    I’m selfish. I want people educated, housed, and cared for so they don’t rob me.

    I don’t want to dump sewage in the river, so I can drink the water when I visit down stream.

          If conservatives manage to get rid of all trans people the IT industry will crumble

      If being educated and housed and cared for was enough to not rob me, my employer wouldn’t be trying to steal money from my damn paycheck every month

    The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

    Do you have any idea how bad caring for people and the planet is for the economy? China will destroy us if we don’t focus on profits!!

    It really is alarming how quickly some have shifted to the hard right. Even previous lefty friends have drifted. Sometimes I feel like I’m going insane.

    right wing rhetorical brainwashing has made them internalize every single mindset that isn’t “every man for himself” as communism. they don’t even know what “communism” means, and they don’t need to. their puppetmasters don’t want them to know. all they need to know is that it’s anti-america and it needs to be eradicated from the earth

      These leftists are so anti-Christian for wanting to… checks notes… “love your neighbor as yourself.” Never heard such anti-Jesus teachings in my life.

    If you really want to piss people off, try adding “…and animals” to the list of things you care about.
