I wish the world was unwelcoming to right-wing viewpoints. This is the result and so many people are fine with it. It’s so depressing.
Unfortunately you'll have to get used to it and continue challenging them. The polycrisis is only going to get worse and the number of refugees from the impact of climate change and climate change related causes i.e. conflict from collapsing food / water access and / or failed states.
In the next 10 to 20 years life quality will peak and then will start collapsing over the next 50.
When that happens a significant cohort of the population will close ranks and want to "protect" those closest around them, the desire the ultra-rich have for isolation will continue to trickle down into the rich and remnants of the upper middle class as the wealth gap widens. In times of crisis this cohort pushes further and further right.
So keep working against these forces so we can get the rich to pay their fair share to fix these problems but be prepared to take up arms when the house of cards that is the relative stability we have now collapses.
Probably the most common right-wing taking point these days. This is the level of discourse the GOP has to offer at this point
Their trollish response to me suggests they're not the most educated of people.
They rarely are. Hate is stupid and easy. You don't need to think in order to hate, you just see someone and decide they're bad for whatever reason you like. Heck, if you can't find a reason let Fox and Friends™ find one for ya 😀
As Trump once said, "I love the poorly-educated."
Yes. That’s the sort of thing.
I like it when block-worthy people announce their block-worthyness.
But how will you see their well-reasoned rebuttals now?
Oh no, I haven't thought about that! I bet they're capable of... dunno, Shakespearean art!
"I added nothing useful to the conversation and got nothing useful out of it. Fuckin' leftists."
🤣
Hey, mod here. I've removed 2 of your comments, because they were trolling. Please read the rules. The next time this happens, we will be giving you a temporary ban.
