  1. Discussion I often have with conservatives goes something like this: 'The wealthy control our politics and our lives. We need reform.' Conservative: 'Nothing we can do about that. You seem jealous of rich people.' 'Even if I am, that's beside the point. We need change or else we'll go back to the Guilded Age.' Conservative: 'Guilded Age? What's that? You sound like a socialist.' 'Stop. Just stop. I can't talk to you anymore. You can't be reasoned with. You constantly go off topic with ad hominems. This is why we can't have nice things.' 🤦‍♂️

  2. Narcissists don't like to adnit they're wrong. Their egos are as fragile as thin glass.

  3. Like Mulder on The X-Files, they want to believe but are too intellectually lazy and emotionally immature to apply skepticism and critical thinking to their own beliefs and admit they might be wrong.

  4. If this was a Republican leaning video, the conservatives would blame the Deep State for the missing audio. 😂

  5. We should have pollution but we should have it near gated communities and luxury apartment buildings. Then we should lie to the rich and tell them we can't do anything about the pollution in their neighborhood. The pollution should follow them wherever they move.

  6. True. Neoliberals are the problem. I'm convinced that the neolibs are the ones at the root of California's problems. They need to be rooted out of the Democratic party and replaced with true socialists.

  7. Yup. I'm convinced the Church played a role in the rise of Mussolini and Hitler too. Churches love fascist dictator types.

  8. I'm not a huge Biden fan but Trump's authoritarianism and the ignorance of his supporters terrifies me. I once heard someone say a Trump dictatorship would be the dumbest, most r*dneck hillbilly dictatorship in history. I'm not ready for that. Vote Biden!

  9. To be fair, the AI or algorithm or whatever you want to call it that deletes comments doesn't understand context because it's a dumb computer. I've had the same problem.
