The wealthy can avoid paying taxes, squirrel their way out of trouble and buy influence with their fat stacks of cash, and poor people can... "live off welfare". It all evens out! :big-cool:
In the same conversation he also expressed the opinion that day-fines were the greatest injustice in the world (his dad had been caught speeding)
They push this welfare and grant abuse narrative in South Africa too even though the majority of grant recipients are children, the disabled and pensioners. People that literally cannot work.
I've had multiple chuds say to me that poor people only have babies to get more grants and that's why Bill Gates style eugenics is good actually™
Here in the USA the myth is that it's black women with multiple children when in reality iirc it's actually single white mothers who're on it. You know who works low paying fast food jobs? Black single mothers.
Yeah I added a paragraph to describe the SA situation. The right wing media will run a story about a woman having 5 kids and saying she's doing it to get more grants and spend the money on day drinking. Racism also often always involved, and Churchill and Bill Gates style eugenics, uhh sorry "family planning" implied.
The US situation reminds me of that "Trump is not hurting the right people" comment. People so heavily propagandised they'd give up their own benefits because they're told it will bring someone else down.
China one child cringe!
South Africa
eugenicsfamily planning based!?Edit: “Trump is not hurting the right people” comment.
The Trumpist-Joe-Roganist conception of the state is such that it hurts the right people.
Yeah that's the average chud mindset. Pretty much sounding like how Churchill talked about Indian people.
Yeah the state only exist for right wingers to brutalise the poor, minorities and marginalised. But surely if you fall into one of those groups, you must be able to realise that one day the state will come for you too. Don't they use a famous anti-Nazi poem to convey this in the US, the "first they came for" one.
But I guess your average chud is always a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" in their own conception of themselves, regardless of circumstances and reality.
