That's not true either, almost every racist I run into on the internet talks mad shit about republicans for supporting Israel. Most of them wouldn't vote for either party. I saw multiple news articles about klansmen in 2016 supporting Hillary Clinton on the grounds that she was anti desegregation when she worked on the Goldwater campaign in the 60s.

I've met numerous liberals and leftists that were racist in private. Hell, Che Guevara was an outspoken racist. I don't think racism is partisan, there are just people like that out there.

The McDouble.

It's cheap, nutrient dense, simple.

I'm with you on most of that. But I think the problem is more fundamental: the money devalues at a rate of 2-5% a year.

Think about it. Why wouldn't the wealthy just hoard money? Because you can't just hoard money. It devalues. You have to monetize other assets. So they buy real estate, with money they made from you when prices go up but your wages haven't gone up yet. They benefit from the cantillion effect and in the process siphon wealth from the bottom. and as they accumulate non-money assets, that effect compounds because the prices go up some more. The wealth gap, all of this, it stems directly from our inflationary monetary system. Their trick is that they get to fuck with the money.

Well, this leads me to conclude that the only reason to get into politics is the money.

Yeah I won't have another cat. They don't deserve to be kept cooped up but they are pretty destructive.

Funny, when the climate change deniers called offsets a scam, everyone dogpiled them. Now that they've been definitively outed as a scam and it is an acceptable narrative among the left, offsets were of course always a scam by the oil industry and politicians.

The problem with this is that the left is not the shining house on the hill anymore. You guys lost the fucking plot.

We aren't talking about civil rights vs lynching anymore. You want me to pick between communism and fascism, and here's the thing: I'm not a centrist. I'm an ideological extremist, I believe in individual liberty to an extreme. It's not down the middle, its as far the fuck away from the both of you that I can get. Draw a picture of that guy turning around and walking away from the fork in the road, that's me. You're both the same.

How much did you pay for the eyes?
