republicans are so easily swayed by culture war bullshit.
republicans aren’t concerned about school shootings, healthcare, homelessness, food insecurity, or income inequality.
But mention pronouns, Bud Light, or “Happy Holidays” and republicans lose their fucking minds.

Oh, but, it's far more than that.
Culture war helps one feel superior by belonging to whatever the "right" side is. And believe it or not, in the USA currently an entire party's political agenda and manifesto are entirely culture war pieces. Nothing else

Ironically also what republicans are saying but they replace elite with (((elite)))

To be fair Breaking Points has spouted its fair share of Anti Semitic tropes. As well as straight Russian propaganda. Ryan Grim isn't a good dude. The intercept is probably one of the main reasons Elon bought Twitter lol.

While I hate the far right because they’re often literal nazies unfortunately I did notice a recent uptick in antisemitism from the left, I’m a leftists so I talk with other leftists a lot and even before the current major conflict I’ve been seeing a lot more anti semetism both from the people I talk to, sometimes with really old school anti semetism like Holocaust denial.
I also unsubscribed from quite a bit of YouTube news channels for spreading misinformation about the Middle East and the current war that was really easy to disprove, which only helps the Iranian regime.

Just go back to jerking off in a cup to impregnate employees and destroying your companies, Cissy SpaceX.

Yeah, Musk hopes those dummies fight over dumb stuff while he gets his tax breaks.

Elon, your foreheads too big, and you and culture don't belong in the same sentence.

Musk is the proof that at a certain level of wealth, there should just be a ceremony to celebrate your accomplishment and get an award for “winner of life,” after which you don’t have to work anymore and you get to keep all your money to that point but after that any further proceeds are taxed at like 98%. Adjust the amount of the goal line periodically for inflation and shit, but just avoid letting so much of the economic fuel be under the control of one person or hoarded from everyone else.

Interesting question from someone who is not a native born American. Interesting because he seems to fuck whoever he wants, anytime he wants.... No matter what he has promised in the past. interesting because he wants all kinds of freedom for himself, but none for me. Interesting because he is someone who has very publicly used IVF, but now he backs the pro-life candidate? Interesting because when one of his own children explored the freedom that he so publicly touts, he immediately rejected his own child and publicly shamed and vilified her.
What do I think of the culture wars Elon? The opposite of whatever you fucking think.

Divide and conquer. Elites have been using this strategy for well over 2000 years.
It's depressing it still works.

u/OptiKnob Oct 06 '24
Weird. It's only a "culture war" when the wealthy rant about it.
The poor call it basic survival.

Ryan would have stuck that comment right up muskrat's arse, except muskrat's arse is still stuffed with the gold bars he stole when he became a refugee from African democracy.

The real culture war is between the rich and poor. The one concerning race and ethnicity is a distraction.

Well it’s worse than that, because it redirects the anger of millions of Americans toward LGBT groups.

If there was a culture war it would be god fearing, country loving citizens vs a ton of woke pussies who probably don’t know how to use a gun. Who do you think will win?

That’s pretty much what right wing politics have always been. Finding some way to justify why certain people have to go without. Occasionally right wingers will have valid critiques of some policy or something but they almost never offer real solutions because their overriding goal is upholding the status quo.

The number of down votes I got is equal to the number of people who don't get how currency works, then complain about rich people, WHILE THE RICH PEOPLE THEY SUPPORT ARE THE ONES CAUSING THE PROBLEM, THEN PRETEND TO FIX IT BY MAKING IT WORSE.
thank a teacher for your level of brightness.

Liberals have made everything more expensive with their free money printing policy and teacher have made everyone more stupid by not teaching how economies work.
If there's more money it's worth less.
The current state we are in is because of spending money on people not bright enough to realize teachers are what made them so stupid I'm the first place.
Scar cit teeeeee dominates currency. Reeetaaard.

It’s what Republicans need to motivate their base because they don’t have any policies that are supported by more than 30% of the people…
