Wealth insulates you from everyone else’s idiotic behaviour. But ur right I need to take care to insulate from other people stupid behaviour better. No single points of failure and make everyone disposable. I’ll keep that in mind moving forward.

Bro they have video footage to back it up. If u believe the footage is faked u might as well believe they faked the moon landing.

Nar I’ll be fine. Just need enough money to buy food and the market will bounce back eventually. And if that failed then I’d have great fun in the apocalypse

Yep. Diversify the fuck out of everything and no single point of failure can undo you.

I don’t need to believe I know. I put in the work I got the qualifications. And as long as I don’t do anything stupid it is impossible for me to fail.

Just some context for everyone. The father ran away abandoning the child. Ice then took the child to the families door who refused to open said door and take said child as they where worried the agents would arrest the illegal immigrants in their house. Ice agents then took care of the kid and even bought the kid food. This is misinformation and purposeful abandon of context for the purposes of presenting propaganda for a narrative.

Inflation always goes up. Both parties are just 2 sides if the same coin. But they other things u mentioned are a bit misleading cos inflation under trump is way better than biden. And cost of living was mostly a bidden problem.
Inflation1000009365 As u can see the big bump is bidden the rest is trump.
I vagly remember everyone saying trump was failing cos egg prices kept going up. 1000009364 Looks like trunk kept his promise.
And we can get a feel for cost of living CPI (consumer price index) CPI1000009366 Its continuously going up but at a far slower rate under trump compared to biden.
Are u saying that u should lie to trump/Vance voters or are you simply unaware of the actual data?

Perhaps speak out against the violence taking place at the hands of the radical left. Stop supporting trans ideology. Stop supporting DEI policies that systematically disadvantage them. Stop supporting rampant immigration. Stop trying to take gun rights and free speech away. Stop supporting people who are using violence and illegal action against a department that is doing its legally mandated duty at behest of the people via democracy (ice).
Ohh and also perhaps try treating them like people not as pawns for your own political ends.
Good luck but I think you will find that these people don’t want to vote for trump or Vance they want to vote for someone more extreme. They didn’t choose this they where pushed here.

Why shouldn’t the people be allowed to vote in fascism? The whole point of democracy is to give the people autonomy over their own destiny. If the people decide that fascism is their destiny who are you to tell them they can’t? Telling people what they can and cannot vote for is extremely fascist is it not?
DJT ran for president on a platform of mass deportations and border control. He then won both the popular vote and the Electoral College. He then enacted that policy. What is undemocratic about that?

Glad ur smart enough to figure out that I’m just using the word “empathy” to manipulate you. Maybe you will think about that the next time u use that word for the exact same purpose. Ur so close to realising that I’m just using your own arguments against you yet so far from realising that every argument u present you are arguing against yourself.

I’m not asking u to quote I’m asking you to interpret how that is fascist. I’m ignoring the fact u cut the quote to exclude my explicit denouncement of those ideologies cos that might be a bridge too far for u. But what about that is fascist? What about supporting the democratic rule of law is fascist? What about pointing out that I stand to gain from some specific fascist ideologies yet still don’t support them is fascist?

As I thought fascism doesn’t mean fascism it means “someone I disagree with who I want to wish violence upon”.
And what exactly about that I said makes me fascist? Please point out exactly what part makes me fascist? I explicitly stated I didn’t want the fascist ideologies hence why I support democracy and the carrying out of its duties as elected by the people. I pointed at that I would stand to gain a lot by supporting it yet I don’t. Do want to be the reason I decide that maybe I should?
Why can u support an ideology that is counter to democratic law that benefits u the most and I can’t? You can either accept the democratic rule of law and live under the social contract or everyone gets to support ideologies counter to democratic law such as fascism, Nazism, or eugenics. U can have ur cake or u can eat it not both.

Its not propaganda its just support for the policy supported by a majority of the american people. And your right ice is backed by the entire unites states military they hold an absolute monopoly on violence. Be greatful they have not decided to use it and go full Tiananmen square in ur ass. Cos they sure as shit could and with the way ur acting why wouldnt people laugh just like u did when Charlie kirk died. If u celebrate the death of others for their political options why should others have empathy for you? Pick a side empathy for your enemies and u shall receive empathy if you die or laugh at ur enemies deaths and don’t be surprised when people celebrate yours.

Fence sitting? I’m not fence sitting I absolutely think that ice is doing their democratically elected and mandated duty. I believe in free speech of everyone Karl popper be damned.
I think your definition of fascism and my definition are vastly different. Yours seems to include people such as Charlie kirk who never killed anyone or advocated for violence. Mine includes states who actively practice the hyper nationalistic and totalitarian practice’s of fascism as prescribe by Mussolini. Eg the USSR, ccp, Nazis, Iran etc etc. I would not count the maga movement as fascist, nationalistic sure but they support freedom of speech and are actively carrying out the will of the people as decided by democracy ie ice deportations.
If u don’t support liberal democratic nations then why don’t u fuck off to somewhere that isn’t a liberal democratic nation? You are free to leave (due to the fact that u live in a liberal democratic nation, don’t let the irony if that be lost).
So jan6 was only bad because u think the people who did it where Nazis? The Nazis killed 22million people the jan 6 rioters killed 0. I can see 22million reasons why that statement is completly fucking illogical.
My feelings aren’t hurt at all I’m here for the entertainment value of watching a meltdown in real time as I simply present what most people would call objective reality. And given the way the world is going and that I’m a well educated, rich, strait, white, male when it comes to fascism, Nazism, or eugenics I stand to lose nothing and most likely stand to win a lot. I don’t like fascism I like my liberty and freedom but if I’m going to lose liberty and freedom I’d rather it be taken by those who don’t hate me for who I am.
I think you are failing to realise that the world is not simply split in 2. Their does not exist 2 groups 1 that agrees with u and one that is fascist. I’m sure I agree with you on many things and disagree with u on many other. I am not simply some asshole playing politics like a football game picking sides. I’m picking whatever side on every issue that is the most beneficial to me and the most beneficial in creating the world I want to live in. And I want to live in a world where the government does the job it was democratically elected to do and in this case that is deport illegal immigrants. That is what the people decided. Their are only 2 functional forms of government democracy, and fascism, and I prefer democracy.
