Anon before being sent to pick tendies in the fields at the debtor detention facility

I mean, if we're bringing back child labor, debtor's prisons aren't a huge leap.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com -1 points 2 hours ago

I mean, it kind of is.

Debtor's prisons were never fair, but at least it usually involved adults who made their own choices.

Kids can't legally consent to anything - though I'm sure the republicans want to change that too.

The prices remain the same when you steal everything

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 35 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

How did they never pay for anything? Shoplifting? Are they literally a statue of a Confederate general?

Welfare hardly finances existance, let alone life. The three I named are more like it

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Why not a bit of all?

The problem with NEET-ism is you eventually run out of your parent's money.

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 25 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That's where the goverment suppoorted neet's come into the picture.

I know some neet's who get more money from goverment than some people working 60 hour jobs.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 32 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't feel like someone relying on government helps would think some corporate fascist who generally wants to reduce government spendings represents their interest, but then again I don't think there is a logical framework in which we won't conclude that OP is at least a little bit dumb. But what makes me favour the parents supported hypothesis is the "never paid for anything " part.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.

Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.

I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.

Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.

Anywhere from 500 euro up to 1.5k euro ( which is higher than average wage here ).

"Fuck you, I never had mine" is definitely one of the positions one could take.

[–] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago

Except we still live in ‘free’ market vibes based capitalism - where the profits are privatized, and the losses get socialized. If this tariff stupidity goes on, there will be some kind of bailout/grift like there always is. From PPP loans, sweetheart tax breaks, to liquidity bailouts for banks, the Fed will step in and Congress will have to do something to restore market and consumer confidence. Or else we all facetank turbo inflation, job losses, and stagnant wages in a new economic depression.

If these NEETs were old enough to have been alive during the 2008 crash, they spent it playing Modern Warfare 2 and wondering why everyone else had big sad - after all, they still had vidya, porn, and tendies living at home.

Ah.. It's fair? If wealth isn't distributed well, blaming radical ideas will only fuel the fire. Solution is a much deeper one no one wants to invest into.

[–] Franklin@lemmy.ca 23 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I can call it a really stupid take while also acknowledging we need deep systemic change.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I meant it's fair from a common man perspective where the laws might protect you from corporate greed

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Burn the world down and build it back fresh and new. It’s a great strategy when you don’t ask who is building it back and what are their goals? Nobody should ever trust Trump or any other billionaire to be that person.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 5 hours ago

Yes, the right idea with worst case motive

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

It's the right formula, but the wrong results.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 67 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

They seem oddly confident in the police state and cultural sharia they voted for will never come for them.

[–] kaaskop@feddit.nl 35 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Or they don't care. Don't underestimate how self destructive depression can be.

[–] uienia@lemmy.world 18 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Don't blame this on depression. Most depressed people doesn't become fascists. If anything this is their narcissism showing itself.

[–] kaaskop@feddit.nl 7 points 9 hours ago

I dont think al of the people that voted for the annoying orange agree with the fascistic tendencies. It's probably an unhealthy mix of suicidals and depressed people, angry people, fascists, idiots and morons. Neither of these are mutually exclusive of course.

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee 14 points 13 hours ago

I never thought leopards would eat my face

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 13 points 11 hours ago

I kinda understand their point of view here actually. Wanting to drag everyone down to their level. Burn it all down.

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 38 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Some men want to see the world burn.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

There really are an unfortunate number of people who want to see the world burn in some fashion. Entertainment, because they can’t stand not poking a bear with a stick, or maybe because they’re a crab in a bucket and are willing to destroy others’ success because they have none of their own.

You mean you engineer solutions.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

As long as the solution is fire

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What about explosions? Can we do explosions?

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

That's just fast fire, we can do fast fire!

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 24 points 12 hours ago

The most dangerous people are those with nothing to lose.
