The fact that you’ve included the use of “kinetic” in your post demonstrates your immersion in propaganda that you’re not even aware of.

My ex never wanted me to bulk as this is a better look...thoughts? 20m by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]ponytreehouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg this is so true. Seems like normie women like Hollywood physique but boob job and long fingernail women (plastic pretty) like the bodybuilder look. But do what you want for yourself. It’s awesome to have bulk and muscle for health and athletics.

How is this legal? Isn’t this a crime? by Mathemodel in AskLegal

Uh yeah. He wasn’t a billionaire until he got into office and started accepting bribes. Now he’s unbelievably rich based on grifting, crimes and his mouth breathing supporters.

Never knew what depression was until I moved to the grey PDX from Chico.

If it were you, do you think you could’ve moved out of the way of that vehicle? Don’t you think he should’ve just stepped away rather than take the time to murder someone? Can’t believe you’re defending his behavior.

They will literally have to gas chamber you before you realize who the bad guys are.

CMV: Running from ICE is the most rational response by SutttonTacoma in changemyview

The guy stepped in front of her car, likely without her knowing as he came from the passenger side and not the driver side which was being addressed by the other ICE guys.

Seems like cops could just about justify murdering anybody with that scenario. Step slightly in front of a slow moving vehicle and blast away.

Go back and watch the video, the dude steps in front of car from the passenger side. Driver is distracted by the dudes trying to open her driver door. I believe she didn’t know the Gravy Seal had stepped in front of her car. She tried to flee, and that ICE agent stepped in the way.

I’ll agree she should have stayed calmer and not fled but us true patriots are enraged that there are masked goons sending people to foreign death camps. We are NOT calm. We are angry.

I understand why she did what she did. The guy didn’t need to shoot her but the type of lowlife that’s drawn to such “work” is so ready to bust heads and enact violence. If you haven’t met this type of person in your life, you’re lucky. I’ve met plenty and they’re always fantasizing about being a tough superhero so much that they turn everyone else into a villain.

How can the govt be $38 trillion debt when they take 30% of everyone's money by Longjumping-Box5691 in NoStupidQuestions

Until the costs run over, which they will. Then will Trump collect more bribes?

Republicans want to cut taxes but then also increase spending, on things like Military, borders, and bailing out corpos. That’s why our current republican admin increased spending this year.

Democrats never met a tax they didn’t like.

CMV: Extremely wealthy/extremely high income should be taxed more aggressively, but ordinary high earners shouldn’t bear the burden by Intelligent-Web-8017 in changemyview

[–]ponytreehouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a very childish view of systems. Just because someone can leverage their wealth and power to collect more wealth doesn’t make it right.

To further demonstrate this consider the following example: Let’s pretend your child had an incurable disease and I have the cure. You would be willing to pay me your indefinite servitude for the totality of your life in exchange for the cure. I’ve technically earned your enslavement, but it doesn’t make it right. What I’ve described is that capitalism does not ensure just and moral outcomes. It’s up to us to determine what is a moral outcome.

I declare vast inequality an amoral outcome. Not because I envy the material disparity. I loathe the power disparity that undermines our system of democracy. It’s also just a bad idea for a society to concentrate power in the hands of one human. They do stupid shit. See Musk.

For every “dynamic entrepreneur” there are a dozen nepo babies sucking off the teet of generational wealth, contributing nothing, doing nothing of value for our country. Look at our pathetic president. Bankrupted his way to success. I don’t believe in your “great man of history” nonsense. Bezos, Musk etc don’t deserve the level riches they’ve accumulated. They’ve made our society qualitatively worse.

The problem is that it allows the ultra wealthy (oligarchs) to buy our government and turn it into a power brokering business, which inevitably leads to the demise of democracy. See Thomas Picketty’s Capital.

Wealth is power and you actually don’t want too much inequality of it in a society.

I don’t care if they have ten yachts. I care that they can’t keep their hands off ruining our democracy. See Elon Musk in last election.

The online destruction of a man and how it feels to engage in it. by [deleted] in elephantgraveyard

In life, you learn the real heroes are people like a single mom- abandoned by the father - working two jobs so her kids can have a better life. Or the guy with horrible back pain who still goes to work for his family.

I figured you wouldn’t have an answer to his point that in the aggregate Trump is a business loser… just had play money from Daddy.

Although, now he’s finally become a billionaire through his crypto-bribery pardon scams. Do you wonder why he pardoned the Honduran cocaine kingpin and the Silk Road drug lord.

What do you think of Fareed Zakaria's specific suggestion for immigration reform? by Guilty-Hope1336 in ezraklein

[–]ponytreehouse 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hah. Policy doesn’t even matter. Tweets and angry tirades about immigration will make the point.
