It's more common than you think. Especially among deeply religiously conservative minorities. They think they can go to a conservative place and then act like they can just be "one of the good ones" but then realize, to the white supremacists that make up the republican party, the only "good one" is a "dead one" or a subservient one. And even if they do embrace someone as a "good minority", they'll only be saved for last. Conservatism in any capacity is a mental disease.

if you ask these people, the overwhelming majority of them are, in fact, in favor of socialism. They just don't want "those people" getting it. So they are willing to suffer immensely under the brutality of a capitalist republican regime as long as they're certain that Black and Brown people are suffering more.

Good. If taxpayer money was used to fund a drug then no profit should be made from its sale. Drug companies will say all day long that costs are so high to recoup R&D costs but they will never admit how much of those "costs" are subsidized by taxpayer money.

#1 is not wholesome. #1 is just yet another iteration of "Young person raises enough money to stop the orphan-crushing machine" and we as a society continue to not question why an orphan-crushing machine exists, or why you would need to pay to stop it crushing orphans.

One of the key tenets of conservatism. There are in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. Boebert is in one of those in-groups, so she will never face any consequences under our legal system.

That's the goal. The people left over will be super stressed and super compliant.

Absolutely. There is a straight line you can draw from the response to 9/11 to the rise of blatant fascist and Trump's ascent to power.

What is it with conservatives and having beards that look like they're made of spray-on hair lately?

This story is your reminder that ACAB and it's not just "a few bad apples" because one bad apple ruins the whole bushel.

JD Vance sounds like the kind of name a disgraced former athlete turned scam artist and used car dealer in the GTA games would have. And when you look at the real thing, that's not far off.

Remember, the core tenet of conservatism is that there should be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, and out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The orcas are making the wealthy suffer. I will continue cheering for them.

We knew that things like this were going to happen as soon as Reddit went public. The investors don't care about users. They don't care about accessibility. They demand maximum profit per share and charging exorbitant fees for API access is one way to do that. They don't care if it kills Reddit. 21st century capitalism is all about killing one golden goose, then moving on to the next one, and killing it, ad infinitum.

30k a year is $2,500 per month. The city could literally spend that same money housing the homeless which would give them a safe space from which to straighten their lives out, and get a positive outcome. But doing that is socialism, and paying cops overtime to perform sweeps of homeless camps isn't so guess which one happens.

I have long said, the republican platform, at its very core, its heart of hearts, boils down to "Who can I hurt? And how can I hurt them?"

Gee. It's almost like as if acting in an indefensible manner leads to nobody defending you.

It used to be, the news was presented as a service, subsidized by other programming. Entertainment subsidized the evening news. With the rise of 24/7 news operators like CNN, and Fox, and the consolidation of networks, news has become more and more the entertainment. And it has to be able to bring ratings. So everything is a horse race now. Say nothing of those organizations that do things like this in an effort to weaponize the news.
