  23. ​ @mastadon  ​Firstly: ALL working-class people are personally affected by the autocratic minority-rule of wealthy right-wingers. And, secondly: MOST of the ones I know, personally, write just as poorly as you do. If I were as ignorant as most working-class people, I would ask the following: 1. Who failed you in your youth by teaching/allowing you to write so poorly? 2. Which right-wing, red-blue state did you receive such substandard education in? 3. When did you decide to stop trying to get any better at writing, OR do you not realize how bad you are at it, thus preventing you from choosing to improve? But I'm not ignorant, so I don't need to ask those questions. I already know that you're in the same anti-intellectual, anti-education, anti-self-aware bubble as most working-class American dupes. And I know it simply based on the low-quality and obtuse-context of your reply. Perhaps that's why my writing style/quality is something you're not accustomed to -- because you've chosen to dwell in a bubble of duped working-class right-wingers who reek of low-quality steeped in obtuse-context. Or, maybe you don't have the cognitive-ability to realize the bubble you're in, thus preventing you from choosing otherwise. But I do not share the same cognitive-condition as you and the people you've surrounded yourself with, all of which have caused you to reply to me as you have. Nor do I want to be like you all. I don't want to be anything like the 150+ million working-class American dupes who voted for two right-wingers in the last election for POTUS. Nor do I spend my time around such dupes. So the answers to those 3-questions in regards to you, personally, don't matter to me -- you're in the same bubble as most working-class American dupes, and I'm not. I'm not so obtuse that I don't realize that I am also in a bubble. In fact, maybe I'm in more than one bubble. Let me take a moment to self-reflect -- to engage in the introspection that caused me to choose to become better at communicating in writing -- and let's talk about the bubbles I'm in: 1. The disabled bubble -- even though I have the willingness, motivation, and skills to work. 2. The debt bubble -- even though I never intended to be, and would like to be free of said debt. 3. The homeless bubble -- even though I know of countless duped working-class right-wingers who COULD help me, but WON'T help me because they are duped working-class right-wingers. 4. The unemployment bubble -- even though I have searched for and applied to many jobs, I have no job prospects because right-wing Repubs and right-wing Dems don't/won't hire people who are disabled, in debt, and/or homeless, with gaps in their employment-histories. So, yes, I do reside in some bubbles, you're right about that. But the bubbles in which I reside are all perpetrated and perpetuated by the political choices of right-wing Repubs and right-wing Dems. The bubbles in which I dwell are the cause of BOTH right-wing political parties, BOTH of which are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class knaves who choose to exploit and manipulate the working-class. And BOTH of those right-wing political parties have been supported by working-class dupes who have chosen to vote for BOTH of those right-wing political parties. And those working-class dupes have chosen to vote for BOTH of those right-wing political parties for one of a couple of reasons: 1. Because they're too ignorant to comprehend the extent of the inherent exploitation and manipulation in right-wing politics, which are perpetuated by BOTH right-wing political parties, which they and their working-class mates are victims of. OR 2. Because they are PRETENDING that they don't comprehend the exploitation and manipulation inherent in right-wing politics while being fully aware of said exploitation and manipulation. And so they vote for one of the two right-wing political parties with the hopes that the working-class people from the other right-wing political party will remain more victimized than themselves. And just for the record; if a working-class person were pretending not to know such a thing for their own personal benefit, to the detriment of other working-class people, then that pretending would cause a working-class fool to be reclassified as a knave and a class-traitor. Whether a working-class person is a duped unknowing-fool or a devious knowing-knave, it is possible to care about them as humans, even if I don't want to be like them, or even be around them. But, whether you're a duped-fool or a devious-knave, neither is anything of which to be proud. You know, I don't even understand what depth you're trying to reach with your response to my original comment, because, your response is so shallow. But your words alone won't drown me. I won't stop until some right-winger, like you, chops my fingers off or buries me in the dirt, which I fully expect to happen. If history is any indicator of the future (which, it is) then I fully expect my demise to come at the hands of you, or someone like you. But, until then, I'm going to continue swimming in the sea of the written-word. And until then -- with all the respect you deserve and kindness I can muster -- you should try to write better, and/or GFYS.

  35. If you're just learning about "libertarianism," then you need to know that the libertarian-concept in historical-practice has NOT been the same as the Libertarian-party in modern-practice. The Libertarian-party is bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the same corrupt wealthy-class, with their corrupt RW-politics, as the Repub&Dem parties. Libertarians, Repubs&Dems, ALL espouse a small government, and they view the libertarian-concept to mean the inequitable "freedom TO oppress others" and NOT the equitable "freedom FROM oppression by others." If the government isn't strong enough to ensure "freedom FROM oppression," then the biggest, strongest, and most vile&violent people would impose their "freedom TO oppress" the smallest, weakest, kindest & most-vulnerable people (instead of just having the people from the wealthy-class oppressing the people of the working-class, like we have now). The people in the modern Libertarian-party advocate for small government and the individual freedom TO oppress others. The people for the historical libertarian-concept advocate for a government that is big enough to protect the weakest&poorest individual's freedom FROM oppression by the strongest&wealthiest. The Libertarian-party was literally started by some corrupt billionaires from the wealthy-class, because the Repubs&Dems weren't shrinking & destroying the government fast enough for them & their corrupt RW-politics. Don't be fooled -- the political-Libertarians of the present are NOT the conceptual-libertarians of the past. And when push-come-to-shove, the working-class dupes in the Libertarian-party will do whatever their masters in the wealthy-class tell them to do.

  42. Climate wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't so much production. Production wouldn't be a problem if there weren't so many consumers. Consumption wouldn't be a problem if there weren't so many addicts. Addiction wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't a wealthy-class. The wealthy-class wouldn't exist if they were eradicated, frequently and on a schedule. Right-wing politics are pro-wealthy-class politics. Right-wing politics are anti-working-class politics. Wealthy-class right-wingers will never willingly give up their addictions, and they'll always try to enslave the working-class to produce those addictions. The wealthy-class right-wingers will co-opt the dumbest fools in the working-class and turn those dumb working-class fools into cops and soldiers. The wealthy-class right-wingers will give a few extra crumbs to those foolish working-class cops and soldiers, and, in exchange, those those foolish working-class cops and soldiers will protect the addictions of the wealthy-class right-wingers. Then, the wealthy-class right-wingers will give those foolish working-class cops and soldiers a taste of the addiction to power, turning those foolish working-class cops and soldiers into power-addicts. Then, those armed, foolish working-class addicts will be just like their wealthy-class overlords -- they will NEVER willingly give up their addictions. Those armed, foolish working-class addicts will murder you and your entire family to maintain those addictions.They'll murder their own friends, families, and neighbors if the wealthy-class overlords tell them to -- just like the Nazi and Confederate soldiers did. The wealthy-class knaves and the working-class fools will sabotage the entire earth just to maintain their addictions. Until the wealthy-class knaves and the working-class fools, and the countries that give them harbor, are brought to heel, the Earth's problems will persist. Do the unborn a favor: start practicing antinatalism. Do your part to breed the parasitic human race out of existence.

  44. CardiB didn't get betrayed -- she got played. She is literally part of the problem & shouldn't be taken seriously. And Kyle shouldn't be taken seriously for giving publicity to her ignorance. Cardi, like Kyle, is a former working-class dupe who got lucky in the inequitable economic-lottery that is perpetrated & perpetuated by the hereditary members of the corrupt wealthy-class, who maintain their lifestyle-addictions via their corrupt RW-politics. And, now, Cardi, like Kyle, is so addicted to her lifestyle that she's unwilling to make meaningful sacrifices to help the least-fortunate for the betterment of society, just like the other lifestyle-addicts from the corrupt wealthy-class. And there are the millions of other working-class dupes who strive to become just like CardiB, and like Kyle. And just like Cardi, those other working-class dupes are too dumb to realize, and certainly too egotistical to admit it, that they are part of the problem. Just like all the egotistical wealthy-class knaves who are unwilling to (a)admit that their lifestyle-addictions are toxic, and (b)sacrifice their lifestyle-addictions to help the least-fortunate for the betterment of society. CardiB, like Kyle, is just one of the many working-class pawns who have been given entry into the corrupt wealthy-class by the corrupt, hereditary members of the corrupt wealthy-class. And she, like Kyle, is too dumb to comprehend that she's just like the house-workers from the past who were used by those same hereditary members of the corrupt wealthy-class as pawns against the field-workers. RW-politics are pro-wealthy-class & anti-working-class politics. CardiB is a house-worker, but she's been allowed into the wealthy-class, and now she benefits from the same corrupt RW-politics as the wealthy-class, and she knows it. She doesn't want to risk being demoted to a field-worker again, so she will vote for Trump or Biden, or she won't vote at all. Vote RW-extremist Repubs for the fast, open-road from capitalist-slavery to fascist-slavery. Vote moderate-RW Dems for the slower, disguised-road from capitalist-slavery to fascist-slavery. CardiB didn't get "betrayed" -- she got played like a pawn, and she'll continue to be played for as long as she continues to prioritize her lifestyle-addictions over education. But she's certainly not someone who should be taken seriously by serious working-class people. Just like Klandace Owens, Larry Elder, Jesse Lee Peterson, Senator Tim (UncleThomas) Scott & (in)Justice Clarence (uncle)Thomas shouldn't be taken seriously. And Kyle, as a moderate-RW member of the wealthy-class, shouldn't be taken seriously for giving her publicity.

  47. RWers* rigged the primary. Twice. The moderate-RW Dems & the RW-extremist Repubs are BOTH bought, owned, bribed, & controlled by the same corrupt wealthy-class, with the same corrupt RW-politics. They are the ones who rigged the primaries in 2016&2020. The wealthy-class, with their corrupt RW-politics, are working together behind the scenes, and a majority of working-class dupes continue to strive to be just like them. The wealthy-class people, around the globe, have a severe & debilitating addiction problem, resulting in a subsequent mental-health epidemic. And they have passed on their addictions & mental-illness to the working-class. The people in the US & the west are addicted to their lifestyles, and that addiction permeates, both, the wealthy-class AND the working-class. And just like any other kind of addict, they will NEVER willingly give up their addictions. The indecent & vile knaves from the wealthy-class will command & fund the destruction, and the indecent & vile dupes from the working-class will submit & commit the destruction -- all against other working-class strangers abroad, all for the cause of maintaining their lifestyle addictions. In fact, the addicts will not only commit atrocities against working-class strangers abroad, but they ruin the entire earth, including the communities of their own family & friends, in order to maintain their addictions. "Western-Culture" & "RW-politics" are a breeding-ground for human-parasites, just like the Roman Empire, the Confedrate South, and Nat-C Germany were.
