Literally getting downvoted and being called scum in r/politics because I had the crazy take that everyone's life is equally valuable. I'm being bombarded by people telling me that having a master's degree and driving a prius makes someone a better person. These motherfuckers scare me.

Yeah but I'm naive and think even they could be redeemed. Maybe after being punched once or twice.
this is the greatest comment of all time, possibly ever
We don’t have the time resources or ability to fix nazis right now, and won’t until after the workers seize power. Maybe we can then, but until then.....
If you want. I really don't think the state should be executing anyone. But then again, I'm kinda glad timothy mcveigh is gone.
Yeah, it's fucking scary. Yet the powerful always can snuff anyone, sometimes not legally but still.
The shittiness and bigotry of the liberals was honestly the single biggest factor in driving me left (though I was obviously primed by other shit). After 2016 when they were all fuming over Hillary's deserved loss and shitting on Bernie, the classism really came out. It was pretty easy to find angry comments all over eddit and twitter blaming the dumb, inferior poors for voting for Bernie, how his "simple ideas appealed to the simple-minded" (because you get points for complexity, and their effectiveness in other countries isn't part of the appeal at all).
This was back when these assholes were acting like m4a and shit like that were basically incompatible with the laws of physics and could never exist in reality. Now they're forced to acknowledge that it works elsewhere but claim it just can't ever be in the US, and they still act like they know better than everybody despite having to have basic facts corrected over the course of several years.
They really are nefarious fuckers in the way that they diffuse or misdirect popular sentiments into electoral schemes that never improve people's material conditions. The way they trick you into thinking you're really on the same side, and don't just have occasional aesthetic overlap.
Exactly this. Someone just told me I wasn't arguing in good faith because I made a simple statement that everyone's life is equally valuable. I they wanted a paragraph of bullshit text but it really is that simple and I didn't think that was a very controversial claim on my part.
Is it possible they misunderstood your point and thought you were going "all lives matter" on them? I myself am kind of on a hair trigger on this shit, especially after George Floyd.
Edit: lol I went and read your interaction with the lib. No misunderstanding there. Libs suck.
Good run down of it. They are very classist.
I grew up in the deep south and liberals attitude towards people who look and sound like me is extremely hostile cause I guess we sound like Forrest Gump or some other southern stereotype they love to make fun of. You've heard all the stupid jokes about "red states" and how we must ALL vote Republican otherwise, how come the state is so deep red? Libs think anyone who lives down here is a string of southern stereotypes and that we must all sound like Forrest Gump and be bigots. Libs supposedly care so much about POC and love to pretend that they care about black people and yet in the south, you have some of the highest populations of POC and they don't care about them at all. Libs also love gentrification. I see them argue in favor of it cause it "gets rid of the criminals and thugs", yet they want to pretend they care about minorities while destroying their neighborhoods.
The hostility from libs is why I would never take them seriously and still don't. They just tell you "well, move to a big city!" or "move to a blue state!" yeah OK, that's what i have to do to get their respect - go thousands of dollars in debt to move to some shithole city run by Dems where the prices of commodities is several times more expensive than it is in the rural small towns, or move to a wonderful "blue state" cause you know that bad stuff never happens there. None of this is taking into account the inner city which is poor there.
They don't give a fuck about poor people. Just look at liberal run big cities and blue states. California has the most corrupt police department in the country with the LAPD and libs are in full support of that. California is supposed to be some blue, liberal utopia yet more and more, people can't afford to live there cause of the taxes and the police in LA have a legacy of corruption at this point.
One other thing that really grinds my gears with libs. If you sit down and explain to them how fucked the deep south is cause the GOP have gerrymandered it for years and have practically taken it over, or the fact that the Democrats in those states ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SUCK and put up ZERO resistance to the GOP, their excuse is "well vote better Democrats then!" Yeah gee thanks, you don't think we've tried that over the past three decades? The Democrats often don't even run house candidate districts in those states outside of their precious big cities. I can tell you right now, where I live, the house district is a race between 2 Republicans as it has been every year since I moved here.
Everytime someone posts about McConnell in r/politics it the same thing, jokes about kentuckians being stupid and hillbillies. It's no wonder working class people stopped voting Democrat. It gets old being talked down to and treated like and imbecile.
The Democrats also abandoned the working people in the south.
My family had a legacy in seafood work going from my father, to my grandparents, even great grandparents. They either worked in seafood with fleets, or they were active in the construction of the boats. My grandparents could tell you, cause they lived it, how decades ago they were lifelong Democrats and there used to be a strong presence of unions and workers rights with the seafood factories and shipyards. My grandparents go all the way back to the days of JFK and they quit voting all together come the 2000s. It had nothing to do with how black Obama was, they had already been screwed by Clinton in the 90s and they were smart enough to see right through Obama.
The Democrats began ignoring them in the 1980s and come the Clinton era, they absolutely betrayed and later abandoned these workers. What little bit of unions they had left after the Reagan years, it was all crushed and destroyed during Clinton's presidency.
There's a pretty good book about Dems abandoning the working class of the south called 'What's Wrong in Kansas?'. That book goes through how the Dems just started abandoning the southern states and leaving them unchallenged for the GOP.
For all my life down here, the Dems have never gave a shit about the common person. They only ever sit back in their strongholds of the big cities and do campaigns there. They don't run house district candidates outside the big cities and when it comes to governor and senate, they barely put any effort into it at all. The excuse is always about how stupid and backwards the people supposedly are, but the GOP wins landslides here cause it's mostly old boomers and middle class households voting for them. The working class largely don't vote cause there isn't a candidate that represents their interests.
But your point is clear; why the fuck would any of us down here want to vote Democrat when we get no respect from them at all? Hillary didn't even step foot in any southern states except Florida, and she only went there after the Pulse night club shooting. She was tied with Trump in fucking Georgia of all places in the summer of 2016 and never stepped foot there. Liberals think that Dem politicians are entitled to our votes, and they absolutely are not. The Democratic party has made it clear how much they hate poor people in the south.
There was a shit ton of racism after Hillary lost too, with libs saying that the BLM movement and transgender people drove right wing voters away from the democratic party to vote for Trump, effectively blaming minorities for the liberals own failures.
They don't need to fight, just look the other way while all the messy business is done. And what do you know, that's exactly what they've been doing all along.
Libs will bend the knee to whoever has power. We just need to parody the right.
there's revolutions all the time. this is the closest we've been to a revolution in 50 years, and once kamala harris as president doesn't stop the cops from shooting black people we'll be even closer.
i don't think revolutions are done by any kind of majority tbh, most people just go along with whatever is happening
The white liberal is the worst enemy to America
Wtf, I love the white liberal now?!
Liberals are one $8 bad latte from a barista of color from being fascists
Here's the post. In the second comment about prius owning liberals with masters degrees. I'm the one with all the downvotes. https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/jckcin/a_usps_worker_suspected_of_throwing_away_bags/g93wo08/?context=3
Having proof of about 8 years of specialized study would make it easier to emigrate somewhere else, so yeah, I guess from a nation's stand point, a masters does make you a better person.
Holy fuck these people are psychos
I don't know why I do this to myself. I hope that maybe someone will read it and it might push them towards a more socialist mindset.
liberals approaching the point - american state and capital pull brain drain strats on other countries all the time, and then when PhDs, Engineers, doctors, lawyers, nurses and all sorts of other professional faculties get here, oop no, drive a cab, immigrant scum.
My favorite is this one:
I saw a Prius with a Trump sticker. I thought, how dare they take on our symbol. It made me want to get a big truck and put a Clinton sticker on it.
:LIB:
Completely unironic. Imagine what it must be live to live in that person's brain.
how do YOU assign value to human lives?
... Equally? What the fuck, how is this a question. My God
You're right. I fit neaty into that category and don't think that way.
“ you notice it's never the graduate degree having, drive my prius and donate to NPR types that do this stuff”
you're only going to get shitty responses like that on reddit dude. they purged the leftists. we have ten thousand leftists here. ten fucking thousand. we will be the destruction of reddit. they will rue the fucking day.
You mind sending me a screenshot of what they've said to you? A lot of my friends are libs and I'd like to show them what their fellow libs think under that thin veneer of civility
Looks like one of the assholes is a chud but still plenty of libs saying lib shit.
I'm fully prepared to face the consequences, but I have faith in my lib friends that at least one of them will become less libby because of my actions
I've been banned from /r/politics for a minute and honestly its great, that place sucks
I eat shit in downvotes over there and I'm surprised I haven't been banned yet. I don't know why I do this to myself.
dude if you haven't been banned you are doing it wrong. i even got fuckin banned from presidentialracememes which is supposed to be a leftist sub. you need to aim for the fucking heart of liberalism.
Going into debt just to work a worthless soul sucking job while driving an overpriced smart car makes you a god.
