I’m talking about how the united states would gather AMERICAN CITIZENS who have comitted no crimes whatsoever, send them to camps, and have them mass killed

Because society is so terrified of the technologies we have created that it has adopted the ideal that everything needs to be perfect right here and now, and so any deviation from acting out that Utopian fantasy is met harshly, even though it's obviously not true to any rational person.

Many of us heard it back in 2016, but the media ran a smear campaign when we attempted to identify that we were life long liberals who could no longer support this sort of insanity, by tying the term "alt-right" to actual Nazis.

If you're trying to redistribute society's wealth, then you're going to have to take from those who produce more than average, and give it to those who produce less than average.

Your point about being motivated by things other than money is something I'll readily agree upon, but is also irrelevant to a discussion on the redistribution of wealth, where we're specifically addressing those parts of society which generate wealth.

...is something you aren't going to have when exceeding the average is "rewarded" by have any gains you may have made redistributed to underachievers.

the standard propaganda

That's your problem. You're trying to interpret earnest statements through the lens of propaganda. Not that I can't understand taking such a view of social media.

Not at all. I just stuck to much simpler, and less enjoyable/healthy, meals most of the time.

During the lockdowns I learned to cook for myself, and now I eat better, cheaper.

I swear so many of our problems stem from this. The types of personalities required to reach high level decision making positions within vast organizations strongly trend towards psychopathy.

Having a shitty day, but you don't want to take it out on the wage slave behind the counter? What are you hiding?
