  23. I agree with your sentiment. But it's NOT weird. Cutting the pay of wealthy-addicts is NEVER an option under the pro-wealthy & anti-worker economic systems inherent to right-wing politics. It has been the playbook of wealthy right-wingers since the invention of currency. In the past, slavery, feudalism, and monarchy were the names for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic systems under right-wing politics. And today, capitalism is simply the modern name for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic system under right-wing politics. And, with a new name for the pro-wealthy and anti-worker economic system, the wealthy right-wing addicts also came up with new descriptors to disguise the feudalist-slavery-monarchal nature of capitalism. (A)Slaves from the past are called prisoners or illegal-aliens in the present. (B)Serfs from the past are called employees in the present. (C)Masters, lords, and kings from the past are called supervisors, managers, employers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, investors, and financiers in the present. (D)Slave patrollers from the past are called police patrollers in the present. (E)Knights from the past are called soldiers in the present. There are numerous examples of how the wealthy right-wing addicts have manipulated language for their benefit over time, using propaganda and hyperbole. And just as the wealthy right-wingers have changed their language, so, too, should the working-class. Again, I agree with your sentiments. But I disagree with the hyperbolic way in which the wealthy-vs-worker dichotomy is discussed. The working-class needs to be much more direct and sincere in our language -- enough of this under-handed, behind-the-back, or watered-down kind of talk. The wealthy right-wing addicts will NEVER give up their addictions willingly. And it's time for workers to stop pretending they will. It's time for the working-class to stop talking and acting like this socioeconomic hierarchy is something new -- this wealthy, right-wing, hierarchical bullsh!te has been going on for millennia. It's time for workers to stop communicating in hyperbole, like, "it's weird how..." or "it's funny that..." The minority-rule by the wealthy-class, under which the working-class majority struggles, IS NOT weird -- it is by design. The socioeconomic subjugation of workers by the wealthy right-wing addicts IS NOT weird -- it is purposeful. It is NOT weird -- it's normal. And it will continue to be the norm until working-class people take it more seriously and speak about it more directly. Because, not only will the wealthy right-wing addicts never, EVER, willingly give up their addictions, but they'll also promote, encourage, and facilitate the sabotage, murder, and genocide of communities, individuals, and entire nations of people. The wealthy right-wingers have been doing these things for time immemorial. It is not even slightly weird -- it's f*kcing normal. And it's time that working-class people recognize and remember it. The wealthy right-wingers aren't going to change their tactics or their desired outcome. But working-class people certainly need to change our tactics. Again, I agree with your sentiment but completely disagree with your style. And I find it absurd that your comment is at the top of the comments-section when there are so many other, better comments that should be at the top. My words aren't meant to discourage anyone -- I don't take my words lightly -- my words are meant to encourage us to do better. Sorry -- not sorry -- if anyone is offended by these words.

  65. ​ @animalfarm7467  Come on. It's hard to take you seriously. First, you imply that you read the definitive rebuke of the American brand of Liberal-Conservativitism/Conservative-Liberalism, to which all post-WW2 POTUS's -- from Truman to Nixon, Reagen to Clinton, and Bush to Trump to Biden -- have adhered. Second, you claim to agree with the rebuke. Third, you even took the time to copy and paste the rebuke. And then, you ask if the author -- whose rebuke of Clinton's Conservative-Liberalism/Liberal-Conservatism you claim to agree with -- is a Clinton-Liberal? I don't bet that a one-word answer would shut you up. As for Goodman. She, like King, has extensive archives of the work she's contributed. It shows a childish naivete or lack of critical thinking skills to imply that Goodman hasn't received threats similar to those delivered to King. (I've had my life threatened several times by right-wingers in the past few years, and I'm a nobody. So I'm sure Goodman has too, and from more sources than I.) Goodman doesn't need me to defend her, and I don't need to justify my accounting of her on my list to you. But, I'll give you a logical progression that might explain why Goodman isn't what you want her to be. 1a) King does his thing. 2a) King gets told by 3-letter agencies. 3a) King DOESN'T obey. 4a) King DOES get rolled for doing his thing. 1b) Amy does her thing. 2b) Amy gets told by 3-letter agencies. 3b) Amy DOES obey. 4b) Amy DOESN'T get rolled and lives on to do as much of her thing as she's able. 5) You (a) celebrate King in his death while you fear your own, and you (b) curse Amy's life while you waste your own. It seems like a pretty clear case of prioritizing self-preservation, which I find to be a prominent common trait among folks who don't share the same faith, nor level thereof, that King had. I won't fault her for that. Nor will I exclude the high quality of her past work just because I don't know her motives behind the reasoning for her more recent work. We all have blood on our hands. Some by a commission and some by omission. Some by complacency and apathy, and some by reservation and preservation. There is a song called 'Getting Old' by Satsang. Some of the lyrics go, "But if there's blood on my hands, then can I still preach" -- I say yes. Even if Goodman isn't what you want her to be, she can still contribute value. Just because she isn't contributing the way you want her to, that doesn't mean that she is no longer valuable. Frankly, your previous engagements make it seem like you're not interested in any probable reality other than the one you've concocted in your own mind. Further, you seem like a right-wing troll who repeatedly asks the same question as if you're trying to waste the time of better people who are against your right-wing, American Liberal-Conservative/Conservative-Liberal, authoritarianism. You seem like the fools and knaves from the Trump Administration whom Liberal-Robert Reich wrote and spoke about some years back. Either your comprehension skills aren't as lofty as you believe (meaning you're a fool), or your writing/acting skills are terrible (meaning you're a knave). Whether you're a fool or a knave, Libservative or Conservibral, neither is anything to be proud of. I never wasted ANY of my time voting for Jeffery Epstein's friends Donald Clinton and Bill Trump, and I won't waste any more of my time on you. Good day, sir. (Insert your response here.) I SAID GOOD DAY.

  86. "This shit is unreal. Wtf..." I know this sounds cliche, but the worst has yet to come. If the cyclical, repetitive and rhyming nature of history are any indicators of the future -- which they are -- then we have only just begun. The wealthy-class has been planning forever, conspiring on how to utilize their resources to create the worst conditions imaginable for the working-class. The wealthy-class minority will continue their economic mob-rule over the working-class majority. The wealthy-class will never give up their addictions, and they will do whatever they can to compel the working-class into producing those addictions. The depths of imposed-despair that can be manufactured by the wealthy-class, coupled with the displays of impoverished-derangement that can be committed by the working-class, have barely scratched the surface. The working-class will 'act out' as oppressed and desperate people and animals do. The misplaced rage of the more vicious members of the working-class aimed against the more vulnerable members of the working-class is nowhere near the extent it can reach. Rather than rising up against the conniving wealthy-class oppressors, the co-opted dupes of the working-class will turn against their working-class mates. The wealthy-class will use their wealth to purchase the services of working-class dupes to act as buffers between their working-class mates and the wealthy-class masters. That means more working-class cops patrolling other working-class humans confined in crumbling communities. It means more torturous working-class guards enslaving other working-class humans in concrete cages. It means more working-class soldiers conscripted into conquest against other working-class soldiers. All of these things -- policing, prisons, perturbation, and pugnacity -- are done at the behest and to the benefit of the wealthy-class overlords. More ignorance. More fear. More anger. More hate. More sabotage. More violence. More death. More genocide. I don't say this to discourage you, but to warn you, prepare you, and, if at all possible, encourage you. These things have happened before -- history holds the keys to the knowledge of the future -- and they are happening again. Much love and peace to you and yours in these difficult times.

  101. The Nashville shooter was prompted by the same things that prompted the citizens/soldiers of the Union & Allied countries/militaries. They were all prompted by: (1)The ignorant bigotry and preemptive violence which were perpetrated and perpetuated by lazy, knavish, white-supremacist, wealthy-right-wing, Confederate & Nazi genocidal enslavers. (2) The ignorant bigotry and preemptive violence which were perpetrated and perpetuated by the working-class dupes who supported the lazy, knavish, white-supremacist, wealthy-right-wing, Confederate & Nazi genocidal enslavers. (3) The ignorant bigotry and preemptive violence which were perpetrated and perpetuated by lazy, knavish, white-supremacist, genocidal enslavers who are primarily cisgendered heterosexual males from the wealthy-class and the working-class. The Nashville shooter, along with the Allied & Union citizen-soldiers, acted in self-defense from and vengeance against numbers 1, 2, and 3 above. The Nashville shooter and the Allied & Union citizen-soldiers were working toward the construction of a better world, free of the bigotry, violence, enslavement, and genocide that has been perpetrated and perpetuated by lazy, knavish, white-supremacist, cis-gendered, heterosexual, male right-wingers from the wealthy-class, and free of the working-class dupes who support the wealthy-class right-wing. I'm sorry that the working-class dupes in your life failed to demand a proper education for you, and foolishly gave you over to the propagandist indoctrination which was fed to them by the lazy, knavish, white-supremacist, genocidal, enslaving, wealthy right-wingers.

  134. In a word: Nothing. Nothing happened to "your" democracy. The U.S. is NOT now, nor has it EVER been a democracy. FFS, the U.S, sh!thole is barely even a republic. At best, the U.S. was an oligarchy; a feudalist&capitalist police-state, with meaningless selective-suffrage, while chattel-slaves, debt-slaves, and wage-slaves from the working-class lived under the minority-rule of wealthy-class right-wingers. At worst, the U.S. has been a kakistocracy; a nepotistic&plutocratic military-state, with meaningless theatrical-suffrage, while chattel-slaves, debt-slaves, and wage-slaves from the working-class live under the minority-rule of wealthy-class right-wingers. This "democracy" you speak of has NEVER existed in the U.S. shthole. You've been indoctrinated with lies by the wealthy right-wing propagandists who own the media companies -- ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, and FOX are ALL owned by wealthy right-wingers. And those wealthy right-wingers who own the propagandist & indoctrinating media corporations are the same wealthy right-wingers who fund the moderate right-wing DNC and the extremist right-wing RNC. Those same wealthy right-wingers also fund the facade-fringe parties: the ultra-right-wing extremist "Libertarian" party, and the center-right DSA party. The Libertarian party is actually anti-libertarian in concept, and they are even more extremist than the Repub party. And the center-right DSA party is basically of the same ideology as the 1930s-1980s Democrats, and they are not really DemSoc at all. And wealthy right-wingers "donate" to the leading campaigns of the candidates in ALL of the parties. But those wealthy right-wingers aren't simply "donating" to those campaigns -- they are INVESTING in the politicians, and in other, better countries, those donation-investments are called bribes. Those wealthy right-wingers aren't donating to/investing in the candidates because they believe in democracy. Those wealthy right-wingers are investing in/bribing the candidates because they believe in autocracy. And it is this unregulated system of campaign-finance that allows the wealthy right-wingers to continue their corrupt system of minority-rule. And minority-rule is autocracy -- NOT democracy. It is not only the right-wing Repubs, right-wing Dems, right-wing Libertarians, and right-wing DSAs that are corrupted by wealthy right-wingers. It is the ENTIRETY of the U.S. sh!thole that is corrupted by wealthy right-wingers. ALL of the U.S. -- and 98% of the seats of political power throughout the world -- are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by the same group of right-wingers from the wealthy-class minority. And the wealthy right-wing minority absolutely DOES NOT "govern" the world via the majority-rule of democracy -- they "dictate" the world via the minority-rule of autocracy. The U.S. has ALWAYS operated this way. Sorry -- that I have to be the one to let you know the ignorance you're spewing -- not sorry.

  141. Moronic wage-slaves, like you, are already addicted to the privatized screens provided to you by the wealthy-class right-wing masters. Wage-slaves, like you, read exactly what the wealthy-class right-wing owners allow you to read, just like the wealthy-class right-wing owners decided what the chattel-slaves were allowed to read the past. You seem no better than the duped, working-class, chattel-house-slaves from the past who would report the actions of the working-class chattel-field-slaves to the wealthy-class, right-wing owners. The chattel-house-slaves didn't want to become chattel-field-slaves, so the house-slaves turned against, and sabotaged, the field-slaves. You seem like just another class-traitor. You're addicted to reading the privatized propaganda that the wealthy-class right-wing owners have pumped into your brain, like a womb that produces garbage-thoughts and slave-actions. You're addicted to the lifestyle the wealthy-class right-wingers have allowed you to have, while others suffer for you to have that lifestyle. The wealthy-class right-wing masters know that you're exactly what they want you to be. They know you're a good, little, house-slave class traitor. They know you'll do anything for a few extra crumbs from their tables. They know you'll sabotage your own working-class friends, family members, and communities if they offer you enough crumbs. But the better, more intelligent working-class people see you, and recognize you for the saboteur you are. The better, more intelligent working-class people also know that print media isn't dead, but it's suffering. And they know it's suffering is because of working-class, right-wing fools like you: You, who support wealthy-class right-wing knaves. You, who spew the propaganda produced by wealthy-class right-wing knaves. You, who say ignorant things like, "🤪GoOd HuMaNs, LiKe RaLpH, aRe OuT oF tOuCh!!!🤪" But the better, more intelligent working-class people don't think you're a good, little house-slave. The better, more intelligent working-class people know that you're the weakest link among the lowest common denominator of humans. P.S If you're an American who votes, you vote for pro-wealthy-class/anti-working-class right-wing politics, whether you comprehend it or not. Ralph Nader has been one of the FEW choices America has ever had that wasn't pro-wealthy-class/anti-working-class right-wing. America is a sh!tehole because you've allowed yourselves to be governed by TWO pro-wealthy-class/anti-working-class, right-wing political parties. Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush x2, Clinton x2, Regan, Pelosi, McConnell, McCarthy, Schumer, Reed, Ryan, etc, are/were ALL wealthy-class right-wingers. The best thing that could happen to America is the same thing that happened to Nazi Germany, the Confederate South, and every other right-wing extremist government in history. F*kc 'em.

  150. The right-wing "Parental Rights" extremists are in the same boat as the right-wing "States' Rights" extremists: They just want the right to exploit, manipulate, oppress, and enslave the most vulnerable people in society. "Parental Rights" shouldn't allow working-class parents to have the right to abdicate their parental duties to trinkettes and gadgets. Just because the sh!thole of American society is corrupted by wealthy-class right-wingers, that shouldn't give working-class parents the right to follow the parental-dicates of wealthy-class right-wingers who have used their wealth to corrupt everything. That being said, one of the last people I want to hear from, especially on such a matter as important this, is a child-brained victim/addict who is much more messed up than her child-brain is capable of comprehending. She was made a victim by the wealthy-class right-wingers who create and sell the addictive trinkets and gadgets. And she was made an addict by her own ignorant, neglectful parents. It's all well and good that she is putting her energy toward a good cause, but she has no expertise worthy of a news program, and neither do her ignorant parents or the corrupt wealthy-class right-wingers. She needs help -- just like her ignorant parents and the corrupt wealthy-class right-wingers. But she doesn't deserve a platform -- and neither do her ignorant parents or the corrupt wealthy-class right-wingers. She should be a data-point in the larger set of scientific data used to identify/solve this problem, but she shouldn't be praised and paraded around on a pedestal.

  170. @skeptick Hey, thanks for the compliment. Feel free to add and/or subtract whomever you wish from the list. It's not a copyrighted list. I don't have it published to earn a living. I'm not the arbitrator of whatever it is you're trying to arbitrate. My point was, and remains, as follows. There are remnants of Dr. King all around us, with his semblances expressed through the lives of many. The people listed have thrown themselves into the fires of the courts of public opinion, like King. Some got hauled into actual courts of law, like King. Some faced the tyranny of the multi-tiered justice system, like King. Some have been thrown into the human-cages of for-profit torture, like King. All of those systems were designed by, and for the benefit of, wealthy-class white supremacists. The people on that list have had their lives changed and some ruined by the same wealthy-class white supremacy which Dr. King fought. They have all felt the kind of heat that one doesn't feel simply sitting behind a keyboard. I'm able to admit that I am imperfect, as the people on the list are imperfect, as Dr. King was imperfect. I am not infallible, nor are the people on the list infallible, nor was Dr. King infallible. And neither are you. But I can admit, ALL of those people have been better examples than I have been able to be. Even though I do what I am able, most of what I contribute is direct to my family or to those who read the words I write from behind the comfort of my keyboard. If you want to subtract AOC's name from the list, that's your prerogative. Go for it. Her rhetoric has flattened. My rhetoric would probably follow suit if I received as many credible threats against my life as she has. I've only had my life threatened a handful of times. I've still got some conviction in my rhetoric, but that's probably due to my lack of prioritizing self-preservation. I suppose that's one thing I have in common with Dr. King. But don't fret; I won't add my name to the list. By you and Funny Farm's standards, Dr. King's family probably wouldn't be on the list either -- how dare his teenage granddaughter not speak to the extent that the state threatened her life like her grandfather. Like, of course AOC and Amy Goodman aren't Dr. King -- fucking physics and my own two eyes can explain that. Both AOC and Goodman receive threats in perpetuity; Goodman for decades and AOC for years. What do you want to do, force them? It seems to me you'd rather do that than contribute anything of actual value. I only wonder, WHO THE FUCK IS ON YOUR LIST? YOURSELF? While you suckle at the teet of the dead -- and my critique of you is in no way a critique of King -- I'm going to continue adding to the list, trying my best to identify coalitions among the living who are carrying on King's legacy of bringing people together from all walks of life. I'll add Mumia Abu Jamal, Leonard Peltier, and Ed Poindexter. I'll add Elie Mystal, Adrienne Lawrence, Jayar Jackson. I'll add Gerald Horne and Adolf Reed Jr. I'll add Jordan Chariton, Katie Halper, and Matt Taibbi. Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Reality Winner. Daniel Hale, Daniel Ellsberg, and John Kiriakou. And if some of those people stumble -- if they choose self-preservation over public glorification and vilification -- I'm still capable of seeing the good they did when they had the platform. They still deserve to be on the list for the work they did that was greater than the work I, and likely you, have contributed. You subtract whoever doesn't live up to your standards. I've admittedly contributed less than any of the people on the list. You and Animal-clown Farm-circus have contributed even less than that in this thread. If you don't have any names to add to the list, that's ok. If you can't contribute any names for others to aspire or look up to (besides King WHO 'S FUCKING DEAD NOW), that's ok, too. I understand. There are many like you. You moderate-liberals are the hindering bane King spoke about -- too ignorant to contribute, too comfortable to contribute, but plenty comfortable complaining that you didn't get any jelly with your peanut butter. If one person inspires millions as King and others did, THEY END UP DEAD. But if millions, inspired together, stand in solidarity, they can achieve the equity and equality toward which King aspired. If we're ever going to "strike fear in the establishment," the people on the list, you, Animal-shite Farm, me, and everyone else, are going to have to learn to live with a lot less than pb&j, because the establishment will burn it all down and sneak out the back door before they give up their power. They'll just go somewhere else and colonize it. It's already happening -- been happening for decades. Adult-sized wealthy-class children are the addicts responsible for the majority of the world's ills, and adult-sized working-class children are the addicts who help them to perpetuate those ills. Damn, solidarity-stifled, wannabe-rulers -- you're nearly as insufferable as the working-class, right-wing, class-traitor trolls, trying to take up the time of better people doing better work. If all you want to do is bitch and moan and complain about other people who are trying or have tried, then pretty please, with a fucking cherry on top, keep it to yourself, mind your fucking business, and STFU. Got people out here, fucking, wasting their time on your ignorant-asses, you fucking hanger-oners and dragger-downers... But, hey!!! Thanks again, for the quasi-compliment and underhanded criticism!!! 😃

  176. Police patrols in the present evolved from the slave patrols from the past. The main purposes of right-wing police patrols in the present is the same as right-wing slave patrols from the past: (1)To protect the property of white right-wingers in the wealthy&working classes. (2)To protect the profit-centers of white right-wingers in the wealthy-class. (3)To oppress, repress, & suppress the anti-racist people from the working-class. (4)To oppress, repress, and suppress the working-class people who are chattel-slaves, debt-slaves, and wage-slaves. The white-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class used their wealth to fund the slave patrols in the past. And the same wealthy, right-wing, white-supremacists use their wealth to fund police patrols in the present. The wealthy, right-wing, white-supremacists made sure that slave patrollers got paid a higher-than-average wage in the past. And the same wealthy, right-wing, white-supremacists make sure that police patrollers get paid a higher-than-average wage in the present. The wealthy right-wing white-supremacists have used their wealth to purchase the services of the most vile and violent working-class fools. Those vile and violent working-class fools are the first ones in line to become killer-cops, military-murderers, and political-propagandists -- all for the benefit of the wealthy-class minority to the detriment of the working-class majority. The institutions of patrolling, policing, military, and propaganda -- while being inherently racist and classist -- are building-blocks of the class-warfare that has been waged by the wealthy right-wingers against the working-class throughout all of recorded history. And throughout all of American history, the wealthy, right-wing, white-supremacists have used their wealth to increase their wealth by infiltrating and corrupting all of those institutions, the government, and politicians. Right-wing politics are pro-wealthy-class politics. Right-wing politics are anti-working-class politics. Right-wing politics are wealthy-minority-rule politics. Right-wing politics are working-majority-suppression politics Right-wing politics are pro-autocracy politics. Right-wing politics are anti-democracy politics. I could go on. But I'll end with this.

  180.  @benjizollman6626  That's some adorable, right-wing revisionist history you've got there. You're a very good working-class dupe, repeating the right-wing propaganda produced by your wealthy-class masters. By your ignorant logic, all humans have a claim to the land of Noah because Noah is our ancestor. And even though our later-ancestors left the land of Noah, that doesn't matter -- the land still belongs to everyone because we're all descendents of Noah. By your ignorant logic, ALL native Americans have a claim to the land of the U.S. because the land was stolen from their ancestors, just like you're saying that Jews have a claim to the land of Palestine because that land was stolen from Jews. So, by your own logic, you must believe that all European-Americans should leave the U.S. and go back to Europe, right? You must believe that European-Americans should give the U.S. land back to the indigenous-tribes, just like you believe all Palestinians should leave Palestine and give the land back to "indigenous" Jews. Right? Riiiight, sure you do. Personally, I do think that the indigenous-tribes in America should be given back control of all the land, and all European-Americans should either go back to Europe or they should assimilate to indigenous cultures. But right-wingers don't think that. Right-wing politics are the politics of violence -- they think they deserve America because they won it in a murder-contest. Well, guess what, right-winger: Jews lost their land in a murder-contest, too. So, by right-wing logic, European-Americans get to keep the U.S. land, and Palestinians get to keep Palestine. And if your retort is; "Well we'll take it back in another murder-contest," then you're just as abhorrent as our ignorant, deceased, right-wing ancestors, and I hope that more abhorrent, ignorant, living/breathing right-wingers like you hurry up and go join them. You right-wingers, with your inconsistencies and hypocrisy, would be blissfully-adorable if you weren't so abhorrently-deplorable. GTFOH, you got the wrong one, sweetie.

  205. There is nothing shocking about this. This kind of thing has been going on for the entirety of recorded history, more so since the creation of money/currency, and more so since the creation of "America." This kind of thing has been the norm throughout the history of the US -- from the funding of the "exploration" to the founding of the government entity -- beginning when wealthy-class right-wing Europeans stole the American-landscape from the rightful owners and committed genocide against them. Here's your free lesson(s) for the day: Right-wing politics are pro-wealthy-class politics. Right-wing politics are anti-working-class politics. The exploration of the American-landscape was funded by European wealthy-class right-wingers. The founding of the American government-entity was perpetrated by European wealthy-class right-wingers. BOTH the Republican & Democrat parties are bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by wealthy-class right-wingers, most of European ancestry. Slavery, manipulation, and exploitation are all inherent in the politics of the wealthy-class right-wingers, and in America. Hoarding, materialism, and addiction are all inherent in the lifestyles of wealthy-class right-wingers, and in the working-class fools who vote for wealthy-class right-wingers. The wealthy-class owners of American businesses used chattel-slave labor in the past, and working-class leftists fought against it. The wealthy-class owners of American businesses use wage-slave labor in the present, and working-class leftists are fighting against it. But there are too many working-class morons in America who vote for wealthy-class right-wing Repubs and wealthy-class right-wing Dems, rather than standing up to those wealthy-class right-wingers. These working-class voters are dumb, so they vote against their own best interests. And the wealthy-class right-wingers love stupid people, because stupid people make better slaves. That is why the wealthy-class right-wing plantation owners prevented their slaves from learning in the past, and it is the same reason why wealthy-class right-wing business owners want to defund public education in the present. The wealthy-class right-wingers don't want educated citizens -- They want stupid slaves who are incapable of identifying their own oppressors. But, working-class leftists keep fighting against the wealthy-class right-wingers. In fact, despite the sabotage committed by their own working-class mates who do the bidding of wealthy-class right-wingers, the working-class leftists have been somewhat successful. Wealthy-class right-wingers have been exporting American jobs and businesses for decades because working-class American leftists have been so successful at fighting against the chattel-slavery and wage-slavery imposed by wealthy-class right-wingers. These wealthy-class American right-wingers are doing the same thing that wealthy-class Nazi right-wingers and wealthy-class Confederate right-wingers did: FLEEING. Of course, after the wealthy-class Nazis and Confederates snuck out the door and left the working-class Germans and Southern-Americans holding the metaphorical bag, there were troubling times for the working-class Germans and Southern-Americans who couldn't afford to flee. And working-class Americans should expect the same. When the wealthy-class right-wingers finally decide to focus all of their exploitation, manipulation, and slavery on some other group of working-class people in some other country, working-class Americans should expect to come to know the true meaning of the word "struggle." I could go on. But, for anyone who would use such a hyperbolic phrase as "shocking" to explain something so regular as American-slavery, I presume I've already given such a person more information than they can comprehend in one sitting. Long story short: This video/story is just continuing the exposure of the right-wing politics that are ingrained by the wealty-class into the American sh!thole. There is literally -- not figuratively -- NOTHING shocking about this.

Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people from other countries. Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people from other states. Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people of other colors and religions. And if you don't think those kinds of human-parasites still exist, then look no further than your county Republic/Democrat political-party meeting, your local police/sheriff department, or your nearest military recruiters office. . While there are some human-parasites who want to enslave any family but their own, on the macro-level, there are some human-parasites who want to enslave their own family members, on the micro-level, under the guise of "privacy" and "parental rights." The kinds of human-parasites who advocate for private property, private companies, and private profit, are the same kind of human-parasites who advocate for "States' Rights" to enslave and abuse other humans in privacy. And the kinds of human-parasites who advocate for "States' Rights" are the same kind of people who advocate for "Parental Rights" to enslave and abuse children in private. And kinds of human-parasites who advocate for unfettered privacy are the kinds of human-parasites who want to keep their corruption and their victims private. The more adamant a person is about "privacy," the more suspicious of them I become, and the more parasitic they reveal themselves to be.

  239. ​ @suezbell1  As to the corruption of U.S. elected-officials, and the U.S. electoral-system, the speaking fees and book deals are more akin to actual income. The legalized bribery comes in the form of: (A) Private "donations" from the wealthy-class to the public-campaigns of public-candidates and public-politicians. The corruption in the U.S. electoral system stems from the private-financing of public-campaigns via private-donation-bribes from the wealthy-class. In other, better countries, private-donations by the wealthy-class are illegal in public-elections. In other, better countries, the campaigns and elections are publicly-funded via tax dollars, NOT privately-funded by wealthy-class profit dollars. That is why, in other, better countries, the campaigns and elections are less corrupted by the wealthy-class minority and more fair for the working-class majority (B) Collusion between the campaigns of public-candidates/public-politicians and the PACs/SuperPACs that are funded by the wealthy-class minority. The perpetuation of corruption in the U.S. stems from the private-financing of PACs/SuperPACs that are funded by the wealthy-class minority. In other, better countries, wealthy-class PACs and SuperPACs are illegal. In other, better countries, campaigns and elections are publicly-funded, NOT privately funded. That is another reason why the campaigns and elections in other, better countries, are less corrupted by the wealthy-class minority and more fair for the working-class majority. (C) The revolving-door that is used by the wealthy-class to more easily go back-and-forth between government-public-service and business-self-service. The wealthy-class spends their time in "government public service," trying to dismantle, sabotage, and corrupt the public-government. By making the public-government weaker, the wealthy-class corruptors make it easier for themselves to do the corrupt business of self-serving corruption when they leave the government. A weaker government means fewer laws and regulations. A weaker government means less enforcement and oversight. A weaker government, coupled with less law-enforcement and fewer regulation-oversights, means more profits for the wealthy-class corruptors. In other, better countries, the revolving-door is illegal, to keep the inevitable autocracy of wealthy-class corruptors in check. In other, better countries, the autocratic, wealthy-class minority of corruptors are kept in-check by a class-conscious, working-class majority of egalitarians (something the U.S. doesn't have). That is another reason why the campaigns and elections in other, better countries are less corrupted by the wealthy-class minority and more fair for the working-class majority. So, yes, corruption is a very real problem, not just among the wealthy-class across the U.S., but among the wealthy-class around the globe. However, as far as the corruption of the U.S. is concerned, the U.S. is now and has always been a corrupt nation: (A) The exploration of the American landscape was funded by wealthy-class corruptors. (B) The theft of that landscape and the genocide of its rightful native owners was committed by wealthy-class corruptors. (C) The founding documents of the nation-state were written by wealthy-class corruptors. The corruption of the U.S. is one of the main ingredients baked into the U.S. system by wealthy-class corruptors. And even though many of the candidates and politicians don't actually write their own books, at least the speaking fees involve them performing some form of labor But there are MANY other, better, concrete examples of evidence that prove the U.S. to be FAR more corrupt than some book deals and speaking fees.

  277.  @Seekthetruth3000  It sounds like you might have some daddy issues. Simply having a dad present in your life does not equal success as an outcome. Having a dad around does not mean that you are a better person than the people who don't. I know plenty of people, 99% of them being white, who have their dads around and are also garbage-humans. I don't believe that anyone can ever be perfect. My dad has been in my life since I was born, and I am not perfect. My dad is, in many ways, imperfect, just as you and your dad are imperfect. My dad is, in many ways, a piece of shit. In some ways, I grew up to mirror my dad's shitty ways. But I realized what a piece of shit my dad is, and I repelled his shitty ways. I struggled to become a more compassionate, more kind, and more caring man than my dad is, or ever was. I still aspire to be an even better man tomorrow than I was today. My dad thinks he is as good as he needs to be. Since no one can ever be perfect, I think we can all continuously self-improve. I want to be a better man. My dad doesn't. Judging by your narrow-sighted point of view, I would venture to make the following guess. Either your dad wasn't around -- and that is what compels the daddy-issues which are semi-apparent in your demeanor -- or your dad was around but he was also a garbage-human piece of shit, which is more apparent in your demeanor. Whether your dad was around or not, it is obvious that he failed you in various ways. It appears as though you need some sort of healing or deliverance. I pray that the Heavenly Father grants you that healing and deliverance, along with a greater attitude of sympathy, empathy, and consideration for others who are less fortunate than you. But you'll have to submit to Him first. You'll have to admit to your imperfections and weaknesses, and then ask Him for that healing and deliverance.

  280. Useless people say "We can't help these people." Evil people say, "We won't help these people." Useful & decent people tell the useless & evil people to get out of the way. A bunch of useless, evil Americans, like CD_0413 appears to be, need to get out of the way. These destitute working-class migrants are not the cause of suffering for working-class Americans. The cause of working-class suffering is right-wing political ideologies -- monarchism, feudalism, and capitalism. These are all systems of working-class oppression, repression, and suppression by the wealthy-class. Right-wing politics are pro-wealthy-class politics. Right-wing politics are anti-working-class politics. The sooner that working-class American dupes come to realize the corruption inherent in right-wing politics, the sooner something can be done about it. Right-wing politics should have been criminalized after the right-wing French monarchs were dispatched. And after the right-wing Confederates were devastated, and again after the right-wing Nazis were defeated Useless & evil working-class Americans, like CD_0413 appears to be, whine and complain about their own suffering, but they can't comprehend that the cause of their suffering is the same as the cause of the suffering of the working-class people from other countries who are trying to get to the U.S. And the cause of their suffering are wealthy right-wingers and their corrupt right-wing politics. Oh yeah: This fear-mongering bullsh!t about "wOrKiNg-cLaSs tAx DoLLaRs" is just f*kcing nonsense. The budget of the Federal Government is NOT the same as the budgets of families, communities, towns, cities, and states. The Federal Government is the sole issuer and printer of currency -- families, communities, towns, cities, and states can't print currency. The Federal Government can/could print as much money as is necessary to make sure that all human-necessities are provided for (not to mention the fact that the Federal Government could impose price-controls, maximum-wages, and taxes on wealth and inheritance). But the Federal Government doesn't do that. And why doesn't the Federal Government make sure that all human-necessities are provided? The answer is simple: because the Federal Government is controlled by wealthy right-wingers. Those wealthy right-wingers (much like many working-class right-wingers) are lazy, mentally ill addicts. They don't ever want to do any manual labor. So they manipulate the economic system to make sure that working-class people remain stupid and desperate. Because the wealthy-class knows that stupid working-class people make better slaves. And they know that desperate working-class people will murder their own friends and families just to get some crumbs from the master's table. And as far as deserving the right to vote goes: ALL people who will be affected by a given decision deserve the right to vote on that decision. NOT just taxpayers. Ffs, MANY working-class Americans don't even earn enough money to pay taxes. So if you're saying that those poor people don't deserve the right to vote, then you're just as bad as the wealthy right-wingers who commit gerrymandering and voter-suppression. Goodness-gracious; I could go on. But I'll wrap it up by saying the following. The Earth has enough resources to support the entirety of the current population, and enough decent people to produce those necessities, so that no one has to suffer in this world. But the Earth also has plenty of right-wingers -- both corrupt wealthy-class knaves and duped working-class fools. And right-wingers, with their corrupt politics, are the reasons why people suffer in this world.

  319. The working-class people who continue to volunteer their labor for the benefit of the corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class who own Boeing, are as bad as the working-class dupes who continue to volunteer their labor for the benefit of the corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class who own the MIC(1) & PIC(2) who use those ICs(3) to control the world. Soldiers, cops, and prison/jail guards are some of the most ignorant, vile, and violent working-class humans on the planet -- they are the second worst group of humans behind the corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class who employ the working-class dupes. And, the third worst group of humans are the working-class people (who aren't necessarily dupes), who continue to volunteer their labor for substandard-companies that are owned by corrupt, wealthy right-wingers, that provide substandard products and services at the behest of corrupt, wealthy right-wingers. And the excuses of the working-class dupes is pathetic: "We're just following orders, so screw everyone who didn't follow orders." "We've got families who need to eat, so screw everyone else's family." Sure, the world is a sh!tehole because of the corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class, but those corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class wouldn't have power if it weren't for the working-class dupes who volunteer to murder, maim, and cage other working-class people for the benefit of the corrupt right-wingers from the wealthy-class. And, sure, not all working-class people are purposely nefarious like their wealthy right-wing masters, but plenty of them are. Just like their corrupt right-wing masters from the wealthy-class.

For examples: (1) The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have sabotaged the gov't for centuries, from the IRS to Public Education and more. And now, those same Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class spew propagandist rhetoric, saying; "SeEeEeE? GoV't DoEsN't WoRkKk!" (2) The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have economically sabotaged ethnic-minority communities for centuries, thus causing crime in those communities. And now, those same Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class spew propagandist rhetoric, saying; "SeEeEeE? eThNic MiNoRiTiEs ArE cRiMiNaLsSsS!!!!" (3)The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have sabotaged the character of black people for centuries by referring to and treating them like animals. While, at the same time, the Yt-supremacist right-wing cops have been acting like animals, for centuries. But now, since some black right-wing cops f*kced up by acting like Yt right-wing animal-cops, it has allowed those same Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class to spew propagandist rhetoric, saying; "SeEeEeE? bLaCk pEopLe ArE aNiMaLsSsSs!!!" Yt-supremacists & right-wingers from the wealthy-class are the worst smart people in society. Yt-supremacists & right-wingers from the working-class are the worst dumb people in society. The smarter Yt-supremacist right-wingers from wealthy-class rely on the dumber Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the working-class. The wealthy-class right-wingers rely on working-class people remaining stupid, because stupid people make better slaves, and working-class right-wingers are the dumbest and best slaves in society.

  323. ​ @spockvulcan398  Not even close. "They" want stupid working-class people to THINK that "they" are scared of one ant -- but, really, "they" aren't scared. But, you might ask yourself, "why?" 1. "They" have enough money to insulate themselves from danger. Sure, the CEO-bro was wealthy, but he wasn't aware of the severity of the threat against him, so the CEO-bro did nothing to protect himself, like a moron. Now that "they" have a better perception of the threat, you can bet that "they" won't be carrying on as usual like the CEO-bro did. 2. "They" know that working-class people do not have enough money to insulate themselves and their working-class families from danger. 3. So "they" are using this opportunity to fear-monger -- "they" are trying to scare the dumbest working-class people into thinking the sky is falling, so that "they" can pretend to be the only ones who can fix it. 4. If "they" can scare enough of the ignorant working-class people, then those ignorant working-class people will vote for whomever "they" tell the ignorant working-class people to vote for. 5. If the ignorant working-class people vote for whomever "they" want, then "they" will have more sway over policies -- policies which would help to make "they" even more wealthy&powerful. I could go on. This whole fiasco is all about wealth-accumulation & power-solidification for "they". This is all basically theatrics that come straight from the script of wealthy-RWer's politics, and many, MANY working-class dupes will fall for it. Based on your comment, it would appear that you're somewhere on the road to "falling for it" because -- the truth is, your statement is false -- "THEY" are NOT scared. "THEY" want YOU to think "they" are" scared, because they know that ignorant, scared, and misled people make better sl@ ves, both on the metaphorical & proverbial plantation, and in the literal & political voting-booth. The "wrestling" on TV isn't real, and neither is the fear that "they" want you to think "they" are feeling. Your comment is incorrect -- "they" are lazy, psychopaths, sociopaths, & narcissists -- "they" fear nothing but socioeconomic-equality & manual-labor. "They" do not fear the working-class ants -- "they" have the working-class ants contained & constrained, and they have all the ant-eaters they would ever need. Don't be fooled.

  328. Abolish private property, private companies, and private profit. Privacy is where slavery, abuse, and corruption are cultivated to fester and thrive. The human-parasites who advocate for private property, in the present, are no better than the human-parasites who advocated for the term "private property" to refer to the humans they enslaved in the past. The human-parasites who advocate for private companies, in the present, are no better than the human-parasites who advocated for the term "private companies" to refer to the plantations where they enslaved said humans in the past. The human-parasites who advocate for private profits, in the present, are no better than the human-parasites who advocated for the term "private profit" to refer to the money generated by the labor of the humans they enslaved on plantations in the past. The kinds of human-parasites who advocate for private property, private companies, and private profits, in the present, are the same as the human who advocate for "States' Rights" and slavery in the past. Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people from other countries. Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people from other states. Some of these human-parasites want to enslave people of other colors and religions. And if you don't think those kinds of human-parasites still exist, then look no further than your county Republic/Democrat political-party meeting, your local police/sheriff department, or your nearest military recruiters office. . While there are some human-parasites who want to enslave any family but their own, on the macro-level, there are some human-parasites who want to enslave their own family members, on the micro-level, under the guise of "privacy" and "parental rights." The kinds of human-parasites who advocate for private property, private companies, and private profit, are the same kind of human-parasites who advocate for "States' Rights" to enslave and abuse other humans in privacy. And the kinds of human-parasites who advocate for "States' Rights" are the same kind of people who advocate for "Parental Rights" to enslave and abuse children in private. And kinds of human-parasites who advocate for unfettered privacy are the kinds of human-parasites who want to keep their corruption and their victims private. The more adamant a person is about "privacy," the more suspicious of them I become, and the more parasitic they reveal themselves to be.

  330. The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class love this sort of thing. It gives them another issue to further propagandize. For examples: (1) The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have sabotaged the gov't for centuries, from the IRS to Public Education and more. And now, those same Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class spew propagandist rhetoric, saying; "SeEeEeE? GoV't DoEsN't WoRkKk!" (2) The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have economically sabotaged ethnic-minority communities for centuries, thus causing crime in those communities. And now, those same Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class spew propagandist rhetoric, saying; "SeEeEeE? eThNic MiNoRiTiEs ArE cRiMiNaLsSsS!!!!" (3)The Yt-supremacist right-wingers from the wealthy-class & working-class have sabotaged the character of black people for centuries by referring to and treating them like animals.

  356.  @fleurosea  The right-wing-extremist Confederates&Nazis BOTH used cherry-picked verses from the Bible to justify their authoritarianism when it came to racial-slavery & religious-genocide. And the right-wing-extremist Republicans & moderate-right-wing Democrats do the same cherry-picking with the same book to justify the same authoritarianism when it comes to the sexual-slavery of women, and when it comes to the impending genocide they're trying to incite against the LGBTQ+ humans. Being from New Zealand, I'm just presuming that you know that BOTH major American political parties (and most of the minor parties) are right-wing parties. And you need to understand that your country has chosen to be allies with those American right-wing political parties -- many of the policies & decisions that your country makes are based on capitulating to the Americans, Brits, and Aussies who use the same book to justify their authoritarianism. Anyway, the world is bought, owned, bribed, and controlled by the wealthy-class/right-wingers -- it always has been, since the invention of currency, and it probably always will be. And if/when you come to comprehend that truth, then you'll stop seeing authoritarianism as "bizarre" and start seeing it as the normal playbook for lightly-complexioned heterosexual right-wingers and their corrupt, supremacist politics. Because none of this current right-wing authoritarianism is bizarre. And the future of right-wing authoritarianism won't be bizarre, either. Right-wing authoritarianism is all COMPLETELY predictable when one learns the history of right-wing authoritarianism. I hope you learn it soon. ✌🤟✊🙏

  374.  @proverbs31woman29  I believe all war is violence and murder. I am anti-violence and anti-war. Christ on Earth was anti-violence and anti-war, and I can use scriptures to prove it. Number 1: In the Bible, in the book of Matthew, Chapter 5, Verses 5, 7, and 9, Christ said: (Verse 5)Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth. (7)Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (9)Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God. You can't be pro-violence and pro-war and also be meek, merciful, and a peacemaker. To be pro-violence and pro-war is the opposite of meek, merciful, and peaceful. To be pro-violence and pro-war is not following Christ. Some of the Representatives and Senators in the Republican and Democratic parties are anti-violence and anti-war, but most of them are pro-war. Most of them, in the last 40 years, have voted for violence and war. The Republicans and Democrats who claim to be Christians should not be voting for war. Number 2: In the Book of John, Chapter 8, verses 1 through 10, some men bring an adulterous woman to Jesus. The men want to kill the woman by stoning her to death, but Jesus convinces them not to. Jesus says, (Verse 7) Whoever is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. You can't be pro-murder and be without sin. To be pro-murder is sinning. To be pro-murder isn't following Christ. No one in the Republican or Democratic parties is without sin. They have no right to cast the first stone, bullet, or bomb at other people. Those Republicans and Democrats who claim to be Christians should not be voting for murder. Number 3: Christ commanded us to love God first and to love each other second (Matthew, Chapter 22, Verses 38&39 -- Mark, Chapter 12, Verses 29-31 -- Luke, Chapter 10, Verses 25-28 -- John, Chapter 13, Verses 34&35). This would mean we should love ourselves last. JOY Jesus first. Others second. Yourself last. You can't be pro-war and pro-love at the same time. There is no love in war. If you are bringing war, then you are bringing fear. There is no fear in love (1 John, Chapter 4, Verse 18). You can't show love by bringing war and fear to others. To bring fear to others is not following Christ. If Republicans and Democrats were trying to express love like Christ, they would not be voting to bring fear to others. Number 4: Christ said to love your enemies. Christ said to pray for those who persecute you and to do good to those who hate you (Matthew Chapter 5, Verse 44 -- Luke Chapter 6, Verses 27&28). You can't be pro-war and also love your enemies. Loving your enemies does not include murdering them. To hate your enemies is not following Christ. Christian Republicans and Democrats should not be voting for hateful policies against their enemies. Number 5: Christ said not to seek vengeance. Christ said if someone slaps you on your right cheek, then let him slap your left cheek. (Matthew, Chapter 5, Verses 38-42 -- Luke, Chapter 6, Verses 27-31) Furthermore, God told Moses to tell the people not to seek vengeance. God said to love your neighbor; "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against any of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD." (Leviticus, Chapter 19, Verse 18) If some people blow up some of your buildings by flying airplanes into them, you don't go and blow up the buildings of those people. If some people commit acts of war against you, you don't commit acts of war against those people. Vengeance is for God to deliver, not for us to deliver. You can't be pro-war without being vengeful. To be pro-war is to seek vengeance. To be vengeful is not following Christ. Republicans and Democrats have both voted to deliver vengeance by way of war. Both parties are guilty of doing exactly what God and Christ said not to do. If they are Christians, they should not be doing that. Number 6: When the Pharisees brought soldiers to arrest Jesus, Simon Peter cut off the ear of one of the soldiers. Jesus told Simon Peter to put his sword away. Jesus knew that his death was part of God's plan. (John, Chapter 18, Verses 1-13) Jesus said that those who live by the sword will die by the sword. (Matthew, Chapter 26, Verse 52) Jesus could have summoned an army of angels to protect himself, but Jesus did not do that. Jesus chose not to use violence against those who came to arrest him. Jesus allowed God's plan to unfold, even though Jesus knew the Pharisees were going to kill him. (Matthew, Chapter 26, Verses 53&54) Jesus knew his time on Earth was limited. We should also understand that our time on Earth is limited. We should not seek to extend our time on Earth by ending the lives of other people. We should become content with the possibility that other people may seek to end our lives on Earth by bringing wars to us. We should be prepared to give our lives for God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit at any moment. To be unprepared is not following Christ. Christian Republicans and Democrats should be voting for measures to extend all life, but instead, they vote for policies to end the lives of others. Number 7: Jesus said, there is no greater love than to lay down your life for your friends (John Chapter 15, Verse 13). Notice Jesus says 'to lay down your life for your friends.' Jesus doesn't say to murder other people for your friends. He says to give up your life for your friends. That could include trading your life for the life of your friend. That could include offering yourself as a slave to save the life of your friend. To give up your life is following Christ. To take the life of another is not following Christ. Republicans and Democrats who are Christians should find ways to use their lives to help their friends and their enemies. Number 8: When Jesus was being murdered, He asked God to forgive the people who were murdering Him, because they didn't know what they were doing. (Luke, Chapter 23, Verse 34) Even as Christ was murdered, he had forgiveness for the murderers, As we live, we should have forgiveness for those who would murder us. To be unforgiving is not following Christ.
