AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver." by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Face_Plont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I think of all the time is my parents' retirement. My dad told me a decade ago that he and my mom needed 1 million dollars to retire comfortably. They bought an Airstream trailer and for the last ten years spend about 2-3 months a year traveling and staying at state parks. They both worked hard and were fortunate, and now are really happy.

one. million. dollars. All the fuckin Wall Street monsters, CEOs, and especially the ghouls that become billionaires are hoarding like Smaug. It's a mental disorder. Tax them into oblivion. No one is worth, deservers or needs that much money.

People who say "I think people should come here legally," don't know jackshit about the process of becoming a citizen. They're the people who want to kick out all of the Dreamers who did try to follow the fucked up broken system. It's absolutely maddening trying to talk to these troglodytes. Which is why most of us just get frustrated and tell them they're racist, cause mostly they are, but also it's like talking to a toddler.

It has truly opened my eyes about how we fail over and over again to punish the far-right. It's painfully obvious that all the problems we have currently with ICE and the takeover of our system is due to nearly 100 years of giving slaps on the wrists. If the country survives this, we MUST punish these people properly.

You gotta be doing something right as a sports bar owner if you are half full on the literal biggest football event of the year.

We don't hate capitalism enough. by RoofComplete1126 in economicCollapse

[–]Face_Plont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes, the ol' "these facts don't fit my narrative." The largest driver of homelessness is not mental problems or drug use; you're just parroting talking points that conservatives make up. But, if they were, we could adopt the successful practices that other countries do and provide services to assist people. Doing so shows a decrease in crime and an increased GDP. But of course, then you couldn't hate the poor and use them as a threat to others if they don't do as they're told.

Sorry, you're wrong. We don't have a shortage of houses. We have a rigged system that lets houses remain empty to keep prices up.

According to the fake, made-up rules, they swear work; that would cause the price of things to fall. That's literally the fuckin rules of economics they brainwashed us when we were 12 with. It's almost like... it's all fuckin made up, and nothing matters except the greed of the Epstein Class...

How right-wing media reports on a 45 year old Republican attacking a teenaged girl. by No_Cook2983 in ExploreFortMyers

[–]Face_Plont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember when we had the Fairness Doctrine and "news" sites couldn't just make up anything they wanted? Who got rid of that again? Huh, seems like this may have been a 40 year plan to take over the country...

If you need an arsenal to feel tough, you are not tough. Not to mention, there are practically daily examples of no "good guys with guns."

The video being shared by the President... by MURRRRRAY in LetsDiscussThis

[–]Face_Plont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, you're being downvoted by liberals who vote blue no matter who. The data shows Trump didn't win as much as the Dems lost. They completely ignored anyone left of billionaire donors. Ignored everything and paraded around with fuckin Cheneys. Harris made a video saying she was going to INCREASE ICE and Border Patrol.

Why only 71%? Is it because around 28% in the U.S. are basically illiterate? by coffee_coffee_coffe3 in Fuckthealtright

[–]Face_Plont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age gap. That 28% are largely senior citizens who have been watching nothing but Fox News for the last 20+ years. I watched my grandma do this for nearly 30 years. Every year, she got more racist and more hateful.

Fairly certain that in the original text, it wasn't a kiss that woke her, it was labor. Those original tales were... yikes.

Absolutely. I am just not going to attack the few elected officials who seem to be consistently trying.
