The thing is, hate has varying degrees. There is: slight disregard up to boiling rage. But the root is the same. They hate those that are different and the higher ups need a Boogeyman to point their capitalistism caused depression to.

Fair enough

In America, right wingers support the republicans who have a verified track record of taking rights away, cheating elections and straight up lying. By refusing the see any other point of view, they reject open mindedness. They are unyielding in their beliefs and that is dangerous. It’s whats led to the current affairs of the USA. Theyve been swindled for years. The thing I hate most of all is there core principle is hate. They hate minorities, immigrants, foreigners and gays. They always have some justification for it. "Gays are cross dressing and confusing my children. Gays are indecent. Minorities are abusing social programs. Jewish people are running criminal cabals. (Etc. etc.)

You’ll have the “oh well I don’t support THAT part of my political party but shrug nothing we can do 🙂” publicans but don’t do anything or even CRITICIZE it. And those that try to refute these points either outright deny that its true or use whataboutism.

I will end this by saying I have right winger friends who are radicalizing away from me and I’m trying my hardest to show them that core beliefs of comraderie and compassion is far superior to the kool aid they’re being forced fed by all major social media companies.

Doesn’t make it right. This is a civilized age and we must forever push for progress.

I have the experience. Close friends consumed by the alt-rightosphere. These are (arguable were) caring people who’d stop and help strangers stranded on side of the road. People I considered like minded. But now it’s “Democrats are pedophiles, Clinton flew with Epstein and here’s how the election was stolen” (the irony is not lost on me).

Trying to discuss this constructively just doesn’t work. It always ends with 😡👉"Your information is wrong and you’re being brainwashed"👈😔 you can show them all of the stuff but their eyes glaze over and they’re just thinking about how to find an article that either: Spins how the negative thing is actually good or just outright false.

Not much. My country is going through an authoritarian take over and I’m not too optimistic about the future.

Isn’t that the actor that hat had an actual cult following?

I think the absurdity is the point. Putin wants America isolated, so he’s having trump threaten our closest allies.

I took it as “Put him, alone, in the middle of people his country is currently genociding so so he can see the horrors of Genocide, the kind his own people once faced. This should reframe why his Nazi salute was a poor decision.” But I can see how it can be interpreted the other way by looking at the “with no help” part.

“IT WAS SAID YOU WOULD DESTROY THE COMPETITION, NOT JOIN THEM”

I wonder if they gave Elmo two left feet on purpose.

In the end, my receipts don’t matter. It’s fake news. The closest I can get is to make my points using FOX NEWS articles. But there’s often a shit ton of spin on those so I can’t get the really hard hitting facts across. Best example was my trumper friend saying that ICE is going after criminal immigrants and not the good, working ones. I linked the fox news article saying that the ICE commander said everyone’s on the chopping block. I was met with “No, no they can’t do that. They can’t do that. They won’t do that”. They literally live in their own made up reality where the rules are how they interpret them and not how they actually are. Even when their glorified party proves them wrong, time and time again.

God bless my buddy’s hearts. They’re good people but theyre actively getting corrupted and I’m trying at every chance I get to give them a different perspective.

Same with friends. But it’s so hopeless trying to get through to them. I know their feeds are filled with “LIBERAL TEARS, IMMIGRANTS BECOMES MILLIONAIRE WITH FOOD STAMPS AND HERES WHY WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE ACTUAL VICTIMS” They see it on their YouTube. Their Twitter. Their Facebook. Their Instagram. Their FOX (self described non news “entertainment” channel) NEWS app. They’re getting hit with propaganda from everywhere, not even counting the decades of Fox that’s infected their family. They’re so incredibly misinformed and I don’t know what way to change their minds. Some times they’ll listen but it never sticks, probably the same way I do when they’re telling me how democrats actually set up any bad thing that happens.

Long lips 👄

It’s always been a rich man’s country. All for one, none for all.

“hey guys social media manager here. It was all my fault. It’s not our CEOs fault, at all. Just mine. Who am I? Well I can say my name definitely doesn’t start with an A and end in a Y. Just little ol’ faceless nameless me. Tee hee sorry.”

Dope af. Good job on the fabrications.

I don’t see how any government functions after the first few days. By that time, everyone knows they’re looping. So why go work? Maybe a small percent will but a vast majority of people will just do their own thing. No need to worry about job security when you’ll wake up tomorrow with the same amount of money.

Personally, I think the world would probably be very pleasant if we all looped. No one would be able to take anything from you, since you’d get it right back the next day. Might just be boring after a couple thousand loops, as no new movies, games or news would be able to be produced.

Funny enough, there actually is. A poem by Martin Niemöller. Full thing is:

"Y’all are dumb

Thought you were part of the in crowd, without a doubt

You fucked around

Now you’ll find out"
