NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 hours ago"Living on the governments tit" is straight up right-winger bullshit. We pay taxes, why the fuck should the government hoard that money and use it on shit that doesn't benefit the people? That is the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT of a government, to pool resources and skills to better society as a whole.
True on your other points, but here they're saying the money should be given to employees rather than employers. That's not rightwing at all; it's leftwing if anything.
Sure, that had a semblance of socialism and rational thought to it, but the fact that they spin it as a negative and imply that the government shouldn’t be funding social welfare is pretty clear in showing that they’re too ignorant to actually understand what socialism is.
Ironic, considering that right-wingers more than any other group rely on sucking the governments tit to survive day to day
First, they're not claiming to be socialist. Second, they're criticizing corporate welfare, not social welfare. They support social welfare in the exact same comment. Rich pricks sucking on the government's tit and providing nothing to society is a bad thing, or at least the leftwing position considers it to be a bad thing. Are you even reading what they wrote?
First, I never said they were a socialist. Pretty clear they aren’t, not sure where you’re going with that. Second, they’re criticizing the government using tax dollars to ensure we have functional agriculture. Cutting funding for agriculture and giving the funding to corporations instead is literally being carried out by the regime, as shown in project 2025 and with doge cuts.
But sure, we can just assume it’s a coincidence that they agree with the fascists on that.

Exactly. I think government and corporations exist to generate wealth to benefit society. Right now it exists to benefit corporations.
