its always funny when the ghouls who write these things slip the mask a bit.
these arent necessarily people suffering from mental illness or have substance abuse problems
Like thats not ok either you twisted fuckhead. Maybe the fact that you're pointing that out warrants some investigation into that?
Similar energy to the "these arent uncivilized brown people, these are relative modern white european people" shit going around at the beginning of the ukraine shit
Its worse than that because this quote is attributed to someone who is supposed to be helping them.
oh shit, good reading comprehension on my part lol
sad how normalized that shit is :adam-johnson-shining:
these arent necessarily people suffering from mental illness
:what-the-hell:, these people are eugenicists that think over-complicating the process will hide it.
:swole-doge:: "Man, these homeless people are everywhere, maybe we should rethink housing as a speculative asset and end homelessness. Have I ever told you about Red Vien-"
:porky-scared-flipped:: "Whoa now, it's okay! They have health problems so let's keep them there even though I complain that they're an eyesore. Seeing them homeless is the only way I can feel good about myself!"
The United States is one of the worst countries to have ever existed, only mega-shitholes like Sparta strikes me as being unequivocally worse.
Dude, same.
I feel like I'm trapped in a shithole full of sin but they justify it all because "well you know, gay people bad!" as if Jesus wouldn't be willing to look past such differences, the guy that helped a prostitute and did not hate her.
Notably, Jesus never said a damn thing about the gays. All that shit is Paul's fault, and even Paul's stuff has been stretched wildly out of context and probably originally meant something more along the lines of "Stop fucking children!"
C'mon pope francis make up for being the world's most prolific pedophilia enabler and nuke this fucking country, do it already
You know what, I'm just gonna go over his head and make this appeal straight to God
Protestant? Check
Contempt for people who do good works? Check
Obsessed with temporal power and domination over the nations of the world? Check
The only thing worse was the Confederacy, a group of Americans that wanted to leave because America wasnt bad enough
Rome was the US of the day, but with even less self-awareness.
Having open abandoned mineshafts is a problem. We should fill those things up... With the rich, of course.
So long as the treats keeps flowing and the superstructure of the bourgeois is held up by the base of boaters and PMC gatekeepers nothing will fundamentally change, for the better, it will get fundamentally worse.
Maybe once white boomers start living on the streets they'll care about the world they helped create and maintain?
Nah, probably not.
shit i probably wouldnt have even noticed this if you didnt point it out. yeah i actually hate that now
Hmmm....seems like there are too many people and not enough housing. Maybe we should lift some zoning laws and build mo-
Gets driven out of town by an angry coalition of wine mom libs and Patrick Bateman wannabes for discussing ruining their property values
Or the housing developer vultures who only want to build “luxury” apartments that have a 4x income requirement despite the place being a shitty complex from the 80s that is “renovated” every 5 years when a new management company buys it and repaints the sidewalk
I swear, way too many boomers are just plain suckers for a "businessman in a suit" no matter how sleazy, they would have been the top customers for snake oil back in the day. Hell, they can tell them to their faces that they just suckered them with a scam and boomers would be fine with it because "private sector is good. He should be rewarded for his cunning genius in tricking me!" They claim the private sector is perfection but seem to DETEST integrity.
Do you think I can convince boomers to start voting for fighting climate change if I gained a bit of weight, bought a kinda ill fitting navy suit from Ralph Lauren and a red tie, had an American flag pin on the suit, and then started peddling it like a businessman?
They love spite. They love to see a disgusting asshole in a suit dunk on the beautiful, young, happy.

Republican elites don’t set off the spite glands in the same way, and it’s not only because of a sinister right-wing propaganda machine. Take a look at a photo of the late billionaire Sam Walton, a dessicated Calvinist in a baseball cap and business suit, and you’ll see why. If Republican billionaires enjoy their wealth, they sure as hell hide it well. As far as one can tell, Republican billionaires genuinely like working 18-hour days in offices, and attending dreary charity dinners. More importantly, it’s hard for us to imagine that these stuffy gray-haired plutocrats have interesting sex lives—nothing inspires murderous envy more than someone else’s great sex life, which is why a celebrity is so much more viscerally hateful than the richest, meanest plutocrat. These right-wing billionaires’ idea of having fun is a day on the golf green (a game as slow and frustrating as a day in the office) or attending conferences with other sleazy, cheerless Calvinist billionaires. If that’s what all their wealth got them, let ’em have it–so says the spite bloc. This explains why the Republican elite–the only true and all-powerful elite in America today–is not considered an “elitist” class in the spleens of the white male have-nots. Elitism as defined today is a synonym for “happy,” not “rich” or “powerful.” Happiness is the scarcest resource of all, not money. And the happy supply has been cornered by the beautiful, famous and wealthy coastal elite, the ones who never age, and who are just so damned concerned for the have-nots’ well-being.
This is why I'm convinced the Dems will do decent in the midterms, maybe even make gains - Biden's approval is currently deeply under water with 18-34 year olds, and slightly net positive with over 70s. That's a good sign - who votes? Who votes for Republicans?
Damn, I always thought it was the fascists and other hogs that were the happy ones.
Look at /pol/: the smugness, the snobbery oozes out of every letter, they are some of the happiest people I can think of. They know they have it all and with a lack of suffering in their lives, they have seen their more modest peers as punching bags.
/pol/ posters are a very small minority, just prevalent online. Though there are a disturbing amount of construction workers with punisher skull hoodies or stickers on their truck.
No one on /pol/ is happy, as stated, fascist supporters are unhappy, unsatisfied, losers. They're pissed because they don't have the same life satisfaction others do, their smugness comes from spiting those others.
Being smug isn't the same as being happy, and being scared and angry all the time is the core of fascism.
"Retire on to the streets" is certainly one way to say "Die in a gutter"
