    A lot of different comments, and I know this is a greentext, but I wonder what people here think about americans who have 3 jobs and can only barely pull through?

    Such people have nothing more to lose, everybody constantly keeps forgetting about them, the homeless, sick people… the list goes on.

    And I’m not saying acceleration is good, but for the lost people, nothing good is coming from any side. And the pressure keeps getting worse. Even from the democrats.

    So what is the solution, achievable as the world is now?

      This is a very big flaw in that kind of argument. It might look like that but there are plenty of worse situations human beings have been in historically. There is no war going on, food and clean water and shelter (even with heating and lighting) are actually available,…

        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.

          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.

      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.

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

            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.

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

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

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

          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.

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