One of the reasons they attack critical race theory with such ferver is one of its absolutely true sociological tenets:

When you're accustomed to privilege, equity feels like oppression.

Regardless of the facts, regardless of the way human beings have been treated like animals and need societal protection, modern reactionary conservatives only care about those feels.

The truth is, if you want to play the rightful rulers game, the only ones with a valid argument are the Native Americans, the ones that are left I mean. It's gallows hilarious how many groups of European white people have taken turns declaring themselves the true natives of this giant genocide graveyard built by literal slaves.

That's what happens when you let people accumulate too much capital.

Capital = power

Should be a 100% wealth tax rate beyond a few hundred million. No individual should have billions of dollars in unelected, unaccountable power. And no one earns those kind of sums either.

Not like the truth matters though. Oligarchs like Musk own this fucking place and both patties have spent half a century dismantling any possible means of reigning in their power over our government, our media, and us.

If you really love triangles, it becomes a new sexual orientation.

If I could wave my hand and undo the victory of any President in my lifetime, it would not be Trump, it would be Reagan. Trump is a big, dumb, annoying animal, but never had any interest in effective legislating. Reagan, or at least the Reagan administration, took our country apart piece by piece to sell off, and converted/convinced their former opposition party to stop taking the paltry union bribes, join them in taking the massive corporate bribes, and made the best we can elect today to be feckless, hail corporate neoliberals. Since Reagan, we only get a vote on how to manage the social issue symptoms of our crony market capitalist economy, never the form or priorities of the economy itself as members of a free society would be able to.

Trump is just another symptom of the Reagan giveaway to the rich and brainwashing of the gullible poor. He is a baffoon that stole the entrenched Reagan grift out from under the Republican establishment that only used racism to lead their idiot base around by the nose by turning up the volume and throwing away the dog whistles.

IMHO, Reagan killed any hope for the US in its current form under its current constitution by giving capital holders all the power, Trump is just another bacterial colony outgrowth from its well looted corpse, just like Citizens United.

I love my wife, she can't drive for shit though, nor does she respect vehicle maintenence, much less asthetic care.

Nope.

Also, she's literally told me she'd be afraid to drive my car precisely because I keep it so nice and she doesn't want to be responsible for fucking it up.

Sometimes, you just need to wipe the drawing board clean and start over. 🤷👋 🔥

Would I hurt other people in some strange hypothetical to literally save my family's life from certain death? Maybe, and I'd be guilt ridden about it for the rest of my life.

Would I hurt people to make more money? Of course not, and that's not a defensible reason to hurt others... at all, and it makes you deeply broken at your core, especially as habit.

Really the only thing I can think of as a more horrifying reason to be cruel to others than "for money herp derp" would be "because its fun!"

Hurting others for profit in the name of business shouldn't be a defense, it should be considered an admission of guilt and come with consequences.
