at the end of the Biden term we had full employment

You want to know what white privilege really is?

White privilege is thinking, genuinely, that we had "full employment" at the end of the Biden administration. Just 6 short months ago, happiness and prosperity for all reigned supreme throughout the land .... and then HE took over.

Now look at us.

I personally know white people who have lost their jobs. WHITE PEOPLE!

No longer are all affluent white people employed. No, now he's playing to his blue collar base, unlike Biden who played to us! The educated and affluent. Trump and his white trash followers are going to ruin everything. EVERYTHING. Just when we thought we'd rid this nation of the yucky blue collar industries, HE wants to bring them back. Well HE makes me sick.

HE is trying to bring non-white jobs back. Factory jobs. Immigrant jobs. Minority jobs. Do YOU want to work a minority job, shoulder to shoulder with actual minorities?

Do we really need to endure three more years of this? Do we have to watch HIM cater to the deplorables over and over again. We need to get our people back. The people who look like us, talk like us, smell like us .... not someone who thinks about the others.

Democrats fought a war once to preserve slavery, we birthed the KKK, we promoted eugenics, we ran the Jim Crow south, we formed the majority of opposition to the Civil Rights Act, hell we had an ex-KKK member in congress until 2010. We didn't come all this way just to watch WHITE TRASH and Negrottoes realize higher employment. Who does the president work for anyway?

He works for US! Not THEM! That's why he's so unpopular! That's why he lost the election (or erection as the Japanese call it).

I say we send this blue collar butt-kissin, nigra lovin, son of a one legged hermaphrodite back to New York City where he came from. They don't even know how to make good picante sauce there.

Come on, who's with me?

Did somebody say impeachment? Russian colluder? Pussy grabber? Insurrectionist? He insurrected against the government and against my beloved Democracy! In 3 years there will be no more Democracy, only a Stalinist dictatorship! Why oh why couldn't Biden have been president for life?!!! Why! Everything was perfect then!

I want you all to go to your windows, open them up, and scream "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!" Go ahead, I'll wait! Go, go now! Hurry!

The only way Trump is going to be able to move manufacturing to the US is to destroy the middle class. To kill office jobs, and basically force people to find manual labor instead.

Oh yeah, all those unskilled workers in cushy office jobs, I forgot about them. The ones who were hired on as CEOs when Flint and Detroit went tits up with their jobs were offshored. Yeah, good point.

It remains interesting that Democratic positions in 2025 are not that different than they were in 1860.

"You want to work those damn cotton fields yourself for two cents per hour? You want your children to work the cotton fields for two cents per hours? Or do you want the nigras to work those fields for the cost of a bowl full of grits? If you want to actually PAY people to work the field, and pay people who will demand a living wage, and probably benefits too .... go ahead, be my guest, free the slaves. Or, keep everything like it is, keep your job in the big house, and shut your holes. We don't need no more instigating."

Hell, you guys did such a good job when you decimated the manufacturing industry, that's why most US inner-cities are, frankly, the best parts of US cities. Sll those people put out of manufacturing jobs are now working nice, cushy office jobs like you are. I mean, think about it, if god loved the unskilled, he'd have made them born to affluent parents.

For the few that do go hungry, let them eat cake.

Democrat presidents have real mandates, not little teeny-tiny hand size victories that trump barely won.

Remember, this is a party Meade of educated people who are NOT, I repeat NOT delusional.

Oh sure, they talk shit about how many votes their party gets after soundly losing an election, but they grew up never having experience disappointment before. They got a trophy just for showing up. Yes when your helicopter parents take pictures of your bowel movements and shriek with glee every time you make one, even a clear loss is a win for you.

It is one hell of a charmed life if you are lucky enough to get one.

You know, I do not want to be the one to explain to it that, no matter how few votes the orange satan got, their messiah of goodness got even fewer votes, and thus people who have experienced hardship would find it a very strange time to gloat. Almost batshit even,

Alas, it would not understand anyways as negativity was no doubt banned in its household, so what the hell, let us give it what it knows.

That is right, Democrats got so many votes in this past election that Republicans are jealeous. Oh sure they got more regular people votes, but they got NONE of the special people who live in your head votes. And let us face it, those are the votes that count.

Hey Republicans, loo hoo hoo hoo hoo sers! That is two wins in a row for Democrats, apparently the voters want nothing to do with the evil satan Trump. Nyah Nyah.

Comment Climategate on Wikipedia (Score 2) 229

The most bizarre Wikipedia article I have ever read, is the article on Climategate. Itâ(TM)s quite long, but they donâ(TM)t publish anything from the emails. They donâ(TM)t tell you what the emails said or anything. Instead itâ(TM)s quote after quote from editorials opining that nobody should be interested in the content of the Climategate emails; including a quote from a random women saying that she would never knowingly sleep with someone who read the Climategate emails.

They honestly think this is convincing.

The entire article tries to shame you for looking up the article in the first place, and provides zero information about what the emails contain.

This, we are told, is encyclopedic.

Seriously, read it yourself, I doubt you will believe it. I do not understand how it has persisted that way for years. The true believers really do see the world differently. They read that page and think, ah, perfect, this will convince them, nobody will find the information elsewhere, they will just no longer be interested. Especially if some random woman will not sleep with them.

  Then they will criticize them for reading elsewhere, saying the site is misinformation. It is such a disconnect from reality,

What they cannot accept, is that the crisis of credibility is not due to some right wing this or that. It is due to them, and their behavior that seeks solely to shame and foster in-group cohesion. There is no evidence that they care one bit about the issue.

Self-described progressives take more flights and fly more miles every year than self-described conservatives. Pointing this out is equivalent to a downmod, and that shows you the extent of their concern. If they cause it, they prefer not to know. They only care if climate change is the fault of conservatives.

Their hope springs eternal that someday, someway, do as I say, not as I do, will become the universally accepted strategy for dealing with the problem.

Comment I Hear That People in Other Countries (Score 1) 73

Talk about how the police in America are pirates, and they will steal your cash if they find you in possession of more than a very small amount. They say that a lawyer will cost more than the amount you can recover, so the police just steal and accuse you of selling drugs while never actually charging you with a crime, and they say the American courts uphold the practice. It is fairly common practice in Banana Republics.

We are supposedly these freedom-loving badasses who will put a boot in your ass because it is the American Way, but we have all laid down and accepted things we have reamed other nations for doing. Like the government preventing people from speaking to anyone when the government is abusing them. Gag orders are exactly what the Bill of Rights was written to prevent, yet we gave it away while wagging our finger at the unfree countries. We are a punch line across the globe, but we still do not realize it. Instead we strut around telling everyone what is wrong with their country. The world remains shocked by how little we have resisted it all. They are surprised to find that we are no less gullible, and no more likely to refuse to submit, than anyone else.

Itâ(TM)s funny, how over here we talk about how China has repressive laws, yada yada, and how everyone else is this evil and that backward.

In the end, every place else is similar. We are all brainwashed to think we are special free, and we know for a fact that everyplace is bad and not special free and we all have our favorite opiate stories to back it up.

Anyway, carry on, hey, I hear the Communist in China are really oppressive. Let us talk about it so that we may feel like less than cowards for another glorious 10 minutes. Come on, who is with me?!

Aren't they always, though? I'm not sure I've ever seen an Internet post where it WASN'T the "others" who were responsible for all of the ills in the world. Would a truly smart and educated person not see that they demonstrate the same "me good, them bad" bias that the average Walmart shopper exhibits, and immediately pull back and reevaluate tactics? Or is the approval that you get from your fellow obvious geniuses really enough piss away the money that your parents spent on your education?

I mean, we get it, you think you're smarter than the American masses. That's hardly a revelation, though, is it? Personally, I keep hoping that someone truly is, and I keep looking for evidence of that this is the case.

Alas, it always ends in disappointment as the college educated smart people post the exact same "me good, you bad" insults and recycled snarky one-linters that the uneducated Republicans do. Then you high-five each other while downmod everyone who disagrees with you (your intellectually spot-on definition of a "troll" or "flamebaiter") and retire to talk about how great they are and how lame the others are.

The thing is, if you guys really are smarter and more intellectual, you've done a piss poor job of showing it. Sure, you and those in your IQ range agree that you are the bestest, most smartest person on the Internet. I'm not sure that you seem as brilliant as you think you do, though. Although if I'm right on any level, I'm absolutely certain that that is someone else's fault as well.

But hey, who knows, maybe it will work this time. Maybe we just don't get the true genius of calling people names.
