    No one is afraid, cut the bullshit you morons.

    Politicians invent narratives that prevent us from having these: immigrants, lgbtq guys/rights, climate change, not enough/too many taxes, gun control, china winning ai race, literally any war, threat of war.

    And then let us fight each other over it.

    Literally what's going on in your head

    oh but climate change is real, why are you flagging this. To what I want to reply: yes it is real and I hate you too

      The political spectrum is actually kind of diverse on this. I’ve argued with right wing irl with opposition ranging from “without some people being in poverty we can’t properly reward hard work” to “poverty is divine punishment for sins, iresponibilty, and wickedness” to “Id love that, but we can’t afford it because [fake narratives]”.

      I say this as someone who also has to argue with people that people may need to work harder or longer because we aren’t in a healthy state of the economy and that may include cutting back for some of the “middle class”. Yeah, we need fair taxes and we have to deal with the wealth gap too of course. That would help A LOT but I don’t think it’ll solve everything

      You’re giving people way too much credit.

      Some people are just always hateful and afraid someone will do what they did to others.
