In the 80s we were already on this path to severe underpayment. He was being fucked by the system already, it just wasn't as obviously destructive so he took it with the lube they provided and said thank you. Now they can't admit that's what happened because they would have to admit were/are idiots getting willingly fucked by the business.

bankers don't give a shit about red team or blue team, they've just been stealing from everyone. Good luck!

I mean they really, very obviously, do go in for conservatives. It’s their whole fucking thing.

Seems like you are making his point for him. The people being funded in these articles are all conservatives. Some are Democrat neoliberal conservatives, but they are still business-class conservatives, regardless of party affiliation.

Conservatism is a plague of oppression that benefits the wealthy.

@Burn_The_Right you think those are the only articles with those stories about those banks? search for yourself, or don't, but don't act like I just gave you the contents of the internet.

I'm not trying to attack you at all. My apologies if it came off that way.

I am pushing back on the common idea that the majority of Dem leadership is non-conservative. The establishment Democrats are neoliberal conservatives who align pretty well with Reagan on most topics. We don't have a viable progressive party at the moment, unfortunately, so we're stuck with diet-conservatives in the Dem party and the few progressives within the party.

Ok, I retract my apology. May you find your conclusion swiftly.

Conservatives are a plague long overdue for a cure. I may not be able to meet you on a battlefield, but I will be sure to think of you for a moment while dealing with a local. It's my little gift to you. Don't say I never gave you anything.

You're right. I'm just a pussy. And a socialist. I would never.

[-] MidnightRider@noauthority.social -3 points 1 month ago

@Burn_The_Right I know you will, and I don't care.

Baby Boomers really struggle to accept their enormous share of how we got to this place.

Invariably it's some Millennial's fault. And by Millennial, I mean anyone who looks under 40.
