actual helpful policies that would improve people's lives
"B R I B E S"
:michael-laugh: :sadness-abysmal:
only in western democracy is the government doing what lots of people want in return for support a bribe
you're supposed to vote for a party because man on TV say the good words and no other reason
:yes:
seriously it’s time to initiate some concept of jubilee years when all debts are forgiven
i mean of course. just wondering if somehow religious libs could get onboard with the some sort of loan forgiveness from that angle. i know, i know. that’s electoral bullshit. :deeper-sadness:
It's the Christian way. Like it's literally required by the bible. Every seven years.
This is my favorite "slippery slope" argument because every rich fuck knows that the end of the slope is them swinging from a gibbet.
Funnily enough I originally said "end of the slop" before I caught it doing a quick re-read. Ending the slop aka the treats is exactly what is going to end up with some real "Thermidorian" results for these fucking morons.
Hey, its that guy the libs were drooling over for standing up to Trump... oh he's a bit a scumbag.
You mean to tell me that Mitt Romney, the man best described as an opportunist sack of shit, was using Trump as an easy opportunity to win lib brownie points?
I AM SHOCKED
Prediction. Biden erases student debt. DeVos family sues. Dems get clobbered in November anyway. Trump wins again, renominates DeVos for SecEd. DeVos reinstates student loans. Revolution happens.
Historians will look back on the second American revolution and laugh because the first one was fought over tea and the second one over student loans.
Despiration, the war was supposed to boost his popularity, but it's still in the shitter.
He'll probably only threaten to do it if he gets re-elected then just not do it
Thinking "what could go wrong for you, Mitt, or for America?" and I just realized something unsettling.
Theory 1: The model of the Veil of Ignorance, by John Rawls, where the stability or desirability of a society is assessed by the averaged out probability of what social stratum you're born into at random.
Theory 2: Feudalism was not a system imposed and enforced from the top down. Nobles' loyalty to the king was not an eager subservience, but rather a loyalty to the system that they were relatively quite fortunate within. Likewise the knights, who were easily in the most affluent fourth of society. The First and Second Estates could never hope to hold their position on their own; they remained there not by their own action as a small minority, but by the action of a sizable minority who were granted the privilege of being slightly wealthier than average.
Theory 3: Capitalism emerged from feudalism retaining most of the overall structure of the latter, just with more social mobility and more parts that were up for exchange. The moneyed classes today are the landed classes of centuries past; executives and directors of large corporations sit atop the modern version of fiefdoms.
Postulate: There is a class of knights today, who know they have no chance of becoming kings or lords (large capitalists). They do not delude themselves about upward mobility, they see few people above them and many people below them, and are content to maintain this state of affairs. What's more, they have some conception of the Veil of Ignorance, and do not feel compelled by it; in fact they feel the opposite, that the best chance in life is to hog as many of the scraps as they can.
So they oppose anything that makes life better for the poor, and anything that makes the rich pay more. Not because they see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionnaires, but because they are fiercely loyal to an outcome of being slightly richer than average, and having leverage over a majority. For this relative status, they will kill and steal and hold ransom and block any sort of progress, rather than support outcomes that are materially in their best interests but socially would leave them on the same level as everyone else. They are all demonstrably bad people underneath.
And this is what the majority of Mitt Romney's base is like.
Wish Americans actually read Smith instead of pretending they did but actually just snorting Econ 101 ideology
Funny how Romney is held up as a moderate Republican when he's even more conservative than his father was lol. At least his father made efforts for housing to be more affordable and available to the poor.
>Finance is a key industry sector in Massachusetts, accounting for 5.3% of employment.
Kulak state should be liquidated, get a real job parasite
Reading those replies lol
Republicans/moderates are truly a different level of evil
