owned by the immoral knaves of the wealthy-class.
I admit that questions like the ones I've proposed won't change the hearts & minds of all working-class people, but they WILL change some.
Thank you Jordan (and all of you who work with Jordan), for your service.
Sincerely,
P.S. More Steve Grumbine & Richard Wolff, please!

The Libertarian Party is backed by the same billionaire donors, from the same corrupt wealthy-class, with the same corrupt RW-politics, as the Repub & Dem Parties. FFS, the Libertarian party was started by the billionaire, RW-extremist Kock brothers, and they are the ones who funded the whole Citizens United debacle.
The working-class dupes at the state & local levels, who have fallen for the Libertarian Party ruse that was concocted by the wealthy-class, have ruined the municipalities where they have infiltrated, just like the wealthy-class ruins all of the place they go on the national & international levels.
The Libertarian Party is not "libertarian" in concept, just like the Republican & Democratic Parties are neither republican nor democratic in concept. They are all authoritarian in concept, and they are all bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt, wealthy-class authoritarians and their corrupt RW-politics.
And working-class dupes in the US are too ignorant to comprehend it, so they continue to vote for their own oppression.
And voting for the Libertarian Party is just more of the same.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be snide, but what in the actual f@kc are you talking about? You never thought you'd see this?? Where did you get your education??? This has been going on FOREVER.
Corporations are the modern-day version of plantations, and cops are the modern-day version of slave-patrols.
A long time ago, cops served the wealthy-class capitalists who owned humans and plantations.
Now, cops serve the wealthy-class capitalists who own property and corporations.
Cops do the same thing now that slave-patrols did in the past. They go around instilling fear and delivering violence to the working-class citizens on behalf of the wealthy-class owners.
The 13th Amendment didn't end slavery. The 13th Amendment expanded slavery to include anyone in the working-class who could be convicted of a crime.
The job of cops isn't to protect the working-class. Their job is to expand the population of slaves by turning working-class people into criminals.
Since Chris Smalls won't shut up and work for his Amazon-masters, those Amazon-masters want to make Chris into a criminal-slave on a prison-plantation.
This division between the wealthy-class and the working-class has been going on ever since the invention of money.
The people who invented money became the wealthy-class. They use the money to maintain power and privilege over the working-class.
The wealthy-class uses the money, power, and privilege to turn the workers against each other. They give some workers more money than they give other workers.
By giving some workers more money than other workers, that extra money convinces the workers with more money to believe they were better than the workers who get less money.
The wealthy-class uses the money to buy the services of higher-paid workers to keep the lower-paid workers living in fear of destitution and poverty.
Cops get paid a little bit more than average members of the working-class. And with those few extra crumbs from the master's table, cops inflict all sorts of injustice on the lower-paid members of the working-class.
Cops are the primary class-traitors among the working-class.

Making paper at home -- the processes, the ingredients -- is vastly different from making paper in an industrial paper mill. Just like the industrial canned-foods sold at the grocery store are vastly different from the canned-foods I make at home.
I've made paper without a problem, too, on a small scale. But I've also worked in an industrial paper mill (for a day, and all I can say is, "f*kc that"). The ways and means for small versus industrial paper making are different, and can be vastly so.
But, even if your paper-making process and chemicals on a small-scale were similar to those of an industrial-scale paper mill, they are making exponentially more. And by "more," I literally mean more of everything.
Just like the industrial processes and chemicals that are used when it comes to canning foods, the industrial processes and chemicals used for making exponentially-scaled amounts of paper also produces an exponentially-scaled amount of byproducts. More paper equals more pollutants, carcinogens, hazardous waste, non-hazardous garbage, etc...
So the personal, small-scale and industrial, exponential-scale aren't really comparable so much as they are contrastable -- not only when it comes to the potential quantity and quality of the final, usable product, but also when it comes to the potential toxicity and severity of the resulting, harmful byproducts.
I suppose it would be like comparing the outcomes of drinking a shot of vodka versus a handle of Everclear. Or, like stubbing your toe versus getting hit by a train.
I'm not trying to be dramatic -- I'm just saying. They are entirely different scales of process and chemicals with entirely different scales of outcome and consequences.
On another note, I also have two uncles who worked in the same paper mill -- one on the production floor and one in the business office. They were in the same building, but only one had extensive health problems, and only one of them is still alive. I'll let you guess which one is which.
One uncle dead, one still alive; both right-wing pieces of sh!t who would've licked their owner's boots, or climbed to the top of the stacks and breathed in the smoke until they were dead, if the owner told them to. Okay, okay, that was dramatic. But f*kc 'em both anyway.
And f*kc anyone who thinks it's ok to subject people -- workers or citizens -- to this kind of poison.

You have to be a complete moron to think that your vote actually matters for women. You're going to get Project2025, whether you like it or not. You only get to decide the speed at which you get it, and you BARELY even get to decide that. Vote RW-extremist Repubs for quickly. Vote moderate-RW Dems for slowly. The US is a capitalist-fascist state, and no amount of voting will fix the corruption that is inherent to the systems of RW-politics.
The moderate-RW Dems could have codified "women's rights" into law, on multiple occasions -- most recently during the 111th Congressional-session, from 2009-2011, when Obama was in office and the Dems held both chambers of Congress AND the SCOTUS. But they didn't do it.
The RW-extremist Repubs could have criminalized "women's rights" by law, on multiple occasions -- most recently during the 115th Congressional-session, from 2017-2019, when Trump was in office and the Repubs controlled both chambers of Congress AND the SCOTUS. But they didn't do it.
And why did neither of the parties use their positions of power to do something that BOTH of their constituents wanted? Two answers:
1. Because BOTH parties are bought, owned, bribed & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
AND
2. Because, as long as working-class dupes (like you) are distracted by the sports-team facade of red vs. blue politics (like you are), then you'll continue fighting with with other working-class dupes over social-politics, and your distraction is what allows the corrupt wealthy-class to further entrench their corrupt RW-economic-politics, to increase their wealth, and, thus, their control over the distracted working-class.
Vote for the RW-extremist Repubs, for the fast, open-road from Capitalism to Fascism. The party is owned by the wealthy-class, and they want more wealth, and more control over the working-class, and they don't want to wait. They are funded by conniving-knaves from the wealthy-class, who are barely smart enough to play the short-game of political-checkers. The RW-extremist Repubs will implement Project2025 quickly, and you'll know it's coming because they'll announce it from the roof-tops.
Vote for the moderate-RW Dems for, the slower, disguised-road from Capitalism to Fascism. The party is owned by the wealthy-class, and they want more wealth, and more control over the working-class, but they are willing to wait for it. They are funded by conniving-knaves from the wealthy-class, who are playing the long-game of political-chess. The moderate-RW Dems will implement Project2025 more slowly, and you won't realize it's happening, because they won't put a label on it.
And, really, the corrupt wealthy-class has been working on objectives & legislation like Project2025 since the invention of currency, and working-class dupes (like you) have either (a)been too intellectually ill-equipped to stop them, or (b)outright supported them, like you have publicly announced that you're going to vote for Harris, who is their current plant in the moderate-RW Dem party).
Trump, Bush, Reagan, Johnson & McConnell = RW-extremists = the fast, open-road from theocratic-Capitalism to theocratic-Fascism.
Harris, Biden, Obama, Pelosi & Schumer = moderate-RWers = the slow & disguised-road from secular-Capitalism to secular-Fascism.
The US is a RW-sh!tehole that was designed by, of, and for the corrupt knaves from the wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
The US remains a RW-sh!tehole because of the corrupt dupes from the working-class, like you, who continue to vote for the inherent corruption of the corrupt wealthy-class and their corrupt RW-politics.
American working-class dupes, like you, claim to dislike & distrust the corrupt wealthy-class, but you keep voting for their corrupt RW-politics, while you strive to become members of the corrupt wealthy-class, yourselves.
It really is a disgusting country, teeming with corrupt & vile RWers, from the wealthy-class AND the working-class
I just hope I live long enough to watch the country cease to exist.
I would be embarrassed and ashamed to be dumb enough to vote for either of the RW-political parties in the US. And, somehow, you seem proud of your ignorance.
Congratulations...🥳
...you're a moron. 😒
P.S. Those "2 WHITE men" who you're referring to in the video; they realize and comprehend what I've written above -- they comprehend the difference between social-politics & economic-politics.
Those "2 WHITE men" comprehend the way that the wealthy-class uses social-politics to distract & divide working-class people (like you), so that while you and the other working-class dupes are fighting each other over social-politics, the wealthy-class can work together, through BOTH of the political parties that they've corrupted, to advance their corrupt-RW economic-politics to increase their wealth & power at the expense of the most vulnerable people in the working-class. It seems like you don't comprehend that.
You'd be doing yourself, your daughters, and other working-class people a favor if you would (a)stop falling for the social-politics trap of identity-politics that is pushed by the RW-extremist Repubs & moderate-RW Dems, and (b)listen to those "2 WHITE men" a little more closely. They spent a lot of the video talking about the economic-politics that effect ALL working-class people, while you're stuck in the social-politics trap of identity-politics as it pertains to gender/sex & race.
You need to understand that if the wealthy-class gains enough control over economic-politics (and they already have an indescribable amount of control), they'll just use their wealth to corrupt the remainder of the un-corrupted aspects of the political-system, to more fully enslave the working-class.
The more control that the wealthy-class has over economic-politics, the more it becomes like a slave-system, and the less that social-politics will even matter.
And, just like the RW-extremist Repubs, the moderate-RW Dems are helping the wealthy-class to increase their control over economic-politics and, thus, their enslavement of the working-class.
And you are helping them by supporting the moderate-RWer Harris.
Your ignorance would be blissfully-adorable if the ramifications of your voting weren't so abhorrantly-deplorable. And you're not alone. There are millions of American-dupes just like you.
In the last POTUS election, 75-million working-class dupes voted for the wealthy RW-extremist Repub (Trump), and 80-million working-class dupes voted for the wealthy moderate-RW Dem (Biden).
And you want to complain about those "2 WHITE men" in the video, who are spitting facts...
...SMDH
You're pathetic.

Look up and watch the most recent interview of Thomas Frank by RJ Eskow on The Zero Hour, and you'll get an idea as to why "lefties" recoil and fall in line when they enter "The Big Show" that is controlled by wealthy-class, right-wing, authoritarians.
When anyone to the left of the wealthy-class makes it to The Big Show, they are exposed to the fragility of society.
From now on, they will be reminded about the fragility that was displayed in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and how close some of them came to being made public examples of.
They are educated about what has happened to leftists in the past in this country -- the assassination of character, the imprisonment of bodies, the deportation of citizens, the disappearance of humans, and the forced separation of souls from their consciousness.
Then, they are asked if they want to become the first/next victim(s) of the fragility, if and when the wealthy-class decides to fabricate and allow the collapse of the systems that have been infiltrated and corrupted by the wealthy-class.
For most people, self-preservation of life, even though it benefits the wealthy-class minority, is paramount to self-sacrifice for liberty, even if it would benefit the working-class majority.
The reason these self-proclaimed leftists seem so feckless and ignorant is that they are preventing the demise of themselves and their families.
At the same time, they are avoiding the kind of collapse that is imposed upon foreign countries by the US when those foreign countries democratically elect actual leftist governments.

For a long time, NC & R-state voters have voted for the regressive RW-ideals of "small-government", "individualism", and "bootstraps". BOTH parties in the US are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. And the working-class dupes in the US, and particularly in R-states, continue to vote for BOTH corrupt, wealthy-RW parties. They, and apparently you, have voted for their own suffering.

Don't be fooled by the whining of the lazy wealthy-class and those who aspire to be such. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Just because Jonathan is right about this, that doesn't also make him right about the wealthy-class right-wing extremist ideology he champions.
The world doesn't need another authoritarian, right-wing extremist party that believes in mob-rule by the wealthy-class minority, comprised of land-holders, property-owners, slave-masters, feudal-lords, and manager-CEOs.
We already have that. We've had that for thousands of years. American Libertarians are no different than what the working-class has dealt with for millennia.
America already has one right-wing extremist party that is bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by the wealthy-class. America already has a party that champions selective-suffrage as dictated by the wealthy-class minority.
It's called the Repubocrat party.
Oops! Sorry.
It's called the Demlican party.
Whoopsie-daisy! Sorry, again.
It's called the Drempubolicancrat party... the Redempublicocratican party...
You get the idea.
American Libertarians are barely different from the current American monopoly-party that is masquerading as a duopoly. American Libertarians are just another iteration of the wealthy-class ruling over the working-class.
American Libertarians want the ruling-power to be concentrated in the hands of whoever can be the best liars, cheaters, thieves, connivers, manipulators, exploiters, and knaves. They just want the right to use open violence against the liars, cheaters, thieves, connivers, manipulators, exploiters, and knaves they disagree with.
The wealthy-class leaders of the American Libertarians want the right to do whatever they can with the power they can muster. And they are willing to perform whatever mental-gymnastics are necessary to dupe and trick anyone in the working-class into helping them exert that ruling-power.
The wealthy-class, right-wing extremist, American Libertarians will live the cushy-lifestyles of kings, lords, and owners, and they will do the same thing the current American ruling party does. The wealthy-class corruptors will co-opt the worst of the working-class dupes to maintain their economic minority-rule over the working-class.
The wealthy-class, right-wing extremist, American Libertarians will enlist the most violent and feeble-minded members of the working-class as their military and paramilitary forces. The wealthy-class will convince the working-class to commit violence against their fellow working-class mates.
The wealthy-class right-wing extremists already have working-class guerilla-forces spread across the country. They are even open with their identities, and they're honest about their biases. If you don't already know, then you need to educate yourself about them.
They are working-class, right-wing extremists who have committed their allegiance to the wealthy-class right-wing extremists who control the current ruling political party AND the American Libertarian Party.
I will name a few here: The Proud(biatch)Boys, The Oath(breaker)Keepers, The Boogaloo(will-murder-you)Boys, and the 3(brain-cell)Percenters. These working-class groups are funded and backed by the wealthy-class.
These working-class groups have publically shown their willingness to act as the violent-buffers between their wealthy-class masters and the better humans in the working-class. Examples are the conspiracy to kidnap and murder the Governor of Michigan and the insurrection, sedition, and coup attempt of January 6, 2021.
These violent, working-class, Libertarian dupes have been convinced to elbow from side-to-side at the working-class people with whom they have the most in common. They have been persuaded to kick-down at the least fortunate. They are dumb enough to fight for crumbs from the tables of the wealthy-class masters.
Those same violent, working-class, Libertarian dupes will sabotage the communities of working-class strangers. They will end the lives of their working-class friends, families, and neighbors. And they'll do it all for the verbal-promise of a few extra crumbs from the tables of their wealthy-class, Libertarian masters.
People like Jonathan Howe want to become the next wealthy-class millionaires chosen by the wealthy-class billionaires. If elected, Jonathan would be nothing more than the next McConnell, Schumer, McCarthy, Pelosi, Reagan, Bush(x2), Clinton(x2), Obama, Trump, and Biden.
Jonathan and others aspire to the same addictions as the wealthy-class billionaires (see Joe Manchin as an example). But, if they only get to be millionaires, they'll settle for the addictions they can afford as millionaires (see Kyrsten Sinema as an example).
They'll do the bidding of the wealthy-class as long as they don't have to contribute any working-class labor. They want to reap the benefits from the necessities produced and the communities maintained by the labor of the working-class, but they don't want to commit and labor to the production of those necessities or maintenance of those communities themselves.
Don't be fooled by the whining of the lazy wealthy-class and those who aspire to be such. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

The current prevalent zeitgeist, which has existed among many peoples throughout most, if not all, of human history, seems to be one of anti-intellectualism, amorality/immorality, and mono-culturalism. Ron is evidently against that zeitgeist, which is, I presume, the reason why people watch him. It seems like you're against some of that, too. People might actually watch/listen to you -- maybe even me -- don't let me discourage you.

These working-class dupes fell for the RW-propaganda of the wealthy-class that says, "sMaLL gOvErNmEnT gOOd!!!"🤪 These working-class dupes are now living the truthful-consequences of the faux-truth they voted for.
Also, I would bet that most anyone in NC, who is "living in a tent" related to the hurricane, is doing it (a)by choice, and/or (b)for clout, to (c)fuel the misplaced-outrage.
But even if these working-class dupes ARE living in tents against their will, it is important to remember, again, that they voted for their own suffering.
I've had to live in a tent against my will. BUT, I didn't vote for it.
My suffering, and the suffering of MILLIONS of people was caused by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the working-class dupes who voted for the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
I have sympathy & empathy for the working-class dupes who are suffering, but most of them voted for their own suffering, and they voted for the suffering of countless other innocent working-class people.
But, just because I have sympathy & empathy for the ignorant, working-class dupes who voted for their own suffering, that doesn't mean I'm going to coddle their ignorance.
Perhaps these working-class dupes, who voted for the "tough love" espoused by RW-politics, need to experience the "tough love" which they have repeatedly voted for.
Keep voting for RW-extremist Repubs & moderate-RW Dems, and this is what you're going to get. BOTH parties are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
Call the wealthy-class knaves. I'm sure they'll help. 🤣
Bunch of working-class dupes in the US. Helpless & hopeless morons. 🙄

@lynnr9297 That's basically the point -- "what is happening to these poor people could happen to any of us in the future." These dumb poor people are just reaping the consequences of their votes.
MOST of THESE dumb poor people voted for suffering. But THESE dumb poor people did not think they were voting for the suffering of people who look like them -- they thought they were voting for the suffering of OTHER poor people who do NOT look like them.
And, now, the smarter poor people are trying to explain to the dumb poor people that it's ALWAYS a dumb idea to vote for ANYONE'S suffering, because all poor people are susceptible to suffering at the hands of the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
These dumb poor people don't comprehend the Paradox of Tolerance, and smart poor people are giving the dumb poor people their first lesson.
It's not pretty, but it's not surprising. In fact, it's entirely predictable.
And, the next step is, the wealthy-RWers convincing these dumb poor people that their suffering is being caused by other, smarter, innocent poor people, when, in reality, it is the wealthy-class who are the cause of the suffering.
This isn't a new plot-line. This act has been played out by the wealthy-class, repeatedly, for centuries-upon-millennia.

Dear Jordan, a lot of working-class people, here in the comments, don't seem to know the history of the Red Scare & McCarthyism. Countless progressives, leftists, socialists, communists and their families were kidnapped, deported, imprisoned, maimed, and/or murdered by right-wingers/regressives. That being said, I see that particular history is beginning to repeat itself(Trump has threatened it publicly). And, personally, I think the progressive legislators were privately warned/threatened by some right-wing/regressive legislators, because those progressive legislators all seemed to have capitulated/toned-down their rhetoric at around the same time period.
I could be wrong, but I'd be interested in what an economist/historian (like Richard Wolff or Steve Grumbine, or anyone with a sense of class-consciousness), has to say about my hypothesis, which is: progressive legislators have been warned/threatened/forced by regressive legislators to shut-up and fall-in-line out of fear for self-preservation and safety for their loved ones.
Anyway, thank you for your service, Jordan.
✌🤟✊🙏

@johnpglackin345 If Jesus showed up tomorrow, preaching his progressive message of anti-wealth, anti-violence, and anti-selfishness, you working-class dupes would help the conservative, wealthy-class authoritarians, with their corrupt RW-politics, to crucify Jesus all over again.
Jesus wouldn't join the conservative, wealthy-class Pharisees & Sadducees, nor would he join the conservative, wealthy-class Romans, nor did he support their corrupt, RW-politics.
And if Jesus was here today, and you tried to force him to join the conservative, RW-extremist, wealthy-class Repubs, or the conservative, moderate-RW, wealthy-class Dems, I bet Jesus would tell you to get that cross ready for Him, again.
You'll learn the hard way, in this life or the next. Just like the working-class dupes who (a)supported the conservative, wealthy-class authoritarians & their corrupt RW-politics, by (b)volunteering to be Confedrate & Nat-C soldiers.
Christ warned us about the conservative wealthy-class, & their corrupt RW-politics, in the Bible. And I'm doing His work by warning you, now.
You're on the wrong path.

RW-politics are anti-working-class politics.
RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class politics.
ALL of US-politics, and MOST of international politics, are RW-politics.
Racism, sexism, misogyny, ethnocentrism, and theocracy are ALL systems of RW-politics.
Monarchism, Feudalism, Capitalism, Republicanism, Corporatism, & Fascism are ALL systems of RW-politics.
ALL systems of RW-politics involve the wealthy-class enslaving the working-class.
ALL systems of RW-politics eventually regress into the worst aspects of slavery.
All of RW-politics, and ALL of the people who vote for RWers, are pro-slavery.
Vote for the RW-extremist Repubs, for the fast, open-road to the wealthy-class enslaving the working-class.
Vote for the moderate-RW Dems, for the slower, disguised-road to the wealthy-class enslaving the working-class.
Vote for the RW-extremist Lolbertarians and the moderate-RW Greens for more of the same.
Only two political parties have been in control for my entire life (and for the last 100 years for that matter), and NEITHER of those two parties have solved ANY of the major problems that are faced by working-class people. In fact, quite the opposite.
BOTH parties have ALLOWED & ENABLED the wealthy-class to CAUSE the problems for the working-class.
ALL of US-politics and ALL of its political-parties, are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the indecent, wealthy-class knaves and their corrupt RW-politics of enslavement.
Furthermore, ALL of the biggest problems in the world, and MOST of the smaller problems, are caused by [a]the indecent, wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics, and by [b]the indecent, working-class dupes, like you, who support the indecent, wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics.
You've been so busy conforming to the indoctrination of the RW-propaganda that has been produced by your wealthy-class masters, you wouldn't even know LW-politics if its policies freed you from your own enslavement
Now, that's the most education you've gotten in decades, and your wealthy-class masters don't want you to learn -- just like they didn't want their slaves to learn during the Confederacy -- because they knew/know that stupid people make better slaves.
And, alas, your wealthy-RW masters have lifestyle-addictions that need to be satiated, and you can't be contributing to their production if you're wasting your time writing nonsense -- besides, your wealthy-class masters write more effective propaganda than you, anyway -- so get back to work, you dupe.
And don't forget to cast a RW-vote for your own RW-enslavement this RW-election season!
Oh, btw, congratulations...🥳
...you're an indecent, working-class moron. 😒
Just like your indecent, wealthy-class masters designed you to be, with their corrupt RW-politics.🙄

@joshuaholmes7818 Part 1: Your claim that "Right vs. Left is so irrelevant..." is a prime example of American anti-intellectualism. There is, indeed, a difference between Right-wing and Left-wing politics. And RFKJr won't speak any truth about it.
1a.
Right-wing economic politics: Pro-wealthy-class minority-rule & Anti-working-class majority-rule.
Left-wing economic politics: Pro-working-class majority-rule & Anti-wealthy-class minority-rule.
1b.
Right-wing economic politics: A minority population of large-business owners rules the economy.
Left-wing economic politics: A majority population of small businesses rules the economy
1c.
Right-wing economic politics: Privatization of the economy, based on profits for the few people in the wealthy-class minority.
Left-wing economic politics: Nationalization of the economy, based on the needs of all people.
2a.
Right-wing social politics: Pro-hierarchy & Anti-equality
Left-wing social politics: Anti-hierarchy & Pro-equality.
2b.
Right-wing social politics: Autocracy.
Left-wing social politics: Democracy
3a.
Right-wing electoral politics: Pro-financial-corruption
Left-wing electoral politics: Anti-financial-corruption
3b.
America's right-wing electoral politics are evidenced by the pro-wealthy-class & anti-working-class leadership of BOTH the Republican AND Democratic Parties in America,
America's left-wing electoral politics are evidenced by... Well, there are no pro-working-class & anti-wealthy-class political parties in America.
And RFKJr won't explain that.
I could go on.
You said: "Most politicians on both sides accept millions in corporate money..."
Right. They do. Because most American politicians, on both sides, are wealthy-class right-wingers.
Both major American political parties, and most-to-all of the minor American political parties, are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class right-wingers.
MANY, and probably MOST, of the wealthy-class right-wing billionaires contribute to the campaigns of BOTH wealthy-right-wing millionaire Repubs and wealthy-right-wing millionaire Dems.
RFK won't expose that.
The Tea Party and Libertarian Party were started, and are funded, by wealthy-class right-wingers. Same for the "Freedom" Caucus[what a joke].
The Green Party was infiltrated by wealthy-class right-wingers [Jill Stein & company].
The DSA has also been infiltrated by wealthy-class right-wingers.
The Forward[regressive] Party is funded by and composed of wealthy-class right-wingers.
The Justice Democrats have been stifled by the wealthy-class right-wingers in the Dem party.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus is made up of MOSTLY wealthy-class right-wingers.
And RFKJr won't tell the truth about that.
But, still, here you are -- "LeFt vS. RiGhT iS sO iRrelEvAnT..." -- saying things that only a fool or a knave would say. And it's only less relevant to working-class Americans because there is no left-wing political power in America.
And the better, smarter working-class people of the world laugh at working-class Americans because working-class Americans are too stupid, and addicted, to comprehend it.
FFS...
The exploration of the American landscape was funded by wealthy-class, right-wing Europeans.
The theft of the American landscape from, and the genocide of, the Native rightful-owners was funded and perpetuated by wealthy-class, right-wing Europeans.
The writers of America's "founding" documents were wealthy-class, right-wing Europeans.
America IS NOW and has ALWAYS been an economically and socially right-wing country.
America IS NOT now and has NEVER been a Democracy. America has NEVER had a Universal-Suffrage. America is BARELY a Republic.
BOTH political parties have engaged in the negation of Democracy via voter suppression, gerrymandering, and campaign/electoral corruption.
BOTH political parties have been in a position to change those things, and BOTH parties NEVER have.
And RFKJr won't tell those truths.
Wealthy-class right-wing Repubs, Dems, & Kennedys have been in political power for many decades of my life, and NONE of them have eradicated poverty OR corruption. Because the only way the wealthy-class right-wing hierarchy continues is via corruption. And they depend on poverty to scare morons (like you, maybe?) from stepping out of line.
If you're really concerned with the financial corruption in American politics then these SCOTUS cases will help you:
1. Buckley [right-winger] v. Valeo (1976)
2. First National Bank of Boston [right-wingers] v. Belotti (1978)
3. McConnell [right-winger] v. FEC (2003)
4. Citizens United [right-wingers] v FEC (2010)
5. McCutcheon [right-winger] v. FEV (2013)
The decisions in those cases explain how the wealthy-class right-wingers legalized corruption in the U.S.
RFKJr won't say jack about those cases.
There is a seemingly working-class left-wing group of people -- Wolf-PAC -- who have been actively working in individual states for over a decade now, trying to provoke a Constitutional Amendment.
Wolf-PAC has received bipartisan support from BOTH right-wing political parties at the state-level, and they have made much progress over the past decade. But they receive NO support from the right-wing political parties at the national-level where corruption is most deeply rooted.
If you want to help, then Wolf-PAC is probably the best place to direct your efforts.
RFKJr won't share that.
To be continued...

@joshuaholmes7818 Part 2: I could go on. But I'll try to wrap it up here.
The sooner you learn that you're making the same mistake that millions of working-class fools have made before you, the sooner you can make a decision:
A. Stop aiding and abetting the wealthy-class, right-wing minority, with whom you have very little in common, in their conquest for world domination via minority-rule and right-wing politics.
OR
B. Continue aiding and abetting the wealthy-class, right-wing minority in their conquest for world domination via minority-rule and right-wing politics, to the detriment of the working-class people with whom you have the most in common.
Choice "B" requires you to continue on your current path; verbally and textually fellating wealthy-class right-wingers -- like RFK, who are never going to let working-class fools, like you, into "the club" of the wealthy-class -- during which time you'll remain oblivious, wondering why your station in life remains stagnant and the wealthy-class keep getting wealthier.
Choice "A" requires actual work.
To comprehend right-wing versus left-wing politics, you'll need to learn:
1. Economic politics versus Social politics.
2. Autocracy versus Democracy.
3. Minority-rule versus Majority-rule
4. Social-authoritarianism versus Social-freedom
5. Nepotism versus Meritocracy
6. Work versus Labor
7. Wants versus Necessities.
8. Hyperbole versus Nuance.
9. Propaganda versus Information
10. Opinions versus Facts
11. Class consciousness.
12. Power structures.
13. The context of international & historical politics.
RFK doesn't want people to know those things.
Those topics will be difficult to study in America, due to the infections of anti-intellectualism, anti-internationalism, and anti-history.
And it's obvious that you're a victim of the wealthy-class, right-wing propaganda of American-exceptionalism, so you're going to have a long road of learning ahead of you.
There are many more topics to study (learning is a lifelong process), but that list is a good start.
And that's ok. You're not alone. There are LITERALLY tens-of-millions of duped American fools, just like you. For example:
In the last American election for POTUS, 150+ million American fools voted for wealthy-class right-winger Trump and wealthy-class right-winger Biden. And a little more than half of those 150+ million fools (like you) thought they were voting for a left-wing candidate (Biden is a right-winger).
RFKJr certainly won't share that with his followers.
Politics, like most things, has been studied for centuries.
The politics & policies of tribes, communities, kingdoms, nations, and empires have been recorded, saved, stored, lost & found, transcribed & re-transcribed, compiled, studied, examined, sorted, and exposed by intelligent people for centuries.
From those centuries of political scholarship, a scale of politics has been solidified to help intelligent people discuss and comprehend politics in historical and international contexts.
And just because there are working-class Americans with child-brains stuck in adult-sized bodies, with six-month-old YouTube accounts, whose shallow-knowledge renders them incapable of comprehending the depths of which they are unaware, doesn't mean it isn't so.
You won't hear about any of that from RFKJr.
Because he doesn't want to end up like his father and uncle.
So, instead, he has capitulated to the wealthy-class right-wingers who "did in" his father and uncle.
He isn't "the only candidate" saying jack about anything -- he's a broken right-wing record on a wealthy-class record player.
And his attempts at preaching "populism" are as transparent as Trump's, and working-class American fools are falling for it, just like the working-class American fools who fell for Trump.
And, now, just like the rest of the wealthy-class right-wingers, RFKJr relies on your ignorance to maintain his position in the economic/social hierarchies.
He, and they, LOVE hearing working-class American fools say ignorant things, like: "LeFt vS. RiGhT iS sO iRrelEvAnT..."
He and the other wealthy-class right-wingers are mentally-ill addicts, addicted to greed and so much more.
They would sooner sabotage your working-class family, friends, neighbors, and community, or murder the lot of you than give up their addictions.
Better yet, they would rather convince working-class fools, like you, to do it to yourselves so they don't have to.
And, in fact, they HAVE already convinced working-class fools, like you, to do it to yourselves so they don't have to.
Wealthy-class right-wingers have been doing this all throughout history, and they will NEVER stop.
Just like all of the wealthy-class right-wingers throughout history, he, and they, will NEVER, EVER willingly give up their addictions. Just like the right-wing Nazis and right-wing Confederates wouldn't.
RFKJr won't tell the truth about anything I've written, because he benefits from working-class fools, like you, believing lies.
But you think it's irrelevant.
Good luck with that.

@joshuaholmes7818 It seems we agree on the state of American politics (the first five or six sentences of your response). I apologize for any incorrect correlation or accusation I levied against you. It seems I miscalculated your grasp on the situation.
Now -- in contrast to you being a "single issue voter" -- I'm a NON-VOTER.
Yes, you read that correctly: I do not vote. I'm probably done voting in this life.
My reasons are my own -- they're spiritually and morally rooted -- and most people don't agree with me. And that's ok.
Moving on; I agree with your sentiment on the merger of state and corporate power.
But I don't blame "the merger" in and of itself -- a merger isn't a tangible object, it is not a living thing, just like a corporation isn't a living thing.
I blame the corrupt people who are pushing the corrupt merger -- they are very tangible, and very much alive. And, as far as my brain can tell, this corrupt merger has been going on since the beginning of America.
Capitalism is a right-wing economic ideology. And America's founders, by my estimation, were Capitalists.
Corruption is baked into the Capitalist system. Wealthy right-wing Capitalists have indoctrinated most people with the idea that competition is virtuous. But there is no virtue in participating in a corrupted competition.
The wealthy-class has invaded every facet of life with competition. And competition, like Capitalism, necessitates winners and losers.
The founders were certainly some of the winners of their time. And they were only able to win so big because other people lost so much.
And, from what I know about history, there is no amount of voting that will undo the right-wing corruption of wealthy-class addicts and their armies of working-class addicts.
In fact, historically, there seems to be only one thing that has relieved right-wing addicts from their corruption and addictions.
But, alas, I am non-violent and anti-violence.
So I won't be putting on a Union or Allied uniform to participate in the modern-day advance against right-wing extremism.
My refusal to participate in violence is concurrent with my refusal to participate in voting.
I won't do it.
Not if it's legislated.
Not if I'm conscripted.
Not if I'm forced.
Not at all.
Wrapping up now.
You said: "I'll support a candidate who is talking about addressing financial corruption in any capacity..."
That seems principled. I would encourage you to stick with that.
You asked: "...because I don't see any other candidate saying anything like that. Are there any?"
.
Well, Williamson has talked about that. And so has Bernie Sanders and AOC. But so has Matt Gaetz and MTG. (So, you know, grain-of-salt, and whatnot.)
You said: "If so, point me in that direction..."
If I knew of a candidate who was actively speaking out against the merger of corporate-state corruption, AND if I knew that such a candidate was successfully persuading working-class people away from the right-wing political parties, I would point you in their direction. BUT...
I would also suggest that you stand at least 100-yards away from that candidate. For your own safety, if you catch my drift.
You asked: "Are there any presidential candidates that you support?"
Jokingly, I support the sweet release of my own end.
But, seriously? No. There are no candidates I support.
Bernie was the closest, but I didn't vote for him.
As far as I can tell, Bernie has capitulated to the right-wing. Bernie lived through the first "Red-Scare" and McCarthyism. I presume he's decided that he doesn't want himself or his family to be victims of the next one.
So, I am even less inclined to vote for him than I was in 2016/2020. And even then, I wasn't very inclined.
I guess I'm not much help. :)

That's called "accelerationism" -- voting for the fast-road to fascism by electing the right-wing Republic-party, instead of voting for the slow-road to fascism by electing the right-wing Democrat-party.
But, the more that power is centralized into the hands of the wealthy-class minority under fascism, the sooner the working-class majority will have their rights taken away.
And, the faster that power is centralized into the hands of the wealthy-class minority under fascism, the more difficult it will be for the working-class majority to reclaim their rights.
(See the wealthy-class NotZ-fascists and the subsequent war in which working-class people had to fight and die to reclaim their rights.)
Most people have fallen for the illusion that the "dems" need to "sort their sh!te out," when, in reality, the wealthy-class owners and leadership of the Democrat-party have their sh!te perfectly sorted. They are working cooperatively behind the scenes with the wealthy-class owners and leadership of the Republic-party.
(Look up the video on the "Ratchet Effect" by Second Thought for a more comprehensive explanation of how Dems and Repubs work together to keep the country moving in a right-wing direction.)
Both parties are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class right-wingers. You can be sure that right-wing Fascism is the goal of the wealthy-class, right-wing owners and leadership of both parties.
Understanding these things is like figuring out which character is the killer in a murder-mystery before finishing the book/movie: Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
I understand that accelerationism is a political-strategy. But to use your vote to enable the implementation of that strategy, in hopes of instigating change, is to ensure that already-suffering people will suffer more.
I could go on, but I've already wasted enough of your time. So, I'll end with this:
Vote (or don't vote) however you want. But you better believe that your vote is directly related to your culpability in the speed of expansion of human suffering.
If you choose to vote for Republicans, I hope that the impending expansion of suffering won't bring about new or greater suffering for you or the people you care about most.
Good day, and best of luck to you in the upcoming, seemingly-unavoidable, slide into full-blown, wealthy-class fascism.

These working-class dupes fell for the RW-propaganda of the wealthy-class that says, "sMaLL gOvErNmEnT gOOd!!!"🤪 These working-class dupes are now living the truthful-consequences of the faux-truth they voted for.
Also, I would bet that most anyone in NC, who is "living in a tent" related to the hurricane, is doing it (a)by choice, and/or (b)for clout, to (c)fuel the misplaced-outrage.
But even if these working-class dupes ARE living in tents against their will, it is important to remember, again, that they voted for their own suffering.
I've had to live in a tent against my will. BUT, I didn't vote for it.
My suffering, and the suffering of MILLIONS of people was caused by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the working-class dupes who voted for the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
I have sympathy & empathy for the working-class dupes who are suffering, but most of them voted for their own suffering, and they voted for the suffering of countless other innocent working-class people.
But, just because I have sympathy & empathy for the ignorant, working-class dupes who voted for their own suffering, that doesn't mean I'm going to coddle their ignorance.
Perhaps these working-class dupes, who voted for the "tough love" espoused by RW-politics, need to experience the "tough love" which they have repeatedly voted for.

@7heHorror Bob is only mirroring what right-wing, authoritarian countries use their militaries to do -- particularly the American and Israeli militaries.
They murder innocent children so those children don't grow up to be vengeance-seekers.
Of course, that's really f*kcing dumb, but, on the international stage, Americans have never been accused of being the brightest. Just the most self-centered, ignorant, fearful, angry, hateful, violent, murderous, and genocidal.
It's not surprising that otherwise good working-class people -- which perhaps Bob is one of -- are now considering the use of the same tactics utilized by the wealthy-class right-wingers.
Disclaimer: I'm a lonely, decrepit, and non-violent member of the working-class.
I'm ready to die at the hands of the wealthy-class right-wing mob without resisting. But many of my working-class mates are not.
And the wealthy-class right-wing mob will never willingly give up their addictions and power.
It seems that -- if history is any indicator of the future, which it is -- violence is inevitable.
I won't participate in it, but I'm not the slightest bit surprised by those who would.

@StatusCoup It's sad (and planned) how stupid most working-class people are. The wealthy-class owners planned it that way.
But YOU, Jordan, are not to blame for the corruption of a country that was started by, of, and for the corruption of the wealthy-class. To underhandedly blame you is absurd.
You post a video showing the contradictions, inconsistencies, hypocrisy, and weakness of the corrupt politicians in BOTH right-wing parties, and then the Rusko's of the world blame YOU for the etiquette of corrupt politicians.
The Rusko's can't even walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone think with logic and reason. But they sure can scratch their butt-cracks and sniff their own fingers, and then they blame YOU for the smell at the same time.
You're doing great Jordan. And if you're ever not doing great, I'd tell you that too.
But to blame you for the corruption of others would be absurdly-Rusko.

They voted for it. These working-class dupes fell for the RW-propaganda of the wealthy-class that says, "sMaLL gOvErNmEnT gOOd!!!"🤪 These working-class dupes are now living the truthful-consequences of the faux-truth they voted for.
The intolerant, working-class dupes in the US have continuously voted for the inherent intolerance of RW-politics. They need to learn the Paradox of Tolerance & how their intolerant political-ideology, which primarily harms the most vulnerable people, can come back to harm themselves when they are most vulnerable, too.
Also, I would bet that most anyone in NC, who is "living in a tent" related to the hurricane, is doing it (a)by choice, and/or (b)for clout, to (c)fuel the misplaced-outrage.

@davidj669 Nope. WE could help all humans in need if YOU right-wingers, who are too ignorant, selfish, and/or socio/psychopathic to think otherwise, would stay out of the way, keep quiet, and do your jobs. Then, those of us smart people who aren't too ignorant, selfish, and/or socio/psychopathic, who can walk and chew gum at the same time, who prioritize human-lives in need over imaginary-lines on a map, who know that running a government&world aren't remotely similar to running a household or a business, could get things done. Smart people know that people like you are the weakest-links among the lowest-common-denominator of humans. 🙄

@Krill_all_health_insuranceCEOs I just looked it up too -- "garnishing social security for student loans".
I stopped reading after I found 20 articles from 20 different sources -- including law firms, the AARP, and government websites. The articles I read said Social Security payments can be garnished for unpaid student loans, especially Federal Loans. And the Parent PLUS Loan Program was a Federal Program.
I would post the links for you, but YouTube deletes my comment when I try to post the links.
As for asking my mom anything -- HA! -- she's a doctor-enabled opioid addict of over 40 years. She's an emotionless liar, thief, cheater, and manipulator.
As for asking my dad anything -- HA! -- he blames me for not paying the loan, which I never knew existed until after I was out of college. Unfortunately, he's not very smart, and he thinks his financial decision and mistake are my fault.
As for getting a lawyer -- HA! -- those are for people who can afford to pay their student loans. My dad, for about 40 years now, has actually been the caretaker for the second-home of a lawyer-couple, but they're right-wingers. They don't help people who are in need. They put people who are in need into cages.
Anyway, in my search, I also came across an article from 2018 which said the following:
"Senators Ron Wyden (D-Or.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) introduced the Protection of Social Security Benefits Restoration Act which would prohibit the federal government from garnishing Social Security retirement and disability benefits to cover a beneficiary's defaulted student loans, according to the article."
But, of course, that legislation didn't pass. And introducing pro-working-class legislation is merely theatrics in a government where both right-wing political parties are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class right-wingers.
On a whole new note -- story time -- I actually did stop paying my student loans a loooong time ago.
After college, I could never get a job where I made enough money to make the minimum monthly payments. I was juggling which bills to pay and which ones not to pay every month.
I was trying not to become homeless or lose the first car I purchased. So, under the free-advice of a good Samaritan attorney, I stopped paying the student loans.
The good Samaritan attorney told me to make sure I had my necessities taken care of -- food, clothes, shelter, car to get to work -- and he told me to keep good records of my finances for when I would inevitably be taken to court. So I did keep good records.
But, I haven't been taken to court (yet), and I haven't made a student loan payment in about 15 years. Of course, I'm not glorifying my position -- I'm in a world of sh!te -- and I wouldn't recommend anyone go about things the way I have.
Obviously, my credit is absolute garbage. I'll never be able to get a mortgage to own a house or property. I'll never even be able to get an apartment that requires a credit-check. I have been homeless before, but I'll probably be house-less for the rest of my life.
I'll never be able to get a loan for a car, so I'll only be able to own cheap used cars.
I'll never be able to get certain jobs, or even a "good" job (whatever that is), especially a job that requires a credit-check. Some jobs won't hire/will fire you if/when they find out they have to deal with the gov't to facilitate wage garnishments.
At this point, I've been unemployed for seven years, stuck in rural America, and living at the whims of family members who basically use me as an indentured servant. I don't have a car, so even if I could get a job, I wouldn't be able to make it to the job.
The nearest town is 15-minutes by car and hours on foot. There are no taxis or public transportation. And, where I live, we can't get high-speed internet that is fast enough for any work-from-home jobs.
I could go on.
But, despite all that, I am thankful, and I am blessed. I've got enough clothes to last the rest of my life (I think), and, as long as I don't get kicked out, I've got a roof over my head and leftovers to eat.
Anyway, uh... Thanks? I guess, for your advice. And, sorry? I suppose, for over-sharing,
In The Spirit of love and solidarity, may peace be upon you and yours.

@ @SunFlower-1221 It's Tytler -- not Tyler -- and he was a "Lord" (anti-Christ), and a member of the populace-minority known as the wealthy-class (anti-Christs). His views were as autocratic & authoritarian then as they are now.
His rhetoric was projection in practice. He tried to trick working-class people into believing that, if working-class people had a choice/vote, they would "ruin" society.
But, in reality, it was, and still is, the wealthy-class knaves, like Tytler, who ruin society for the working-class people.
The absence of majority-rule(democracy) is called minority-rule(autocracy and/or authoritarianism), in which the lazy ,wealthy-class minority uses their wealth to rule & reign over the laboring, working-class majority, just like slavery.
If the working-class laborers are unable to vote-down the addictions, greed & selfishness of the mentally-ill, narcissistic, sociopathic & psychopathic authoritarians of the lazy wealthy-class, then the only other option is violence.
Now, I am non-violent & anti-violence, because I'm a Jesus-Christian (not a Capitalist-Christian or Fascist-Christian, not a Judaeo-Christian, Catholic-Christian, or Protestant-Christian, not a Repubocrat-Christian or a Demlican-Christian). So I'm not going to participate in the violence. But I bet you will, when your wealthy-class masters tell you to.
Based on your post, you appear to be another working-class dupe who has fallen for the rhetoric, projection, and trickery of the lazy, wealthy-class knaves.
God gave us all free-will -- voting & democracy correspond directly with the expression of that free-will.
To use your free-will to take away the free-will of others -- either by disparaging voting, disenfranchising others, and/or destroying democracy -- is as anti-Christ as it gets. Tytler was an anti-Christ.
Based on your post, you appear to be an anti-Christ, too.

He's a walking contradiction.
Some of his contradictory statements are listed below.
--------------------
First, he says: 'I want to beat up some fucking commies.'
Then he says: 'We do kind of look aggressive... We're ready to get whomped on...'
Then he says: 'We're not aggressive.'
--------------------
First, he says: 'I wasn't political at all.'
Then he says: 'I was listening to (right-wing extremist) Alex Jones.'
--------------------
First, he says: 'I wasn't political at all.'
Someone asks him: 'You Mexican boys conservatives?'
He replies: 'Yeah!'
--------------------
She asks him: 'What do you say to people who say; "Proud boys are just violent. They just want to murder Antifa."'?
He answers: 'Poor media.'
But previously he said: 'Antifa made me want to join... I just want to beat up some fucking commies.'
--------------------
First says: 'I didn't care about left or right.'
Then says: 'So I joined the (right-wing extremists) Proud-Boys.'
--------------------
He says: 'So there's a group of men...'
But they call themselves boys and have the mindset of children
--------------------
First, he says: 'Fighting Antifa is 10 percent of what the Proud-Boys is about.
Then he says: 'There's 98% of what the media doesn't see about us.'
Sooo, if there's 98% that we don't see, but there is 10% which we do see, doesn't that make 108%?
I know, I'm nitpicking semantics. But who's really the idiot here?
--------------------
First, he says: 'I want to beat up some fucking commies.'
Then he says: 'We're God-fearing men'
But the Bible is anti-violence.
The Bible says: (Psalms 55:11) "The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul (God's soul) hates the lover of violence."
The Bible also says: (Proverbs 3:31) "Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways."
Jesus said: (Matthew 5:38-39) "You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Jesus also said: (Matthew 26:52) "Put your sword back in its place. For all who live by the sword will die by the sword."
--------------------
He says: 'Buy me a beer. You're going to be my friend for the next 30 minutes.'
Then he says: 'We are drinkers. We are brawlers.'
But the Bible is anti-alcohol.
The Bible says: (Proverbs 20:1) 'Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by them is not wise.'
It also says: (Proverbs 23:31-35) 'Do not gaze at wine while it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things and your mind will utter perversities. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas or lying on the top of a mast: “They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I did not know it! When can I wake up to search for another drink?”
It also says: (Ephesians 5:18) 'Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.'
--------------------
This kid reminds me of the main characters in the film 'American History X' (played by Edward Norton and Edward Furlong).
I call him a kid because of his child-like demeanor and undeveloped thought process.
He also reminds me of Frank Meeink (https://www.thedailybeast.com/he-was-the-neo-nazi-who-inspired-american-history-x-his-nazi-pals-are-now-cops).
He reminds me of the non-practicing extremists who distort and contort Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, which gives a bad name to decent practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
In the linear progression of ignorance > fear > anger > hate > violence > murder > genocide, as long as a person is one of those things, then the wealthy-class can exploit it to persuade a person to move along to the next level.
This kid is exactly the kind of rube that the wealthy-class loves to mark.

Don't pray for me either. Jesus wasn't a right-winger(RW). He wouldn't have been a RW-Republican nor a RW-Democrat, and He won't recognize anyone who is.
Instead, pray and ask God to send His Spirit to make you wiser, and to move you to action. Because faith without works is dead.
Instead, pray and ask God to allow you to experience true suffering, so that suffering can change your heart and mind. Because the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure while the heart of the wise is in the house or mourning.
As well-fed, well-clothed, and well-housed RW, you are contributing to the suffering of other humans, through your ignorance, your actions, and your votes.
But DO NOT for a second waste your RW prayers on me -- on my God, my Christ, or my Holy Spirit.
THEY are the ONES who created the short-term weather and the changes in the long-term climate, and THEY are the ONES who have allowed the activities of ignorant RW humans to change it.
May you be forgiven, for knowing not what you've done.

The NC voters are getting the suffering that most of them voted for. They just thought they were voting for other people to suffer, not themselves. They don't need government help -- they can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, just like they want the "others" to do.
And, besides that, these are the same people who have voted, for decades, to shrink the government to a size that could be drowned in a bathtub. They don't want government help -- they voted against having a government. I sure hope they figure out how to manufacture towels to go along with their bootstraps.
Morons, like you, with moronic ideas, like yours, are exactly why these morons are in this situation.

America is such a shite-hole. Of course, you have two political-parties that are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class greed-addicts, and both of those corporate wealthy-class parties are FULL of conspirators, aiders, and abettors of organized crime.
But you also have a majority of the working-class population who are indoctrinated by the propaganda of the wealthy-class addicts; you have an entrenched majority of the working-class who are striving after the very same lifestyles which direct the actions of wealthy-class addicts.
The lack of class-consciousness ingrained into the American working-class by the wealthy-class's individualism-propaganda is (one of the many, many reasons) why the rest of the class-conscious world laughs in amusement and trembles in terror at America.
I won't prejudge Brana and family, but it sounds like the same Modus-Operandi of corruption and addiction that drives the actions of the wealthy-class political parties is the same corruption and addiction that is ruining this working-class political party.
Sadly, this is not at all surprising.

If you're more concerned with feeding the addictions to aesthetics, vanity, and consumerism than you are concerned with substance, I'm pretty sure you'll find what you're looking for over on right-wing MSNBC and right-wing Fox News.
"...get Jordan a suit." Really? Ffs, with takes like this, not to mention all of the other sh!te-lib right-wing takes on this video, it's no wonder America is a steaming sh!tehole.
That suggestion is as useless and distracting as any of the other bullsh!te suggestions for incremental change to deal with existential problems.
It's like hearing, "THE SHIP IS GOING DOWN," and responding with, "Oh, goodness me, I need to grab my slicker."
It's like responding to the gun-violence epidemic with, "we need more guns!"
How f*kc!ng ignorant.
You working-class dupes have fallen for the aesthetic-addictions offered to you by the wealthy-class addicts. You can't focus on substance because you're so addicted to aesthetics. You are working-class addicts who are helping the wealthy-class addicts maintain their control.
And if you're going to respond with, "iT wAs JuSt aN oBsErVaTiOn! i'M eNtItLeD tO mY oPiNiOn!" Well, sure you are. But it's not helpful, nor useful, nor worthwhile. It's a distraction.
Jordan needs a suit like the wealthy-class needs more tax cuts for their textile conglomerates.
Repel your addictions to licking the boots and sniffing the cracks of the wealthy-class.

@planetarean The ignorance of your statement is why the US is such a sh!tehole. You working-class dupes either can't, don't, or won't even try, to comprehend class-politics.
It is ABSOLUTELY Left vs. Right, and just because you're too dumb to comprehend it, that doesn't mean it isn't.
RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class (or "Up", as you so childishly put it) and anti-working-class (or "Down", as you so childishly put it).
LW-politics are pro-working-class (or "Down", as you so childishly put it) and anti-wealthy-class (or "Up", as you so childishly put it).
All the major problems in the world, and most of the smaller problems, are caused by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the ignorant, working-class dupes who, intentionally or unintentionally, support the corrupt, wealthy-class knaves & their corrupt RW-politics.
The ignorance of working-class dupes, like you, is how & why the wealthy-class continues to rule the working-class. Your ignorance helps the wealthy-class to maintain their power over the working-class.
The concepts of Class-politics are THOUSANDS of years old.
Maybe less time with the entertainment and more time with the education, for you.

Absolutely.
I'm no clinician, but...
I believe greed is the very same thing as an addiction -- money is literally a security blanket for these people, and they cling to it like an addiction.
The greedy, wealthy people hoard money and resources similar to the way poor people hoard newspapers, empty coffee cans, plastic shopping bags, and other useless gadgets and trinkets -- hoarding itself is a form of mental illness.
The wealthy-class has an addiction to money and resources, as well as an addiction to social status and easy living -- and these addictions have rendered them mentally ill.
The mental illnesses associated with addictions and hoarding causes the wealthy to justify abuses of all kinds, as well as obfuscation, lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, and genocide.
This has been the relationship between the rich and the poor for as long as history has been recorded.
Kings versus subjects, lords versus serfs, and masters versus slaves -- White people versus native-Americans, white people versus native Central and South Americans, white people versus Africans, Nazis versus Jews, Nazis versus minorities, government-supported Buddhists versus Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh -- these dynamics are all relatively similar. Some people would rather work to oppress other people rather than work with other people so that no one is oppressed.
Some people are so mentally ill, they get off on the suffering of others. Supremacy is the addiction associated with hoarding power. An addiction to hoarding money allows the wealthy to purchase more power. Power buys further supremacy.
...I could go on, but only as far as unprofessional opinions and observations would allow.

The Democrat party's owners don't care what you do. They own the Republican party, too. And if you start a third party, they'll buy that party out from under you, too. You're too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics.
Ever since the SCOTUS ruled to legalize bribery & corruption with their decisions in the cases of Buckley v. Valeo[1976] and First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti[1978], BOTH major political-parties in the US (and most of the smaller parties) have been bought, owned, and controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. And they've been solidifying their power, with the help of both major parties, ever since.
Working-class dupes in the US are too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics.

@eemoogee160 Don't want to be a working-class murderer who commits genocide? Don't volunteer to be a working-class cop/soldier/guard who commits genocide. Don't want to be complicit in murder & genocide? Don't vote for the lesser of two right-wing evils from the wealthy-class who promote murder/genocide.
Spoiler: Every candidate you mentioned is a right-winger from the wealthy-class. Every candidate whom working-class Americans have the option to vote for is right-winger from the wealthy-class -- MAYBE with the exception of Cornel West (he may be slightly 'wealthy' in comparison to most working-class people, but he's not a right-winger).
The wealthy-class/right-wingers will NEVER willingly give up their lifestyle-addictions -- in fact, they'll incite violence, and provoke murder and genocide to maintain their lifestyle-addictions.
These things are difficult for working-class dupes to comprehend and accept. And it's particularly harder for the working-class dupes who have their own lifestyle-addictions.
And, just like the knavish wealthy-class/right-wing addicts, the working-class addicts will NEVER willingly give up their lifestyle-addictions either.
In fact, the duped working-class addicts will volunteer to be the cops/soldiers/guards commit the murder & genocide against other working-class humans, all for the minimal-benefit of themselves, and at the behest and maximal-benefit of their wealthy-class/right-wing masters who incite and provoke said murder and genocide.
Don't want to be complicit in the inherent sociopathic/psychopathic corruption of right-wing politics? Then stop voting for sociopathic/psychopathic, corrupt wealthy-class/right-wingers.
I don't want to be complicit in the inherent sociopathic/psychopathic corruption of right-wing politics. But the only candidates to vote for are sociopathic/psychopathic, corrupt wealthy-class/right-wingers.
So I don't vote.
I work within my own community to help the least-fortunate and educate them about class-consciousness and right-wing versus left-wing economic & social politics.
But you go ahead and keep voting for moderate-right-wing Dem candidates from the wealthy-class, who are bought, owned bribed, and controlled by the same wealthy-class/right-wingers as the right-wing-extremist Repub candidates from the wealthy-class.
Or, keep voting for third-party candidates who have a near-zero-percent chance of winning, and every chance of being corrupted by the wealthy-class/right-wingers even if they do win. (The Green Party is corrupted by wealthy-class/right-wingers -- sorry, not sorry, to be the one to inform you.
I'm not voting for ANY of the right-wing evils, let alone the lesser right-wing evil. 🙄

These working-class dupes fell for the RW-propaganda of the wealthy-class that says, "sMaLL gOvErNmEnT gOOd!!!"🤪 These working-class dupes are now living the truthful-consequences of the faux-truth they voted for.
Also, I would bet that most anyone in NC, who is "living in a tent" related to the hurricane, is doing it (a)by choice, and/or (b)for clout, to (c)fuel the misplaced-outrage.
But even if these working-class dupes ARE living in tents against their will, it is important to remember, again, that they voted for their own suffering.
I've had to live in a tent against my will. BUT, I didn't vote for it.
My suffering, and the suffering of MILLIONS of people was caused by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the working-class dupes who voted for the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
I have sympathy & empathy for the working-class dupes who are suffering, but most of them voted for their own suffering, and they voted for the suffering of countless other innocent working-class people.
But, just because I have sympathy & empathy for the ignorant, working-class dupes who voted for their own suffering, that doesn't mean I'm going to coddle their ignorance.
Perhaps these working-class dupes, who voted for the "tough love" espoused by RW-politics, need to experience the "tough love" which they have repeatedly voted for.

@kenuffff Nonsense.
My underfunded rural public high school had economics classes.
Twenty years ago.
Then, in college, I did take several economics classes.
Neither public high school nor private college taught the differences between the right-wing extremist economics (which is NOT conservative in any sense of the word as a non-proper noun) as practiced at the behest of the wealthy-class minority throughout most of the world, and the moderately neoliberal economics that is partially practiced in some parts of the developed and undeveloped world.
Sure, you could make arguments about varying degrees. But, as a far-leftist, I find that there are no countries where progressive economics is practiced at the behest of the working-class majority.
The world lives under the mob-rule of the wealthy-class, who make up a minority of the population, who are addicted to wealth and all of the practices necessary to maintain that wealth.
What's worse is, the wealthy-class has also allowed the working class to obtain some of the addictions that are available to the wealthy-class.
By allowing the working-class to sporadically taste some of the addictions that the wealthy-class indulge in all the time, the wealthy-class has basically tricked some working-class people into believing that they can become part of the wealthy-class someday.
These little tastes of addiction provided by the wealthy-class have compelled the worst people within the working-class to turn against the better people in the working-class.
The wealthy-class has manufactured a desperation that is imposed on certain working-class people, causing those desperate working-class people to do things they wouldn't normally do.
From there, those desperate, working-class humans are thrown into cages where they are exploited and forced into labor, thus turning them into slaves as allowed by the 13th Amendment to The Constitution (which was formulated by the wealthy-class and passed by corrupt politicians).
The American wealthy-class not only controls the economy with their wealth, but also the campaign and electoral processes, and the politicians whom they successfully corrupt and elect. Then the politicians pass laws in favor of the wealthy-class, especially pertaining to education.
Which is why they don't teach THAT in high school OR college.

That is an ignorant comment.
Lowes & Home Depot are BOTH corporations owned by wealthy right-wingers.
RIght-wing politics are pro-corporate/anti-small-business politics.
Right-wing politics are pro-wealthy-class/anti-working-class politics.
The police patrollers are the modern-day version of slave patrollers from the past.
The police patrollers and slave patrollers are/were the working-class thugs who are/were hired to oppress other working-class people.
The slave patrollers of the past were funded by wealthy people to protect the "property" of the wealthy, and to bring back chattel-slaves when the chattel-slaves ran away.
The police patrollers of the present are funded by the wage-slaves and debt-slaves who pay the most taxes -- working-class people literally pay to be oppressed by the dumbest working-class people who have been given a few extra crumbs and shiny badges.
The police patrollers job is to agitate and arrest debt-slaves and wage-slaves from the working-class.
Then, after they are arrested, those debt & wage slaves can be turned into chattel-slaves to be thrown into modern-day plantations known as for-profit "prisons."
The for-profit prisons are corporations.
And the prison-corporations are owned by wealthy right-wingers.
Just like plantation-corporations were owned by wealthy right-wingers.
Just like Lowes & Home Depot are corporations owned by wealthy right-wingers.
The wealthy right-wingers own Lowes, Home Depot, and prisons. They don't give a flying f*kc if people working-class wage & debt slaves are arrested, because, then they can be turned into chattel-slaves for free labor.
The wealthy right-wingers who own Lowes & Home Depot benefit from this oppression -- they are modern-day slave-drivers, slave-owners, land-property owners, and prison-plantation owners.
Now you've been educated -- it's up to you to stop saying ignorant things.

@StatusCoup Jordan, this guest is a joke.😒 "JuSt PaY yOuR dOcToR cA$h," he says!🤪
Really, that's his advice? And you, Jordan, are giving him airtime on the channel that WE pay you for?? People are literally suffering & dying out here, Jordan, and this is the best guest you could find to bring on your show??? Do better than bringing on new charlatans, they're the same as the old charlatans. So disappointing, but not surprising.🙄
I hope you at least got paid by the guy paid your for giving him the advertisement-time -- although, that would make you as corrupt as the mainstream-media you constantly rail against.

Somehow, you're going to have to convince the most ignorant & vile working-class dupes that (a)their economic-struggles as working-class people ARE NOT caused by other working-class people who are racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual minorities, and that (b)their economic-struggles as working-class people ARE caused by the intelligent & vile wealthy-class knaves with their corrupt RW-politics.
And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but neither (a) nor (b) are ever going to happen. The most ignorant & vile working-class dupes will sooner volunteer for the military, to bring misery to other working-class strangers, than they will educate themselves to a level that would be necessary to change their hearts & minds.
If you want to know what happens to the US from here, you can study US history from 1860-65, and German history from 1939-1945. Spoiler Alert: the wealthy-class-RWers win & the working-class loses.

@jessicabosco3009 You mean capital-L "Libertarian." NOT small-l "libertarian." It's best to not even use the word, when PLENTY of other words are better.
NONE of America's major political parties are "libertarian" in concept -- they are autocratic in concept.
The capital-L "Libertarian Party" IS NOT the same as the small-l "libertarian" concept.
In America, the word "libertarian" is nearly useless. Just like the word, "literally."
The wealthy right-wingers who created the "Libertarian" party co-opted the word "libertarian" to trick working-class fools into joining the party. Even though the party name runs counter to the concept of the word, there are plenty of Americans are too dumb to comprehend the contradiction between the corruption of The Libertarian-Party and the anti-corruption of the libertarian-concept.
Just like the word "literally" has been co-opted to now encompass the definition of the word "figuratively" which runs counter to the concept of "literally." Americans are so dumb, they allowed and helped in the reduction of the concept of the word "literally."
So, when people say "libertarian" in America, they usually have no clue what they are talking about, or they're talking about the political party which has no basis in the definition and concept of the word "libertarian."
The word "libertarian" has been twisted by wealthy, right-wing propagandists. We don't need working-class fools helping the wealthy-class by spreading that propaganda and diluting the meaning of words (as your comment does).
At this point, it's best for working-class Americans to cease using the word "libertarian," until the word can be reclaimed to its literal meaning, or until working-class Americans can stop using it so figuratively (as you did in your comment).
Otherwise, America will continue sinking into the anti-intellectual sh!thole of right-wing history. Just like the right-wing Confederacy, and right-wing Nazis.
You might think I'm nit-picking, and that's exactly what the wealthy-right-wingers want you to think. But I just want a better world, and that can't happen if the working-class majority doesn't do better.
Maybe working-class Americans should try reading more, instead of wasting time with ill-placed comments, with ill-placed words, and ill-placed commas.

@ That... Brenda... Your reply is SO many things, but it is NOT an explanation to my inquiry. At best, it's ignorant, and, at worst, it's knavish.
NPOs (Non-Profit Organizations) are operated by decent working-class people, AND by indecent wealthy-class people (i.e. the Trump's operated an NPO through which they scammed thousands of working-class students, and the NPO was shutdown after the working-class students sued them.)
FPCs (For-Profit Corporations) are MOSTLY owned by the wealthy-class, because working-class people can't afford to own Corporations.
NPOs are one of the few ways that decent working-class people can provide charity, to the least fortunate in society, without having to rely on support from indecent wealthy-class knaves.
I've worked in&around both NPOs & FPCs, and NPOs are much, MUCH more likely to be doing good-works in the communities of working-class people, because, oftentimes, the people who work AT the NPOs are members of the communities that they serve.
I will NEVER willingly work at a FPC ever again. I'm not interested in contributing to the wealth and addictions of the wealthy-RWers, like the billionaires in Trump's cabinet.
And I'll NEVER work for an scam-NPO that is operated by wealth-addicted billionaire scammer, like the scam-NPO that Trump the scammer operated. Nor would I work for the scam-NPOs that the Clinton's operate.
In regards to your initial comment and your reply to my inquiry, you seem to be spewing some sort of "conspiracy theory" but you are unable to articulate it. So, as your fellow working-class mate, I'll leave you with this final summation:
1.
Some NPOs are good.
Some NPOs are bad.
NO NPO is perfect.
2.
Some FPCs are good.
Most FPCs are bad.
No FPC is perfect.
3.
NPOs give working-class people MORE control, not less control.
FPCs give working-class people LESS control, not more control.
4.
ALL of the FPCs are controlled by wealthy people in positions of power
NONE of the FPCs are controlled by working-class people.
5.
MOST of the wealthy-class FPC owners don't usually live in the communities where their their working-class employees live.
MANY of the working-class NPO owners usually live in the communities where their working-class mates live.
6.
NPOs can be the pillar of a community without bringing the entire community down.
FPCs can be the end of entire communities when the wealthy-class owners outsource the jobs or simply close the business.
That's enough for now.
Good day, Brenda.

Biden is a right-wing Dem. He's setting up the right-wing Repubs for a win. Biden is controlled by wealthy right-wingers, just like Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, (injustice)Clarence (uncle)Thomas, & most of the rest of Congress & SCOTUS. Wealthy right-wingers are winners whether a right-wing Repub or right-wing Dem is in office. So Biden the right-winger is doing what he's told to do by the wealthy right-wingers -- He is/They are setting up the win for right-wing Repubs.
Edit: This wealthy-right-wing authoritarian bullsh!t has been dominant throughout history. It's not rocket science.
If the wealthy-right-wingers fail at getting a right-wing Repub elected, they don't care. Because they'll have a right-wing Dem in office.
And, if a right-wing (anti)Libertarian gets elected, they still won't care, because the (anti)Libertarian party is bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by the same wealthy right-wingers as the Dem&Repub party. Same goes for that "No Labels" bullsh!t.
And if a left-wing, third-party candidate is elected, the right-wingers still won't care, because they'll still have a Congress full of bought, owned, bribed and controlled right-wing Dems&Repubs in office to stifle any third-party candidate who gets elected.
Or, the wealthy-right-wingers will use their media companies to instigate the most ignorant, most violent and vile working-class fools to maim and/or murder any left-wing, third-party candidate who gets elected.
This wealthy-right-wing authoritarian bullsh!t has been dominant throughout history. It's not rocket science.

@buddygrimfield7954 Yup, and they both have more in common with the wealthy-class than they do with the working-class. They are all corrupt-RWers, and that includes Trump, Biden, Obama, the Clinton's, the Bush's, Pelosi, McCarthy, Johnson, Schumer, and McConnell. BOTH parties in the US are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.

@ANewPlace That's okay. I probably wouldn't have believed your "citations", anyway. I can't find any literature, or any person, making the claim you made. Besides that, I know people who've gotten help from the Fed&State Gov't without incident. On top of that, you admitted that "they" offered help, but you refused it. That wasn't an intelligent decision if you were actually in need. My only further queries, should you choose to engage, would be:
[1]Do you vote?
[2]How long have you been voting?
[3]What political-party do you subscribe to? ("Independent" is not an answer -- there are NO "Independent" parties in the US, just like there aren't any "Socialist" or "Communist" parties in the US, either.)
[4]Which politicians -- POTUS, VPOTUS, Representatives, & Senators -- have you voted for in the past?
[5]Which politicians -- POTUS, VPOTUS, Representatives, & Senators -- did you vote for in the most recent elections?
I look forward to your replies, but, really, if you're in such desperation, you don't have to bother appeasing my curiosity.

The wealthy-class masters have co-opted enough working-class laborers to set up all of the private flying infrastructure they need. The rest of the working-class doesn't need to be flying anywhere, there's work to be done. We don't need more stinkin' pilots.
1st sentence: Not sarcastic.
2nd sentence: Not sarcastic.
3rd sentence: Not sarcastic.
All 3 sentences: Slightly sarcastic.-- not so much the first sentence.
In all seriousness; my following opinions aren't popular with the wealthy-class addicts who benefit from flying, nor with working-class people who are striving to achieve the same addictions as the wealthy-class.
Humans are supposed to stay on the ground.
The primary benefits of flying are economic, and those benefits go to the wealthy-class. Working-class people think they benefit from flying, but the costs outweigh the benefits.
The negative results of flying are burdens on communities, society at large, and the environment.
I disagree with Jordan. People don't need to fly. People don't need to get places.
People need to create palatable personal spaces, functional familial/friend group homes, and collective communities.
Garbage-people need to stop pushing vulnerable-people out of their homes and communities, and garbage-people need to stop being allowed to bring their garbage-selves into other communities.
Dunbar's Number: Learn it. Live it.
Antinatalism, too.

@robertcoplin2731 You asked, "How would you get..."
Answer: Well, Ralph Nader has said repeatedly, for decades, that it only takes about 3% of the population to propel meaningful change. But of course, Ralph was defamed and slandered into oblivion by the propaganda that was produced by the wealthy-class who own all of the "news" outlets.
Anyway, to answer your question more directly: General Strike.
For a period of time -- not just one day, but as long as it takes until those wealthy-class C |_} |\| TS and the politicians they've co-opted actually give in -- we would need collective and direct action.
And not just thousands of people taking part in these petty one-day marches. That's not going to cut it, as we have already seen.
It would take hundreds of thousands to millions of working-class people to participate. Enough people so that Property&Profit Protectors, known as the police, wouldn't be able to arrest and cage everyone.
But it would take working-class solidarity, which requires class-consciousness, which does not exist at the necessary levels to bring about change in America.
It would take many millions of people to commit to the following:
1. Calling in sick to work, repeatedly, even if it costs them their job in the long run.
2. Not spending ANY money, even if it means going without food, shelter, entertainment, drugs, alcohol, etc.
3. Peacefully occupying the private properties, offices, and businesses owned by the wealthy-class parasites, along with the public buildings and offices of the corrupt government-officials who are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by the wealthy-class parasites.
Notice that I said PEACEFULLY. None of that January 6 right-wing-nut-job militia-incel nonsense. We want change. We don't want a massacre. And doing the January 6 thing is how you end up with a massacre. So it has to be more peaceful than that.
The key is to make the wealthy-class uncomfortable. They have to eat too, and they have numerous addictions which are serviced by the working-class. No one will be eating or snorting anything if the working-class isn't working.
There are likely other collective and direct actions that could be effective. But this will likely never happen anyway. There are too many comfortable, white moderates, as MLK said.
Those comfortable, white, working-class moderates have been indoctrinated by wealthy-class propaganda. And that propaganda has produced the false hope that one day the comfortable, white moderates will break out of the working-class and into the wealthy-class as long as they keep following the propaganda.
Just as the wealthy-class will never willingly give up their numerous addictions, there are too many comfortable, white, working-class moderates who are perfectly happy with their few addictions, and they won't give theirs up either. I call those comfortable, white, working-class moderates "class-traitors."
There are too many class-traitors who are happy to elbow side-to-side at the other working-class people who are most like them, while kicking-down at the least-fortunate, just to get a few extra crumbs from the wealthy-class master's table.
The comfortable, white moderate class-traitors from the working-class will literally side with the wealthy-class oppressors.
I could go on, and I hate to burst your bubble. Steve has said numerous times that he is an optimist. But I'm not. My optimism starts where this life ends.
However, I do wish you well on the impending journey into fascist-sl@very. Whether we get there on the fast-road with the Republic-party or the slow-road with the Democrat-party, it's coming.

LOL @ the working-class fools obsessing over "cognitive decline."
As if Fetterman needs to be any better or worse than he is now to do the bidding of wealthy-class right-wingers who own and control the Republic and Democrat parties.
If moderate right-winger, Dianne Feinstein, can be propped with a rectum-rod for the past five years, then Fetterman will be fine.
If right-wing extremist, Donny Two-Scoops, can bumble through an entire term as POTUS while having the vocabulary of a toddler with a TBI, then Fetterman will be fine.
If right-wing extremist and murderer Dan Crenshaw can do the job -- after likely suffering multiple TBIs, while no longer having the legs to stand on principles nor the eyes to see logic and reason at the same time -- then Fetterman will be just fine.
If "The Squad" can be forced to espouse moderate right-wing positions on numerous policies within four years' time, then Fetterman will be just fine.
If supposedly sane liars, Kyrsten "The C. |_} |\| T" Sinema and Joe "The Geriatric" Manchin can vote with right-wing extremist Republicans, then Fetterman will be just fine.
And don't get me started on Lauren "The Dolt" Boebert, Margarine Traitor Greed, Louie "Gomer-Pile" Gohmert, and the rest of the intellectual regressives from the right-wing extremist Republic-party and the right-wing moderate Democrat-party.
They are all elected members of the right-wing wealthy-class, with 7-9-figure fortune$, doing the bidding of unelected wealthy-class right-wingers with 10-13-figure fortune$.
If all of those elected right-wing moderates and extremists can pass pro-wealthy-class and anti-working-class legislation, then Fetterman will be more than just fine: He'll be in sh!tty-good company.
I agree with the sentiments of Christine's original comment.
I disagree with the replies saying that Fetterman won't be able to serve the purpose of a corrupt, wealthy-class, right-wing government that was designed by corrupt, wealthy-class, right-wingers.

That's RW-politics in action -- media control, surveillance, suppression of independent voices, censorship, and targeting dissent -- and neither the RW-extremist Repubs nor the moderate-RW Dems will do anything about it, because BOTH parties are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the indecent, wealthy-class authoritarians & their corrupt RW-politics. And working-class dupes in the US are so ignorant, they continue voting for BOTH of these indecent RW-parties.
The corrupt wealthy-class has been using those techniques to maintain their corrupt RW-politics since the invention of currency, and it's not likely to come to a head in the US, because their are too many indecent, working-class dupes who are striving to be just like the indecent, wealthy-class knaves.

@Phatkillz Check your tone, buddy ol' pal. You didn't just "forget to say..." Your words implied that it hadn't been happening in perpetuity by saying, "never thought I'd see corporations using our police to protect their interests."
So, there are one of two options:
One, you didn't know the millennia-long history of the correlations between the wealthy-class, money, privilege, and coercion, and the working-class, slavery, subjugation, and desperation, nor the racism incurred therein.
Or, two, you knew about the history, but you chose your words foolishly by utilizing hyperbole rather than saying something more direct.
It's understandable if you didn't know the history that has constantly repeated itself up to the present. You're not alone.
It's understandable if your way of life prevents you from considering the history that is taking place in the present right in front of you. You're not alone.
But it's not understandable to just run-mouth and type-fingers with expressions of hyperbole. Hyperbole is a tool utilized in the propaganda produced by the wealthy-class.
Don't do that.
Get yourself together.
Working-class people are suffering.
Other working-class people are trying to do something about the suffering of their working-class mates.
So say what you mean.
Or say less.
Or say nothing and find a way to do something.
Oh, how I long for the days of the literal town-square where the stupidest people got no audience, and the less-stupid people knew when to STFU.
And, by the way, corporate socialism (an oxymoronic term coined by the wealthy-class propagandists) isn't why we can't have nice things.
Corporate socialism (such a foolish term to be utilized by working-class people) is a byproduct of the actual reasons why we can't have nice things.
Moderate, white, working-class liberals who make up the majority of the electorate are why we can't have nice things. (For those who don't know, in international and historical contexts, liberalism is a right-wing political ideology.)
Moderate, white, working-class liberals who support the right-wing Demlican-Repubocrat parties are why we can't have nice things. (For those who don't know, in international and historical contexts, both US political parties are economically right-wing and socially authoritarian political parties.)
An ignorant working-class dominated by moderate, white liberal individualists who aren't willing to change their lifestyles -- who are rendered inactive and apathetic by the few extra crumbs they get from the masters' tables -- are why we can't have nice things.
Sure, the wealthy-class is responsible. But the government in and of itself is not the only problem.
Sure the wealthy-class has bought, sold, bribed, and control the government. But they have done so with the consent of the governed majority of moderate, white liberals.
Working-class people -- particularly those who are okay with their level of oppression because they aren't the most oppressed members of the working-class -- have tried to relieve themselves of responsibility by claiming forgetfulness or ignorance.
The complacent, right-wing liberals in the working-class are as much to blame as the conspiratorial, right-wing liberals in the wealthy-class. They are why we can't have nice things.
Don't be like them.
And don't throw your attitude around because you've been called out.
Good day.

If she is an actual left-wing, anti-establishment progressive, she and Beto aren't going to get along.
Beto is a pro-establishment, neoliberal-conservative right-winger, just like Pelosi, McCarthy, Schumer, McConnel, Biden, Trump, Bush(2), Clinton(2), and many, many others. These people are all wealthy-class conservatives -- they are trying to conserve the system of neoliberal-fascist capitalism.
Both American political parties are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by right-wing, fascist billionaires who fund the campaigns of (s)elected right-wing, fascist millionaires.
The (s)elected fascist millionaires -- Beto, Pelosi, McCarthy, Schumer, McConnell, and the others -- vote to pass laws that exponentially benefit the wealthy-class while paying theatrical lip service to the policies which are wildly supported by the working-class.
In any of the other, better countries of the world, the Repubocrat and Demlican parties would either be the same right-wing political-party or members of a right-wing coalition.
Beto is NOT a friend to the working-class at large, and certainly not to the left, and definitely not to the international-left. Again, the American left is considered right-wing to the class-conscious international-leftists in other, better countries.
But do you know who were anti-establishment friends of the working-class? JFK, MLK, Malcolm X, Abe Lincoln, Rosa Luxemburg, and Jesus Christ. That's who. And what do those folks all have in common? They were all murdered at the behest of wealthy-class right-wingers. And if those wealthy-class right-wingers could have, they would have gotten FDR, too.
Again, Beto is a pro-establishment, pro-wealthy-class right-winger, like 95% of American politicians.
If the woman in this video is planning on standing up to that, then Beto will want to sabotage her, just like right-wing Democrat, Bakari Sellers is trying to sabotage left-wing Rashida Talib.
I could go on, but explaining American politics to Americans is f*kcing exhausting.

@StatusCoup Jordan, do you remember when Alex Jones threatened to eat his literal human-neighbors? I remember. It's probably very easy to find clips of. He said it live, on his show. It was a big deal at the time.
On a side-note: Honestly, at this point, I would trade away a single spoon-fed, shoe-footed, American RWer in exchange for a hundred hand-fed, bare-footed migrants. I already know what kind of vile garbage the American-RWer is, so I'll take my chances with the migrants. 🙄
Thank you, and Steve, for your service. You've both done more for working-class people than any cop or soldier ever has.

It's not incompetence: It's RW-politics. RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class and anti-working-class politics. Biden is a wealthy-RWer, just like Reagan, Bush Sr., Mr&Mrs Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, and Trump. Biden is doing the same things that the other wealthy-RW Presidents have done.
Edit: The incompetence is evident in the working-class dupes who continue to vote for the RW-extremist Repubs and/or the moderate-RW Dems, both of which parties are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by wealthy-class-RWers.

That lady is a moron -- she called Harris a progressive. 🤣 Harris is a capitalist/corporatist (like most of the Repub & Dem politicians are), and capitalism/corporatism are RW-systems. Harris is a RW-conservative, NOT a progressive. 🙄
Other RW-systems include Monarchism, Feudalism, Republicanism, Corporatism, & Fascism. All of those systems involve the knaves of the wealthy-class subjugating & enslaving the people of the working-class.
Some Repub-politicians are regressive, and they want to go back to the RW-systems of monarchism & feudalism to enslave the working-class (just like their campaign-donors from the wealthy-class).
And some Repub & Dem politicians want to bring about the RW-system of fascism to enslave the working-class (just like their campaign-donors from the wealthy-class want to do).
But most of the Repub & Dem politicians are conservatives who are trying to conserve the RW-systems of republicanism, capitalism, and corporatism to enslave the working-class (just like their campaign-donors from the wealthy-class).
Harris may not want to regress to RW-monarchistic & RW-feudalistic enslavement, and she may not want to move toward RW-fascistic enslavement, but she is plenty comfortable with the conservative plot to maintain RW-republican, RW-capitalist, and RW-corporatist enslavement for working-class people.
RW-politics are anti-working-class politics.
RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class politics.
All RW-systems involve the wealthy-class enslaving the working-class, and enslavement is the thing that the wealthy-class is trying to conserve.
All the problems in the world are perpetrated & perpetuated by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class with their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the working-class dupes who are dumb enough to support the corrupt wealthy-class with their corrupt RW-politics.
Harris is a member of group (a). And any working-class person who supports Harris or Trump is a member of group (b). That includes the working-class dupe being interviewed in the video, and it includes anyone in the working-class who agrees with her.
So, congratulations... 🥳
...you're a dupe. 😒

These working-class dupes fell for the RW-propaganda of the wealthy-class that says, "sMaLL gOvErNmEnT gOOd!!!"🤪 These working-class dupes are now living the truthful-consequences of the faux-truth they voted for.
Also, I would bet that most anyone in NC, who is "living in a tent" related to the hurricane, is doing it (a)by choice, and/or (b)for clout, to (c)fuel the misplaced-outrage.
But even if these working-class dupes ARE living in tents against their will, it is important to remember, again, that they voted for their own suffering.
I've had to live in a tent against my will. BUT, I didn't vote for it.
My suffering, and the suffering of MILLIONS of people was caused by (a)the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics, and by (b)the working-class dupes who voted for the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
I have sympathy & empathy for the working-class dupes who are suffering, but most of them voted for their own suffering, and they voted for the suffering of countless other innocent working-class people.
But, just because I have sympathy & empathy for the ignorant, working-class dupes who voted for their own suffering, that doesn't mean I'm going to coddle their ignorance.
Perhaps these working-class dupes, who voted for the "tough love" espoused by RW-politics, need to experience the "tough love" which they have repeatedly voted for.

There are too many duped, working-class addict-buyers in America to achieve real change. The working-class addict-buyers are addicted to spending money, addicted to acquiring possessions, addicted to sparkly stuff, shiny things, flashy trinkets, and blinking gadgets. They're addicted to emulating the lifestyles they think right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers live.
But the real cause of inflation is the right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers who own businesses. Those right-wing, wealthy-class addicts-dealers who own businesses are the ones who set prices. Those right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers are stockpiling money and rigging supply-chains for when they put a stop to the addiction-economy to cull the masses of working-class addict-buyers who don't want their addictions mitigated by wealthy-class addict-dealers.
If you think crime is bad now, wait until the right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers who own businesses feel really threatened by the working-class addict-buyers. Then those right-wing wealthy-class addict-dealers will absolutely beat the economy into a coma, and then the working-class addict-buyers will really be suffering.
And do you think those duped, working-class addict-buyers are going to turn on the right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers? Nope! The working-class dupes will turn against each other instead of turning against the right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers who hold the keys to the supply of addictions.
And, if anyone needed any clarification, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, McCarthy, Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush x2, Clinton x2, and Reagan are/were all right-wing, wealthy-class addict-dealers. But I just call them C. |_} |\| T S.
Glad I gave up my addictions years ago. :)
Good luck everybody!

@JonS You're not seeking a position of power??? I've literally seen you on TWO channels, now, whining because they wouldn't platform you when you were RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Your "advice" is not plausible for me. But you don't have the capability, nor the willingness, to comprehend the various troubles & situations of the people of this country, let alone the world.
I'm basically stuck -- a hostage, an indentured-servant -- living at the whims of people who threaten to make me homeless ALL THE TIME.
My advice to you is to quit whining in the comments-section, and use your accumulated-wealth to help those in need. Because this thing that you're doing -- whatever it is you want to call it -- is not remotely helpful.
I understand you, now -- you got yours, and it's everyone for themselves -- you're very much a product of this knavish-system, which you've very clearly benefited from (I've seen your LinkedIn page and your property-listing on Zillow).
Your "advice" is substandard-foolishness at best, and standard-knavishness at worst.
"PaiNt a hoUsE!" 🤡
SMH. Sickening.

Look up and watch the most recent interview of Thomas Frank by RJ Eskow on The Zero Hour, and you'll get an idea as to why "lefties" recoil and fall in line when they enter "The Big Show" that is controlled by wealthy-class, right-wing, authoritarians.
When anyone to the left of the wealthy-class makes it to The Big Show, they are exposed to the fragility of society.
From now on, they will be reminded about the fragility that was displayed in the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and how close some of them came to being made public examples of.
They are educated about what has happened to leftists in the past in this country -- the assassination of character, the imprisonment of bodies, the deportation of citizens, the disappearance of humans, and the forced separation of souls from their consciousness.
Then, they are asked if they want to become the first/next victim(s) of the fragility, if and when the wealthy-class decides to fabricate and allow the collapse of the systems that have been infiltrated and corrupted by the wealthy-class.
For most people, self-preservation of life, even though it benefits the wealthy-class minority, is paramount to self-sacrifice for liberty, even if it would benefit the working-class majority.
The reason these self-proclaimed leftists seem so feckless and ignorant is that they are preventing the demise of themselves and their families.
At the same time, they are avoiding the kind of collapse that is imposed upon foreign countries by the US when those foreign countries democratically elect actual leftist governments.

George was correct about so many things.
But I would amend his words to the following...
"America is a pro-wealthy-class & anti-working-class monopoly, that is controlled by a populace-minority of educated, wealthy-class, right-wing, addicted knaves -- all of which, and whom, are protected by a populace-majority of armies & gangs made up of uneducated, working-class, right-wing, addicted dupes."
...or something like that.
The working-class world has benefited from Carlin's words and works from the past. His words have been, and will continue to be shown as, more prophetic and exposing as time goes forward.
But I sure would love to hear his commentary on the present-day regression back into the rhyming-history of the socioeconomic & political doldrums that are inherent in the right-wing systems of slavery, monarchism, feudalism, and capitalism.
I'm sure that he hoped for these wealthy-right-wing systems to be relegated to the international-dustbin of history, and I sure do envy his not having to witness where the world is today. But I wonder if Carlin realized that this rhyming-nature of history would come back around so quickly and furiously.
Carlin has helped me so much, and I do miss him greatly -- even more so than I miss some deceased family members who have harmed me.

Hey Jordan, this segment could have easily been part of the Economic Hunger Games Series. Perhaps Veronica cannot currently fathom and explain her family's economic difficulties from when she was a child, but economics most certainly affected her parent's decisions and, thus, lead to Veronica's subsequent and continued suffering.
Whatever economic situation her family was in, it was a situation shared by most working-class people. Working-class parents have to struggle to make ends meet, and so they have to make sacrifices in their lives to maintain the struggle. Those sacrifices made by working-class families cause residual suffering throughout families, communities, and society.
One of the sacrifices made by working-class parents is reducing the number of relationships and limiting the amount of effort they put into each one. Working-class people have to ration their energy, so they have to decide how much effort to put into different relationships. Children have been the greatest victims of this energy-rationing strategy by working-class parents and communities.
The economic difficulties of working-class people are unique to each individual who experiences a specific difficulty, even though the number of economic difficulties that can be experienced is finite.
However, despite the internet's ability to expose all of the different economic difficulties and suffering that come from those difficulties, the cyclical nature of working-class suffering and sacrifice expands and expounds with every generation.
We now have generations of children who have grown into ignorant adults. Some of the children were raised by other ignorant children, causing them all to become ignorant adults. Some children were raised by trinkets and gadgets. Some by tech devices and television. All of these scenarios are nothing less than neglect.
Some adults are incapable of parenting, and some are unwilling, and of course, there are combinations. The ones who are incapable are ignorant, and the ones who are unwilling are lazy. If a child was, or is, forced to suffer under the guardianship of ignorant and lazy adults, that child is a victim. As a society, those children are owed a debt by those who cause and allow their suffering.
The neglect of a child by its parents increases the chances of that child neglecting their own children and families in the future. The neglect of a child by its community increases the chances of that child neglecting society in the future.
A neglected child is more likely to become an incompassionate and careless adult who is more likely to value possessions over people, among numerous other negative ramifications on the individual in adulthood which inevitably spill over into society.
Then, when neglected children act up or act out, the neglectful working-class parents do terrible things to the children whom they have neglected. For example, sending their neglected children to places that are run by other desperate working-class people, such as Veronica's case.
And, when neglected children turn into troubled working-class adults who act up or act out, the desperate working-class society does terrible things to the troubled working-class adults. For example, sending the troubled adults to places that are run by other desperate working-class adults, such as Veronica's case.
What Veronica went through, what I went through, and what countless other kids have gone through can all be linked and attributed to economics.
What Vernonica, myself, and countless other kids have gone through is due to our working-class parents and their inability to define the economic-system of perpetrated-desperation and perpetual-struggle, and to identify the wealthy-class people who have forced the working-class to suffer and struggle under their boots.
The ignorance of our working-class parents is the product of subpar education.
That subpar education is the product of subpar funding.
That subpar funding is the product of subpar legislation.
That subpar legislation is the product of subpar legislators.
Those subpar legislators are the products of subpar government.
That subpar government is the product of the subpar humans from the wealthy-class who created the country.
The subpar humans from the wealthy-class who created this country didn't want a fair government with equitable rules.
The subpar wealthy-class humans who created this country wanted the right to own other humans, child-bearers, and children as property.
The subpar wealthy-class humans who started this country passed on their knowledge of manipulation and exploitation to the subpar wealthy-class humans who control the country today.
The wealthy-class of old knew what the wealthy-class of today knows, and that is this: Stupid people make better slav... I mean, workers. Stupid people make better workers.
The wealthy-class in the past didn't want intelligent citizens. They wanted stupid workers. The same is true for the wealthy-class of the present.
What really brings this story full circle is this:
1. Wealthy-class people like Mitt Romney created MONEY and have perpetrated and perpetuated this rigged, hierarchical economic-system to create cushy lifestyles for themselves off the backs of working-class suffering.
2. Veronica's parents suffered to earn MONEY in the rigged economic-system that was created and has been maintained by the Mitt-Romneys of the world.
3. While Veronica's parents suffered to earn the MONEY, Veronica was suffering, too, in the absence of her parents.
4. Then, after Veronica's parents suffered working in Mitt Romney's rigged economic-system, her parents turned around and gave the MONEY right back to Mitt Romney to take Veronica away and cause her to suffer more.
And the full-circle of this story, along with the countless others just like it that ring and rhyme throughout history, is disgusting.
P.S. To anyone who says that Veronica's family couldn't have had economic difficulties because her father had $40,000 to spend: You are delusional. Having $40,000 doesn't mean you graduate from the working-class into the wealthy-class.
Quite the contrary; all the proof needed to assert that her father is bogged down by planned-ignorance -- the kind of ignorance that comes under the boot of wealthy-class oppression -- was when he gave $40,000 to strangers to take his daughter because he didn't get along with her.

It wouldn't matter if Fetterman were a military officer with combat stripes on his uniform and owned a reputable old-folks home with a daycare attached to it. He would still be dragged to the moderate right-wing position by wealthy-class, right-wing extremists in the Democrat-party who are working in cahoots with wealthy-class, right-wing extremists in the Republic-party.
Remember how young, vibrant, and healthy "The Squad" was when they were elected? Well, look at "The Squad" now. Most of them, if not all, have regressed to wealthy-class, moderate right-wing positions on one policy or another. They were all dragged to that moderate right-wing position by right-wing extremists in the wealthy-class Republic and Democrat parties.
Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, and McCarthy, as well as Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush x2, Clinton x2, and Reagan, are/were all wealthy-class, right-wing conservatives. They're trying to conserve the white-supremacist systems of neoliberal & neoconservative, authoritarian capitalism.
Wherever, throughout history, you find a failed working-class movement, experiment, or government, you'll find wealthy-class, right-wing, extremist capitalists behind the scenes, trying to cause the failure of the working-class.
The wealthy-class right-wingers fabricate the desperate conditions under which working-class people volunteer to sabotage, murder, and torture other working-class strangers and their communities.
The wealthy-class right-wingers bribe working-class people to murder their own friends, families, and neighbors, and sabotage communities.
Neither "The Squad" working together on their worst days, nor Fetterman working alone on his best, will be able to break the bonds that the extremist, wealthy-class, right-wing minority has on the working-class majority.

@OddWoz Biden is a RWer, and Trump is a RWer. The Dem-party is a moderate-RW party and the Repub-party is a RW-extremist party, but they are both RW-parties. BOTH parties have ALLOWED & ENABLED these catastrophes. They are BOTH 'paid off' by the SAME people.
RW-politics are anti-working-class politics.
RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class politics.
Biden, and the moderate-RW Dem party -- like Trump, and the RW-extremist Repub party -- are ALL 'paid off' by the SAME corrupt wealthy-class with their corrupt RW-politics.
There are other, smarter working-class people in other, better countries, who understand that (a)BOTH political-parties in the US are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the indecent, wealthy-class authoritarians & their corrupt RW-politics, and (b)THAT is why the US is such a sh!tehole.

The corrupt wealthy-class, & their corrupt RW-politics, NEEDS those dopes & psychos to maintain wealthy-class dominance over the working-class. So, the wealthy-class uses their wealth to produce propaganda, which indoctrinates working-class people, turning them into dopey&psychotic dupes who volunteer to be vile&violent cops&soldiers. They wealthy-class has been running this ruse for literal millennia, and working-class people have never been able to overcome it.
Sure, the working-class makes gains here & there. But never collectively, all at once. The wealthy-class is, and has always been ten steps ahead. Because they don't have to worry about food, clothes, and shelter, and they have departments, squads, and armies full of vile&violent dopes&psychos protecting them, and all of that gives them ample free-time to conspire against the working-class.
I was trying to think of something positive to end with...

The Democrat party's owners don't care what you do. They own the Republican party, too. And if you start a third party, they'll buy that party out from under you, too. You're too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics.
Ever since the SCOTUS ruled to legalize bribery & corruption with their decisions in the cases of Buckley v. Valeo[1976] and First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti[1978], BOTH major political-parties in the US (and most of the smaller parties) have been bought, owned, and controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. And they've been solidifying their power, with the help of both major parties, ever since.
Working-class dupes in the US are too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics.

Stein did an interview and wouldn't call Putin a war-criminal, nor would she call him a RW-extremist. And, by the same token, there are countless Republicans who have done interviews in which they wouldn't call Putin a war-criminal or a RW-extremist, either. Perhaps Stein is a RW-extremist like the RW-extremist Repubs who use the same rhetoric as Stein.
Vote for the corrupt, RW-extremist Repubs&Russians, for the fast, open-road to Fascism.
Vote for the corrupt, moderate-RW Dems, for the slower, disguised-road to Fascism.
BOTH political-parties in the US are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. Stein AND Putin are BOTH members of the SAME corrupt wealthy-class as the Repubs & Dems, and, thus, they are BOTH RWers, just like the Repubs & Dems.

It's not mind blowing at all.
The EPA is controlled by corrupt, wealthy-class right-wingers.
America's "founding" was funded by corrupt, wealthy-class right-wingers.
The German-Nazi army and Confederate-Enslaver army were both bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by corrupt wealthy-class right-wingers. And working-class fools volunteered for both armies.
The corporate-Repubocrat party and corporate-Demlican party are both bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by corrupt, wealthy-class right-wingers. And working-class fools vote for both parties.
The only thing mind blowing is how dumb the working-class Germans and Confederates were in the past, and how dumb the working-class Americans are in the present.

And "Neoliberalism" is a RW-economic-ideology that is based on the corruption of society by the corrupt wealthy-class (just like all RW-conomic-ideologies). For the past 50-years, all Repub-politicians, and most Dem-politicians, including Harris, Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush, Clinton, & Reagan, are/were ALL conservatives when it comes to RW-economic-politics. And the RW-economic-system they are/were trying to conserve is called Neoliberal Capitalism/Fascism. All RW-political-systems (monarchism, feudalism, capitalism, fascism) are just forms of sl@very by other names.

@raymondhardie3880 Learn MMT. The money in your pocket, and in your savings & checking accounts, is NOT the same as the sovereign currency of a nation.
With comments like yours, it's no wonder the US is such a RW-sh!thole.
You working-class dupes in the US continuously vote for the RW-extremist Repubs & moderate-RW Dems, both of which parties are bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics.
The wealthy-class knaves have got you working-class dupes regurgitating talking-points that are decades-upon-centuries old, and, meanwhile, those same wealthy-class knaves are using MMT for bad, to pillage the country.
If you working-class dupes in the US would stop fawning over the wealthy-class, stop engaging in the lifestyle-addictions they're feeding you, and pick up some books, you could be using MMT for good, just like they do in other, better countries with better, smarter working-class people.
Crawl out of the ancient-caves of propagandist-indoctrination that the corrupt, wealthy-class knaves have constructed for you, with their corrupt, RW-politics of authoritarianism..
Society doesn't have to be rigged by the wealthy-class, but you working-class dupes have to get out of your own way. A good place to start is MMT.

Logic, reason, cognitive dissonance, The Dunning-Kruger Effect, The Four Stages of Competence, The Paradox of Tolerance, equity, equality, oppression, repression, and suppression, micro/macroeconomics, propaganda, indoctrination, social/psychological conditioning.
All of those things are understood by the wealthy right-wingers who own the Repub & Dem parties. And those wealthy right-wing Repubs & Dems remain in power because the working-class Repub & Dem right-wingers do not understand those things.
Ignorant working-class fools were the reason why wealthy Confederate & Nazi right-wingers were able to remain in power. And that's why wealthy right-wingers don't want an intelligent working-class -- because ignorant working-class fools will vote against their own interests, and they won't even be able to comprehend it.
Ignorant working-class fools will be the reason the U.S. sh!thole will fall. Just like ignorant working-class fools were the reason the Confederate and Nazi sh!tholes fell. I just hope I live long enough to see it.

Working-class dupes in the US are too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics.
Ever since the SCOTUS ruled to legalize bribery & corruption with their decisions in the cases of Buckley v. Valeo[1976] and First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti[1978], BOTH major political-parties in the US (and most of the smaller parties) have been bought, owned, and controlled by the corrupt wealthy-class & their corrupt RW-politics. And the wealthy-class has been solidifying their power, with the help of both major parties, ever since.
The Democrat party's owners from the wealthy-class don't care what the working-class people do. The wealthy-class owns the Republican party, too. And if working-class people in the US try to start a third party, the wealthy-class will buy that party out from under them, too.
The US is too late, and too ignorant, for party-politics. If you want to know about the historical solutions for problems such as this, you'll have to learn about the Union, circa 1860-1865 and the Allies, circa 1939-1945.
