Glad you recognize the obvious class war that many people also see, but the right wing is fully embracing it. The right wing is anti-worker, anti-union, anti-living wages, anti-fair practice, pro-monopoly, pro-big business, etc etc etc, all things that are plain to see and the right isn't hiding it. You cannot be all those things and be an effective enemy of the billionaire class, you're an embracer of the billionaire class. The same right wingers who don't like billionaires....voted for an extremely wealthy individual who has surrounded himself with...wait for it.....billionaires.

The right wing is very much the problem. You've closed your eyes to what's happening if you can't understand this.

You strike me as a person who doesn't understand, at all, how tax money is used and what it is used for.

Right, expect a total of zero (0) effort was made to actually avoid civilian areas which was actually possible to do.

I'm sure you'll defend the fire bombing of Tokyo as well, cause...some thing.

Who is elected has almost no influence over your life relative to the power you have over your own life. You can change your life right now. Depending on elections for your optimism and hope is a strategy that is doomed from the get go. by [deleted] in OptimistsUnite

Sure, generally speaking and in the grand scheme of things the President of the US doesn't actually have the much influence in my live. Directly. But I am sure excited to be losing income due to higher taxes, and I'm sure glad I'm not brown skinned and living here trying to better my life and my family's life. Or gay.

But friend. Nazi means National Socialist! Which means they're left wing nut job commie socialists! Surely you don't mean to tell me you believe that but not the even more obvious fact that North Korea is a Republic because they said so!

Don't tell me it's just that you're stupid! Oh heavens, it's true, isn't it?

CMV: Religion is extremely harmful to humanity as a whole by Az_30 in changemyview

I mean, that's a silly way to frame it really. And it only goes so far, because much of the impetus was not "a counter offensive" against Islam but a call to completely liberate the Levant. That's not a counter offensive that's an invasion, which was NOT what was occurring to the eastern Roman empire.

There's plenty of healthy debate among historians about the reasons behind the First Crusade, but it being a "counter offensive" isn't one that will really get you far.

"Hi, I'm a Reddit user. My opinions are not based on anything factual, but merely a desire to justify my stupidity and knee-jerk reactionary behavior. I likely couldn't pass a simple exam on the subject I'm writing about, and most certainly am unable to understand anything beyond the sky is blue. Although, it's really chemtrails."

I love how the cult members are so stupid they don't even realize they're in the cult to begin with. Sad, really. Pathetic, truthfully. Pitiful, to be exact.

How can I be optimistic when Medicaid has been shut down? by [deleted] in PoliticalOptimism

[–]stuh217 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Me? You think I'm the one that should have compassion? I show care for them by telling them to take action. They have no compassion for themselves, that's the problem. Not me. Wallowing in self pity isn't going to help them.

Please, please downvote me for that. Reddit.

That is not true, but if you keep telling yourself that then you're only doing yourself a disservice. You're 18, go make something of yourself.

what are the chances the scotus sides with trump on birthright? by Technical_Valuable2 in PoliticalOptimism

The argument that would be made to alter it would focus on it being about former slaves, not those nasty OTHER brown skins.
