    What right-wingers won't mention in their peddling of "gommunism no food xD" narrative is that many AES states are under sanction from the USA which would explain the people going hungry. There's no excuse for people going hungry under capitalism. There is, you haven't worked "hard enough" but we all know that's bullshit.

    I do wonder what hungry people in the USA are going to think when they media tells them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

      Say "BUT THE COMMIE CORPORATIONS WON'T LET ME" and vote for a fascist.

      Americans are housebroken weaklings who deserve everything bad that happens to them. They are functionally, morally, and intellectually incapable of actually evaluating the world around them in any way besides culture war shit

        I feel really conflicted about agreeing with this so I'm just gonna mash the upbear on and off rapidly a dozen times and whatever happens, happens.

          Take the misanthropy pill. Then the news gets funny as you guffaw at the blanks getting their richly deserved fates instead of being sad about some chuds getting covid or whatever

      It will tell them that a particular scapegoat is involved so they can be fascists
