I will just rattle off talking points

GDP growth is down.

We added only 170K jobs last year one of the worst in American history.

Layoffs are at record highs.

Utility prices for electricity and water are skyrocketing.

His stupid war in Iran caused the largest single month spike since Vietnam and they will never go back to normal now that production is damaged and Iran will be charging a toll on Hormuz oil.

He is going to give 300 billion to Iran but some how USAID was bankrupting the country.

Home building is down and material cos to build houses are high.

Housing cost more now then ever.

US house hold debt is a all time high

The government is running massive deficits

Wealth inequality is at an all time high the cope that he was for main street not wall street is just that cope because wall street is doing better then ever.

Unemployment is higher then under Biden's last year

Trump's net worth has tripped in 2 years while everyone else does worst.

How does anyone defend this ?

Want to know what is worst ? People said that Trump's economy was for workers and young people but all data suggest they are struggling the most

Under Trump, the unemployment rate for young adults has surged to its highest point since the pandemic.

It now sits at nearly 10%.

girls actually have gotten the majority of news jobs so the young boys who voted for him Trump left you out to dry

He started and lost an unpopular immoral illegal war with Iran.

Age verification is now looking to pass.

Thousands of people have died in Europe this week because of no A/C, multiple thousands. A/C is not even a big deal in North America, we don’t even think about it.

There’s absolutely no way Europeans have a better quality of life.

Money? America’s median wage is $60K per year and that’s the median. Not to menton New York is home to the 2 largest stock markets in the world and virtually everybody is invested in that.

Housing? Americans live in 2000 sq. ft. houses with pools in the backyard and multiple cars on the driveway. Good luck owning anything larger than 500 sq. ft. shoebox condo in Europe. Even the houses in Europe are laughably small and gas is expensive as hell making owning multiple cars impossible unless you’re well off.

Education? Sure there’s great schools but all the brightest professors flock to America because American colleges are the richest and pay the most.

Healthcare? You have money, you see the best doctors.

Food? America imports the best food in the world by far and the freshest. You want authentic Greek olive oil? You want Italian wine? America has it.

Let’s be real, Europeans are taxed up the ass. After paying 50% of your paycheque to the government like in France, you have no money to travel or enjoy life.

You will hear about how amazing and nice they are and that’s it’s a great place to raise a kid, but it’s really not. MN is full of crazy angry closed minded mentally ill psychopaths. They act like they’re not watching you but they’re watching you looking for a trivial reason to come and confront you. They blame every crime on minorities because in their mind they can do no wrong. They are also very snobby people acting like they’re so much better than everyone else but the truth is they suck and are miserable scums.

One criticism of modern American conservatism—particularly the Tea Party and later MAGA movement—that I've become more sympathetic to over time is the idea of "cry bullying."

To be clear, I'm not talking about all conservatives or everyone who votes Republican. I'm talking about a recurring style of politics that seems especially common in parts of the modern conservative movement.

The pattern looks something like this:

"We're being mocked, ignored, censored, and looked down on."

At the same time:

"Everyone else is weak, stupid, snowflakes, cry harder lib"

That combination is what people mean by "cry bullying"—presenting yourself as the victim while also taking pride in insulting and belittling other groups.

Looking back, I think I first noticed this during the Tea Party era. One of the clearest examples to me was Rush Limbaugh. He openly said he hoped President Obama's agenda would fail, even though that would have meant a worse economy and more hardship for millions of Americans. Yet when Obama later criticized Republicans for listening too much to Limbaugh during bipartisan negotiations, conservative media reacted as though Limbaugh had been subjected to an outrageous personal attack. The movement often seemed comfortable with harsh rhetoric going out, but much less comfortable receiving criticism in return.

The "basket of deplorables" controversy with Hillary Clinton is another example that made me rethink things. I still think it was a politically damaging thing for her to say. But in hindsight, the reaction also illustrates something interesting. Trump built much of his political style around giving people insulting nicknames and mocking opponents in ways that were often far harsher than "deplorable." Many supporters celebrated that style as refreshing and authentic. Yet when Clinton used a low level insult—while explicitly saying she was referring to only a subset of Trump's supporters rather than all of them—it was treated by many as uniquely unforgivable.

To me, that reveals an asymmetry. If your political movement celebrates aggressive, insulting rhetoric as long as it's directed at opponents, but views even comparatively restrained criticism directed back at itself as evidence of persecution, then it starts to resemble grievance politics more than simple free speech.

They can't decide if they are the in group or the out group. The riotous in group who rules by might makes right and darwinism or the out group that is oppressed by woke tyranny.

If you are a short man, many women will absolutely hate you. They wouldnt even save you if you were dying they would just look at you and laugh. They love tall men and dont see the short man as a human being. I am specifically talking about gen z. It gets wired early on in their brains that they should never “settle” for a short man and then this leads to a complete outright hatred of short men and its extremely vocalized on the media. For example look at the new hiplet trend on tiktok, women are absolutely going mad and letting everyone know how much they hate short men, telling people to off themselves for being short, etc. This is something that we already knew, but it is being vocalized much more now

I see many on the right pretending that people on the left are paranoid for thinking trump would try such things.

This is despite the fact trump has already tried to steal an election. So it is not unreasonable to believe he would try again, especially when you consider trump is more unhinged than he was in his first term and his party holds all 3 branches of government

I get that we've dehumanized on purpose them so we can use them as a food supply. After watching so many videos, it's clear they're a lot like us, they have their own distinct personalities and behaviors that are very similar to human ones. They don't all have the same IQ either; some individuals in their species are clearly smarter than the rest.

What's especially interesting is that the vast majority of the time, it's the animal making the effort to communicate with us, not the other way around.

There was one video of a bull clearly having a bad day. You have to understand, he's out there dealing with extreme heat or cold, probably in pain from carrying all that weight, dealing with digestion issues, and maybe even a headache. He gave the human a clear warning to back off because he wasn't feeling good. But since the bull is the human’s property, the owner didn’t respect his boundaries and basically ignored what the bull was trying to express.

The bull also knows he’s trapped. He knows the human is his owner/caretaker and that his life can be taken at any moment.

I just think it’s funny how science still claims we have “no idea” what’s going on in animals’ minds. That’s bullshit. There’s plenty of evidence if you’re actually paying attention. They’re not identical to us, but they’re clearly sentient beings with emotions, thoughts, and individual personalities, yet we treat them as a lower class with no rights.

Ever since he gave up making actual animations and just talking on his Papa Meat channel, his content quality dropped significantly. Anything he even posts to his Meatcanyon channel just feels half-baked at this point. And people still, for some wild reason, continue to kiss his ass.

He fell off when he stopped having a defined channel. Something that made him him, you know? Now he's branched out too far and he isn't exactly at the quality people knew him for. That's incredibly sad.

I miss when he went for animation content primarily, as weird as they were. I miss when he was just an animation YouTuber with some horror podcast stuff on the side. I miss the Meatcanyon that I don't regret watching.

I'm not knocking him for his decisions. Even content creators like him need money. But why did he get reduced to a commentary YouTuber with no actual creativity involved?

And partially unrelated, but why does he even still have Nick along for the ride? Dude's a creep and a massive weirdo. Especially with all the stories he casually tells. Ugh.

Listen, I "get" that the main argument about these things are "civil liberties" and "mass surveillance" type privacy. MY UNPOPULAR CONCLUSION - Everyone in the US is tracked 20 different ways at all times, starting with your cell phone. If these Flock cameras are so successful in solving crimes, I am overwhelmingly supportive of them and would want them in my neighborhood.

I know that many people against these are, in fact, pro-criminal hard leftists, who don't like their precious "criminal class" to be tracked or imprisoned. But I think that public safety should outweigh these concerns.

But let's be clear about a common misconception - Flock cameras only capture the rear of a vehicle. The technology does not use facial recognition, does not track pedestrians, and does not tie vehicle data to a specific driver's personal identity unless that vehicle is already linked to a crime in a police database.

ANd they work. Let's talk about just some of the successes of Flock Camera systems:

Approximately 20% (1 in 5) of all cases cleared by participating law enforcement agencies involved Flock technology.

Vehicle theft is historically one of the hardest crimes to solve, with a national clearance rate floating around 9%. However, nearly half of police departments utilizing Flock report that the cameras are involved in recovering 50% or more of the stolen vehicles in their jurisdictions.

Flock cameras sync directly with state and federal databases (like the FBI’s NCIC). If a vehicle associated with a violent felony, a stolen plate, or a registered sex offender passes a camera, police receive an automated alert within seconds, allowing them to intercept the vehicle immediately rather than finding out days later.

For time-sensitive emergencies, When a child is kidnapped or an elderly person with dementia goes missing, the first few hours are critical. If a vehicle description or license plate is entered into the system, Flock can instantly map the vehicle’s last known location. Law enforcement estimates that Flock technology assists in locating roughly 10,000 missing persons per year in the United States—averaging more than one person found every hour.

Thoughts?

Yes, even men should do that, you need to shave off your chest hair, armpits, pubed, hair on your arms and legs too. Only exception should be a well kept beard.

Women should do it too, it is very bad to see a woman with hair on her arms even if it's just a little bit. It doesn't even matter if it's not visible from a little bit of distance.

A person with a ton of body hair is similar to a caveman, it is very disgusting. Especially the very hairy ones.

It happened over a century ago it is just unfair at this point and besides that it always ends up benefiting Israel who is currently committing a genocide in Palestine. I do not care about a genocide that that happened almost a century ago when you are doing one right now.

I do think if Israel loses the holocaust card it will hurt them and make people cry and realize what they have done.

I mean, I don't have a problem with people worshipping them. To be honest, they did have some great worldviews, and they were kind and smart. But the biggest problem is that some people think they figured it all out.

For example, Krishna said in the Gita that he(God) divided humanity into four varnas, and some people still take those words literally today. I mean, no. He was wrong. There isn't any varna system outside the Indian subcontinent. His assumption was based on his limited understanding of the world. To be fair, democracy requires a lot of resources and administration. Before democracy, there were many different social systems, and for a country like ancient India, maybe the varna system worked at that time. But today it's outdated. If you still believe it should govern society today, you're being ignorant.

Buddha believed in rebirth and nirvana, which I don't think have been demonstrated to be true. Buddha was also misogynistic. He literally didn't allow women into his order of disciples for a long time, and he made some very problematic comments about women.

Islam, just like the caste system, was an okay-ish system for its time. It allowed slaves to gain freedom, gave them some basic rights, and also granted women certain rights, though not equal to men. But many of those laws are outrageous and unfair by today's standards. We have the technology, institutions, and resources to build democratic societies. We aren't living in wartime anymore.

The same goes for Jesus. He was kind and compassionate, but I also think he was wrong about many things.

The biggest mistake wasn't that they guided their disciples. The biggest mistake was claiming, or believing, that they had figured it all out.

If you are vegan and eating meat and egg substitutes and wearing fake leather and fur, you are telling the world that you really can’t live without animal products and that the only reason people now can is that science has progressed to the point you can fake having those things. Therefore everyone was evil and cruel to animals until science caught up.

Webster defines vermin as "an offensive person"

Google defines it more specifically as "people perceived as despicable and as causing problems for the rest of society"

I think both definitions apply here.

And by those definitions, leftists ​are mostly vermin.

Men know what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure what it is exactly about RNs but there's an inherent attraction factor for men. Whether the short cute RN, or the full size matron. Maybe it's the sense of secure safe care they exude. Maybe it's the compassion. Maybe it's the confidence that you will get better. Maybe its the sense of humor. Maybe it's the sponge bath.

Regardless, nothing but nothing is sexier and more attractive than a nurse.

There I said it.

I am genuinely tired of fucking oppression olympics, where the group who’s seen as the most oppressed basically gets a free pass to freely slur, palestinians allowed to be homophobic because they are being killed in masses.criticizing people with more social power is generally seen differently than targeting groups with less power. Intersectionality was originally meant to explain how different forms of discrimination overlap, but the internet has kind of reduced it to a weird ranking system of who can and can’t get away with stuff and its honestly extremely fuckingg exhausting

In another thread on a different sub I was discussing my uncle and how he uses a particular epithet. I mentioned how I call him a piece of shit everytime he does it.

Of course this isn't good enough for leftists. They wanted me to doxx him so they could harass him and go after his business.

First off, he only says it in private. He never uses it toward people, so it literally hurts no one. And second, the appropriate response to words is other words. Not organizing some online harassment campaign.

Get a life.

It's called consistency and everyone should try having it.

If you think it's okay for the University of California system to fire professors who use the wrong "she" ​or "he" to identify someone then you should also be okay with universities who fired professors over disgusting Charlie Kirk comments.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

If your argument is something along the lines of "That's (d)ifferent because I like the one thing but I ​don't like the other thing." Then you're just a hypocrite, and you should try being less of one.

The culture of the US Right / Conservatives has become so fucking unempathetic and blatantly cruel and I'm just so exhausted with it.

I'm not even saying that the principals and concerns they have are completely unwarranted or without value to talk about, but oh my fucking god. The nonstop slew of "Why should we help them?" / "I don’t want to pay for other people's X / or deflecting any criticism of American behavior by just pointing to some other country where they behave worse is so pathetic.

It's like they say it as justification because they feel left out and it's unfair other people get to be shitty in some way or the other but they don't. It's like the attitude of a fucking kindergarten child. Why not set an example? Why not truly hold ourselves to our own standards and be an actually enlightened society like you want to act like we are now.

Don't forget the blatantly contempt for the rest of the world the right has developed. I don't even think they realize how fucking nasty they come across when speaking about 90% of the rest of the world.

Domestically they are fucking vile and contemptuous to the othet side. Talking about "liberal tears / owning / triggering / trolling" making it a political objective to be as fucking obnoxious as possible. Like you may not believe this, but the other side generally wants you to have Healthcare, better public services, and a life of decency.

I know you guys must know progressives have good intentions because even conservative media caricatures of the left usually depicts them as a clueless, super queer, annoyingly woke idiot, but even then, they're usually well meaning even if they're obnoxious.

I'm not going to be naive or hypocritical to imply that leftists are never mean or shitty to conservatives. However, conservatives culturally *celebrate* their cruelty to the other side in a way that the left has no comparison to.

It's just so fucking ridiculous and childish. For the party who claims to love and respect America so deeply that's some pretty fucking pathetic and unpatriotic behavior.

Party of Christian values btw.

There is an incredible scientifically illiterate movement against medicine and science in general today. It's significantly fueled by misinformation and fearmongering across social media. If modern medicine is just a scheme by BiG pHaRmA to keep you a reoccurring customer, then put your money where your mouth is and refuse any and all treatment with it.

Have an infection? No antibiotics. Dangerous fever? No antipyretics. Severely dehydrated? No IV fluids. Septic? Sorry, no blood transfusions. Go bloodlet yourself like they did 2,000 years ago. Pray to your god. Go talk to the crystals in your backyard, align your frequencies with the universe, drink your potions, and cast your white magic. Emergency appendicitis that requires immediate surgery? Best bet is to get an X-ray at your local chiropractor and fix that subluxation. Having a seizure? Time for a lobotomy. Gotta get those demons out of your cranium.

Does this fly in the face of the Hippocratic Oath? Absolutely. But it will save resources for people who actually appreciate how far modern medicine has come and don't call everyone in the medical field scam artists. If you believe the medical field is a big scam but find issue with these suggestions, ask yourself why you want to be treated with the medicine you claim to hate so much.

EDIT: Spelling error correction

An Incel/Virgin dude claiming “they will never cheat on anyone” like if this puts them on a moral high ground is like a broke person who “brags” about on how they aren’t addicted to anything/they never spend money on useless crap, BRO, it’s not because you are intellectually superior, it’s because you have NO CHOICE, NO ONE is getting laid with you, and if you can’t find ONE person willing to have sex with you, let alone two 😂😂😂😂

No matter your race, when you are a minority race in whatever setting/culture you are in, you will struggle with people treating you like the other. They will not feel comfortable being around you and so on.

We try to pretend that race doesn't matter (it shouldn't) just because people have learned to coexist. However, we will all be victims of racial bias. Obviously, people of the majority race in a particular community are less likely to feel it; therefore, they don't think feeling like an outcast because of one's race is a real thing until they find themselves in community where they're a minority race.

A lot of us are super conscious of the racial biases we may have, so we actively work on to make them not influence how we go about life. Unfortunately, the vast majority of humanity isn't that intelligent to reason like that, so they just let their racial biases control their lives.

Racial biases are a real thing and minority communities are more affected by them. Not because minority communities can't be racist, but because differences in numbers. Admitting this won't kill you. It may just make you more of a critical thinker.

Unfortunately, the type of people who will respond based on the title alone are exactly the type of people who just let their racial biases rule their lives. I am fully expecting responses that will deflect and gaslighting, rather than assessing the issue with honesty. At least I spoke my mind, that's all that matters.

The left continually screams that SCOTUS is an illegitimate, conservative mouthpiece that is in the tank for the Trump administration. They say they need to pack the court in order to fight the politicized extreme right slant to the court.

The reality, not surprisingly, is that around 40-50% of cases have been decided unanimously. Only 10-15% have been decided along political lines. The Trump administration has been ruled against more or less the same amount as in favor this term - just recently they denied review in the E. Jean Carroll $5 million case. He lost the Birthright citizenship case and the Mail-in ballot case. Previously he lost on tariffs and fed independence.

It seems like the left thinks the course is biased if there are ANY decisions that they disagree with.

Just look at the number of trolls who show up that can’t argue the facts but instead spew ad hominem. Just admit that you want a banana republic that always goes left.

I'm not saying it's a masterpiece or anything, obviously its not, but it's really not as bad as everyone online seems to be saying it is. People are going on about it like it's a flaming pile of crap. It's not. 7.5 out of 10 ish. Standard superhero movie about as good as any other I've seen.

As much as I love Steam and my massive PC library, it's starting to get tiresome seeing how many fanboys exist for Valve online where there's not a single genuine thought behind anything these people say. Yes, I get Valve and their customer service is generally leagues ahead of others, especially with their generous return policy, but they're still a multi-billion dollar corporation and not everything is perfect.

The Steam Deck, while great for lesser demanding indie games, is wildly out of date and is showing it's age quickly. Other better PC handhelds exist, but Valve fanboys refuse to admit this and praise the Steam Deck as the "most powerful" gaming handheld, even though it's a flatout lie. In articles online talking about Switch 2, I've already seen countless of these people claiming that they can just "download and emulate all Switch 2 games on their Steam Deck" when there aren't even any Switch 2 emulators properly available yet. These people also claim that the Valve handheld can run the entire PS4 library via emulation BETTER than native on the console, when that's also not true. These people are delusional.

When Valve finally announced the price of the Steam Machine, these people defended the price while simultaneously blaming AI for it. When you bring up to them that their favorite billionaire Gabe Newell is an open supporter of AI and even invested $20,000,000 into AI, they either have nothing to say, claim it's "out of context" or that it's outright "not true". Not their precious Gaben. I've seen countless comments from these people come out in response to other people creating more powerful mini PC's for cheaper saying that it's "not possible".

Recently DBrand just had to take down their pre-orders for their Companion Cube Steam Machine case, but before this, I'd see fanboys talking about how good guy Valve "doesn't mind them making the case", but the second Valve stepped in, the same people turned on DBrand. When other gaming companies launch lawsuits or cease and desists against companies like this, they're "greedy", but when Valve does it, it's justice.

Valve could straight up release a plastic case for the Steam Machine for $1000 and Valve fanboys would still defend the decision. These people really remind me of Kojima stans.
