I personally have pity for rank and file Republican voters.

They were simply easy marks our education system intentionally failed to teach critical thinking and reason to because obedient laborers don't need that, and were then spoonfed sensationalist lies that appealed to their fears and anxieties, the easiest avenues for indoctrination, for the last half century under the guise of being "news" for the private profit of private shareholders and to turn them into useful idiot dependable votes for those same private shareholders to effectively capture their regulators and government that was once meant to protect us from them.

As just one in an ocean of examples, Fox "News" has been telling these poor sad bastards that "man made climate change is a hoax for scientists to sell books!"

The only public assistance recipient that, by rhetoric, deserves to be called a welfare queen.

When I buy a game, I want a game.

Not yet another platform to bleed my wallet dry.

Hey now that's not fair.

We have a globally recognized national pastime that defines who we are as a people really well.

We lead the developed world in mass shootings.

No one lets their kids shoot their other kids as they gawk and do nothing (except make ad revenue off the coverage) like us Americans. pew pew pew Murica pew pew. 🇺🇸

Coldest, shortest summer of the rest of our lives.

Hope all the Pop Figures were worth it.

I mean, I'd agree with you, but the humans that actually aren't a threat to the planet, that lived in homeostasis with the Earth, barely exist anymore, the humans with flags saw to that.

For the record yes, the developed world's quality of life should be much, much, much, lower, and the very concept of economic growth/metastasis should be a widely accepted slur at this point, as it's killing us.

Part of not being a threat to Earth is also not building and maintaining, let alone growing a massive military industrial complex, which means being destroyed by humans that want your shit and don't care about the future doing it, so it's a paradox.

Market capitalism is destroying us, our homes, and literally our only habitat.

Their guard gates are mostly decorative. We could save our species and the habitability of the planet.

Instead some think we can petition the government they've fully owned for half a century to mitigate the harm they bought our government to commit with abandon, lol.

 

Did I say mandatory? I meant optional! You're "free" to die in a cardboard box under a freeway as a market capitalist scarecrow warning to the other ants so they keep showing up to make us more!

Sometimes, you just need to wipe the drawing board clean and start over. 🤷👋 🔥

 

Would I hurt other people in some strange hypothetical to literally save my family's life from certain death? Maybe, and I'd be guilt ridden about it for the rest of my life.

Would I hurt people to make more money? Of course not, and that's not a defensible reason to hurt others... at all, and it makes you deeply broken at your core, especially as habit.

Really the only thing I can think of as a more horrifying reason to be cruel to others than "for money herp derp" would be "because its fun!"

Hurting others for profit in the name of business shouldn't be a defense, it should be considered an admission of guilt and come with consequences.
