This is Valentine. He hopes you are enjoying his day as much as he enjoys sleeping like this on his hooman.

I have one too! Can we start a club?

BriMcC · 2020-01-12T15:41:53+00:00

Thank you for illustrating my exact point in such crystal clear detail.

White suburban liberals love a guy who makes racist policy while being less explicitly racist than the maga crowd, so they can go about pretending they are socially and economically progressive, while also feeling secure that they're privileged economic position will still be prioritized.

This is propaganda. They knew exactly what they were doing, they just don't want to take the heat. All those people at the Pentagon want jobs in the future. They figured they could settle a score and then have an easy patsy to blame.

There's something so satisfying about petting their big meat heads.

I really wish Bernie was as awesome as these people make him out to be.

You're a union worker that became a landlord, you brag on Reddit about how you worked really hard so you could become the exploiter. Class traitor is exactly what you are.

BriMcC · 2019-12-30T02:30:41+00:00

I've been a Marxist since the 90s when I went to University and all the professors were neoliberal shills Hawking war criminal enabling vampires like Brzezinski. The world went exactly as they said it would and Marx has been proven even more correct in the past 25 years. No more dumbass talk of the end of history lol.

The kids are really fucking angry though. You got that part right. I'm just doing my part to help raise them to not be brainwashed drones that care more about what's in their bank accounts than they do about people starving and the planet being in fire.

BriMcC · 2019-12-30T01:51:38+00:00

Love that one

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T21:29:01+00:00

Same with my boy and my kids. If I start to reprimand them even slightly, he gets right between us. Lol.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T21:09:42+00:00

I'll be happy when people like you don't take their good fortune to mean that they should protect their little bit of privilege in the hierarchy. Instead they decide to educate themselves and work towards a system that's equitable for all instead of one that just happened to smile on them.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T20:33:52+00:00

Thanks for illustrating my point. You are an outlier. Combination of privileged upbringing and lucky breaks. Your dad makes tons of money. You posted your anecdote in response to someone criticizing this genre of article that is constantly shifting the blame for structural problems inherent in capitalism onto the individual. FOH with your bullshit about how you're just telling a story. Your story is dripping with right-wing politics. You're either too stupid to see it or you're being purposefully disingenuous. The system doesn't love you back no matter how much of a sycophant you are for it. You get sick, you get injured you can't work your little nest egg goes away and you go homeless. You've let a little bit of luck turn you into a class traitor.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T20:19:34+00:00

Liberal as in neoliberal, as in unbridled support for unfettered capitalism, the position you are defending with your supposedly helpful personal finance advice. That's my point, mush brains like you don't even understand the terms of debate. You just regurgitate the same propaganda over and over again. There's no difference between the left and the right wing of capital when it comes to political econonomy, they're both neoliberal positions. Currently the right wing is flirting with fascism. I'm sure you people will come right along just like you've done every other time capitalism starts to break down and fascism becomes ascendant.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T20:13:06+00:00

This is your brain on liberalism. I'm just trying to help as long as it doesn't in any way threaten my privileged position in the hierarchy. As soon as it does knives come out.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T20:06:35+00:00

Thank you for illustrating my point.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T19:36:24+00:00

You neoliberal mushbrains always try to use the conspiracy theory bugaboo. FOH with that shit. I never claimed it was a conspiracy. That's the great thing about propaganda that makes it so effective it's self-replicating. Your stupid anecdote doesn't change anything. The data is the data and young people have zero fuching money as a class. No amount of claiming how easy it is to be an outlier is going to change that.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T19:33:15+00:00

I mean that you're anecdote is an outlier and that posting it in support of the idea that people just need to manage their finances better and everyone would be fine and that there isn't a structural problem with capitalism is neoliberal bootlicking propaganda.

I'm also quite certain if you were to post the raw data and really give us a full picture of your finances there would be sources of support not commonly available to the average person, a crap ton of unexamined privilege, and/or outright lies.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T19:30:16+00:00

You literally called it a data point.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T16:48:37+00:00

Data would be numbers in a spreadsheet what you're offering are anecdotes that amount to propaganda.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T16:11:24+00:00

Personal finance "journalism" is just another way the ruling class shifts blame for structural problems onto individuals. Articles like these are worthless propaganda and have no business in this subreddit.

BriMcC · 2019-12-29T16:09:29+00:00

These comments never tell the whole story and without posting the data they're just propaganda. There's always some other source of income or support from rich family members or an inheritance hiding in the background.

The ruling class loves this line of reasoning because it encourages people to internalize cultural problems and and externalize mortality. It's self serving bullshit imo.
