    Many of them are the same people who think a podcast made by the former host of Fear Factor is informed and intellectual.

        I had this thought while at work today. Wondered if I’d be happier, then realized I’d probably just end up homeless, and stuck in and out of prison for the rest of my life because there is no way I could pay for care like a lobotomized Kennedy.

          The thing is, your quality of life can be as bad as it wants, but based on my observations of these creatures, they appear to be happier regardless, simply because they believe these things are good. Like eggs may have tripled in price, but they actually seem happier about that than when the prices were lower, simply due to the change in the person in charge. So it appears like you would also be liberated from your quality of life having any tangible effect on your happiness.

    Imagine putting a fucking bird on your chest for forty years, saluting a piece of fabric, sacrificing your family and shit.

    40 years of putting on that clown makeup and they just stick the nose on someone else.

      I don’t personally believe in what she believes in, but it’s perfectly reasonable for someone who grew up during this country’s Reagan era to truly and genuinely believe that serving in the military is a valuable and fulfilling purpose that’s greater and more important than the needs of a single family.

      Maybe it’s clown makeup, but wouldn’t it be nice to feel some sense of purpose in your life rather than spending it shit talking people on the internet?

        I liked that it specifically didn’t choose a plot that mirrored any current events. It wasn’t a conservative versus liberal thing, it wasn’t a “south will rise again” thing.

          I guess that depends on anyone’s interpretation, it wasn’t too on the nose, but imo the fact that it was “Ron” who played the president + they were racists against mexicans it can quite easily be interpreted as a stand-in for trump.

          But I agree it wasn’t trying to be preachy, just showing the horrific consequences of war, war on US Soil specifically

        dems chose a garbage candidate.

        Funny. That garbage candidate was orders of magnitude better than the other option.

        Then stupid Americans chose that other option.

        Almost like Americans are far more responsible for our current situation than the Democrat party.

          Or didn’t choose at all because the other candidate promised “peace” in the middle east, not knowing “peace” is just “lack of military conflicts”, after a period of intensifying them.

            Maybe we could hold them accountable in such a way as to not give fascists power to deconstruct our government and strip our rights. Just a thought.

    Knowing the “muh meritocracy” type of people:

    They see white skin color as a sign of competency, they see being male as a sign of competency, they see constant smiling as a sign of competency, they see wearing suits as a sign of competency, they see confidence as a sign of competency.

    Work your whole life for your country just to get fired by a braindead twerp in the entertainment industry.

    And spend the rest of your life living amongst the dipshits responsible for that being possible.
