I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.

Funny that the state sponsored media mentions how low gas prices "cooled inflation," as I just witnessed gas prices increase by 40 cents a gallon in just a week.
And they of course will always claim that it just all these individual factors driving inflation rather than money printing. But what can we expect from the direct media arm of the state?

One thing that strikes me about conspiracy theories is that they aren't coming about because people are becoming unmoored from reality but because they've lost trust in an establishment that isn't interested in the truth, isn't interested in fair play, isn't interested in following the rules.
In such an environment, rumor and conjecture becomes the way we try to make sense of the world. I've seen it in non political contexts when a workplace doesn't have good communication but people need information to try to figure out what decisions to make. Obviously some of the conspiracy theories turn out wrong or are self-evidently wrong, but as the song goes: "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you" -- many of the conspiracy theories end up being totally correct.

And no doubt many of these so called "immigrants" or "Americans" are here illegally. Even if we assume that were not the case (and I cannot assume that), how can anyone argue that people are not coming here for welfare when Medicaid is exactly that, and the state-run media (fuck you NPR that is quite true) is lamenting that people who do not know English well enough would be unable to figure out how to deal without. Last I checked, if you are born here, you should have no problem with English.
I recall hearing a segment on NPR about how Medicaid access was going to be rolled back based on Covid rules no longer being in place. One of the concerns was for people who did not speak English very well not understanding things.
If you have a brain in your skull, you should see something very wrong with this picture. That being what are presumably first generation immigrants doing coming here only to be using welfare? Don't tell me we should be importing people who are a drain on the system.

Real treat after finding this account. Maybe it’s parody but it’s fun to see the insane, neurotic roastie from HR in her never ending COVID-spiral

@blacklight What bothers me about people like you is that you think our beliefs come FROM the GOP to begin with. You think we’re following it for guidance and leadership because you do it with yours.
See, you don’t really have any beliefs in a vacuum. That’s why your morality has been shifting all your life. You get updates to your beliefs with every advert, every sanctimonious front-page reddit thread, and each condescending, shame-based imgur meme. You were never rooted in a spiritual belief set that’s immovable, constant, and enduring. Everything you believe is just a timeline of pop-culture celebrity causes as each one saw an influx of advertising. You lack conviction in all of them, they’re like socks. you take them on and cast them away when you get the next pair.
Our beliefs are like bone marrow. And that’s why you’ll never ‘get’ us. We don’t care about trump of the GOP as guidestars for our life. They’re just tools to bring to pass the world we want to live for our children. (The greatest, most important aspect of our existence, after all, is our family. We look past ourselves.) As tools, Trump, the GOP, every silly mainstream political apparatus you are familiar with are woefully inadequate for our purposes. We want a hammer, and at best they’re a crumbling brick.
But even your blunted, bugman instincts pick up on that. You see us reach for a busted brick and your ever-attuned fear instinct prickles at the base of your brain. “Oh goawd….they’re looking for a hammer.“

Posting this again, as I am making it a tradition to post it on Easter.
Excuse me. What? Why is there a church in the same building as a synagogue?

Almost 10 years old, but it still applies. This anon is correct about the Muslims being more reasonable than the western progressive leftists. They are certainly the better option, so if I have to choose between the two, I will side with the Muslims.
Not saying I would be happy about the end result, but I will take their harsh but consistent rules over the incoherent standards of the left.
