Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
You are mistaken. I am certainly no conservative. I'm able to think for myself, I don't need a political party to do it for me.
The fact: I know people personally that make more than enough money to live comfortably but they can't pay their bills. Why? They spend their money on things they don't need. This is not an opinion, I know these people. They are very good friends of mine, they are just terrible with money management.
I'm not sure how this correlates to being classist or how it relates to poor and disabled people. I never even mentioned them.
With that being said. Do you think this behavior is acceptable? Do you believe that we shouldn't judge people on what they do with their own money, or do you believe that people should have some personal responsibility. I'm genuinely curious on what your thoughts are.
Ah yes, the Conservative Party, of which there is only one. And you cannot be conservative without being loyal to a single party!
If someone can’t afford their bills because they buy Starbucks and get food delivered then they don’t have enough money to live comfortably. Do I think this behavior is acceptable? No, buying Starbucks is bad. If they’re shoplifting then I support it.
That last bit we can agree on.
Go back to Reddit.
This is you:
"I'm not a conservative, but literally everything I have said in this thread is a well-known conservative talking point! I don't need a political party to think for me, but for some reason I can't think of anything to say except what a far right-wing American political party is famous for dribbling out to their propagandized reactionary followers."
What a weird coincidence.
