I see you all over Lemmy being shitty. Blocking now

It sounds like you are making excuses for ppl. enjoy that ✌️

We should absolutely call them out on being hypocrites. These are people who vote against their own interests and against anyone’s interest who isn’t a billionaire. They do not care about the waste until it’s spent, ironically, helping poor people. But if a Republican wastes trillions on war or even raises their taxes, they’re as quiet as a mouse.

I wish it were as simple as you say. Republicans would never make into office again. But you’re entirely wrong about that simplicity

I’m not sure what your point is, but to reiterate, mine is that people are selfish and I think that’s a bad thing. I can’t tell if you think it’s a good thing or what.

The US spends money in awful ways. But these people don’t mention better ways to spend it. Only that their taxes are too damned high. they have no problem with billionaires paying a far lower percentage than they do…

Holy shit this is so true.

I am with you on this. Also when the effort requires feels so small relative to other situations, it hits me worse too

I agree this is a problem but I don’t think it’s more often than not.

Yep! And any examples of countries to have high tax rates but spend well are outright ignored. So annoying!

Yeah I feel you. Americans think that they’re allowed to park their dodge ram on a sidewalk because it feels “unsafe” to park on a suburban street 20 feet away. God forbid their chance of being sideswiped is non-zero, because who cares about pedestrians or disabled folks.

I say this as an American. A lot of us are bonkers-selfish.

Yep constantly! perfect example yesterday. Was waiting in line for ice cream. Some young girls ahead of me in line were talking amongst themselves. Worker tries to ask them what they want twice. The girls were completely oblivious to her or seemingly to the fact they were in line. I felt this worker’s pain but supported her reaction of rolling her eyes and then quickly proceeding to the next customer.

We obviously all have lapses in awareness but yeah it does sort of feel like it’s so common it’s endemic and maybe on the rise. Living in a touristy area accounts for some of it but even in the off season it’s crazy common here.

Welcome to 2014 my friend

Being obtuse and abrasive for no reason other than to intentionally shit on someone should also be a reddit thing that is limited here. It’s hard to believe an adult capable of finding whatever weird X character that is could somehow miss what that person was doing…

BoTh SiDeS again. Cheers

Said every troll ever. No shits given

Lmfao!! No problem knowing you voted for trump with that level of pitiable auto-fellatio

The only reason I am fully confident in hating the right wing with a passion is that I spent more than half my life enveloped in those garbage attitudes.

I probably have more experience with the common right winger than a troll like you. Thanks though

The problem is actually that conservatives can’t think a moment outside their own experience. Everyone less powerful than you? Oh they deserve their place. After all, they’re probably cOmMuNiSt anyway

Lol people who disagree with me are all jobless. Yeah dude everyone here totally believes you’re a critical thinker who drives a Mercedes

Probably not as miserable as it is to have to spend all your energy pretending to not see how your political ideas have fully doomed humanity to drive itself extinct
