I've known a number of self labeled "liberals" that basically think being progressive means simply not being openly racist and restraining from yelling slurs on a street corner.

Surprise surprise it turns out they were just closet bigots who were aware what crowds they could get away with expressing their horrid views with and in the recent years figured street corners are now perfectly up for grabs.

The best marks are the overconfident ones who think they will be able to out scam the scammers. They are the ones who will gladly dump their life savings into shitty ape pngs thinking they will be the one to make it big.

That definitely still demonstrates a ride or die mentality. If one sleaseball can sway the room in such a way where than budging against it would lead to ridicule, that still shows the sort of internal pressure there is to tow the party line no matter what

I think they still got their white hoods collecting dust in the closet

If a "good boss" is being an actual good boss, the worst they should have to expect from the union is having the occasional friendly meeting with them to discuss any minor workplace concerns and contract negotiations.

The fact many "good bosses" immediately start sprewing hell and brimstone at the mention of a union hints maybe they ain't as good and benevolent as they claim to be.

Anytime a big corp gets caught fucking with poor people worse they get is a slap on the wrist fine maybe 10 of what they profited and maybe 1-2 years max in prison time for a few fall guys.

Wonder how chewed this dude is about to be.

That was basically how the Nazis started out. A bunch of businesses owners were worried about the rise of leftist politics in Germany so they saw the Nazis as a way of pulling populist support away from the left. Also the Nazi SA was used to break up unions and left wing party meetings to further disrupt leftist influence.

They wanted to push the message "We are the good capitalists, it's those other bad capitalists that are the issue."

I love you can tell by their faces, "his boys" look so tired and disinterested in his shit lol

"Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat And the obese milkin' welfare"

Misremembered the line but regardless, still sure sounds like he's blaming them.

"Also, it's hilarious how he can touch on 20 issues that every one of us agree with, but the left hyper-focuses on one line they don't like, because he just looks like a hillbilly trump supporter to y'all."

That's sorta the problem of right wing populism dude. Yeah, many of the issues pointed out in the song are legitimate and need to be addressed but how he tacks on "welfare queens" is trying to shift the blame onto people have nothing to do with your own hardships. That family getting $400 a month in food stamps is not the reason everything sucks right now.

Kenneth Copeland is straight up one of the creepiest persons alive. He has that look and mannerisms like he's actively deciding what part of your body best matches his evening cabernet he has as he waits for his skin suit to be dry cleaned.

Surely centrist neolibs and the far right would never collaborate to prevent leftist candidates from being able to have a chance at getting elected... That never has happened before /s

Government databases getting misused for personal motives is actually pretty common.

AP did a report on this back in 2016 and while public records on this are fairly limited, they still found about 300 cases of database abuse from 2013 through 2015.

"Those insidious trans trying to trick people into sleeping with them! They just don't have any respect for people's body autonomy.

Now anyways, time for me to drug random women without their consent."

I was curious and immediately got disappointed. This is his current pinned tweet he posted like a week ago:

"Success is mostly imitation. We study successful people and then try to imitate what worked.

Imagine being Black, learning the history of slavery and racism, and being asked to imitate your oppressors to succeed. That's the problem with ESG, CRT, DEI.

They create a "Don't imitate" glass ceiling. A dirty truth is that White people hate imitating White people too. I mean, yes, I do some air guitar, but I hate myself for it."

He's saying CRT is telling black people to go around enslaving white people or that "talking about racism is the real racism" type bs? I can't really tell the heck the guy is trying to say.

The GOP gladly let their party turn into a cult and very few cults manage to live on after its leader is dead/no longer viable.

The Lowes near me you can rent a whole truck for like $20 + gas

People are so unaware how common politically motivated murder was in the late 19th/early 20th century in the US. Our country is rittled with shallow graves belonging to labor and civil rights activists. Wikipedia for example has a list documenting anti-labor murders totaling just over 1100 that we know of. Much of that violence was especially targeted towards black labor organizers.

Thousands might be being murdered a day in death camps but at least the shareholders are happy.
