How else are we supposed to know who's better than who?

I thought you guys used race and gender for that?

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh that too. We make sure to remind the poor white folk they are still better than rich black people

As President Lyndon B(ig dick) Johnson once said

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

You said people and folk, but I think you meant men.

[–] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My apologies. In my attempt to be horrifically racist, I forgot to also be sexist. It won't happen again.

God damn lazy modern bigots. Back in my day there was a word for people like you, but using it will get me banned on half the fediverse.

With a star on your belly.

The Jones's are a bunch of chatty kathy pricks.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they have a hot tub.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, I have a hot tub. Granted, it been sitting on its side for about 5 years, the critters have claimed it as their own and now live inside, and the siding is rotted to hell, but it's there.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Sounds to me like the critters are the Jones's now!
