Okay, but if literal Caucasians from Caucasia don't count as white, then wtf does white even mean.

If Caucasians count as white, then Iranians are white. A lot of Iranians are also religious and right wing too. The average Republican and the average Iranian would agree with each other on nearly everything if they could somehow have a conversation without divulging their country, clothes, and specific God.

Wait, are you saying that action was taken to prevent shooters from entering legislative buildings to attack politicians? Oh boy, I bet that means that the same or similar action has been taken to prevent shooters from entering schools to attack children.

No? Well whose job would that be? Those politicians, huh?

Well then I guess this is gonna be as normalized as school shootings until they do something to meaningfully reform gun control.

What a fucking ghoul.

"It's a tragedy that this happened to anybody, and it's a disgusting attack on the fundamental tenets of democracy that this happened to elected leaders."

Was that so hard? Go ahead, staffers. Copy and paste that. Apparently it's better than any of you can do.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm pretty sure he's going to a theatre to see a play at some point soon. Maybe tonight? I don't think it's a comedy, but there's an opportunity for somebody to do the funniest thing possible. Double funny if their name is Mario.

The deeper cost is that there are way fewer white collar do-nothings tampering with frivolities to justify their paychecks. That and subsidizing tech and infrastructure (including EVs) like any responsible country would and should do. It's the sort of investment that any dipshit who's played a Civilization game should be able to comprehend.

Capitalism trusts corporations to invest in the right things for the future, but they're not thinking about 10-50 years from now. Their goal is short term profits. Show growth for the next couple of quarters. But really they're just trying to not get eaten by a bear, and you don't need to run faster than a bear to achieve that; you just need to run faster than the guy next to you. Chevy and Ford have done a decent job competing with each other, but they'd be blown out of the fucking water by BYD, and that's why they're tariffed to hell and back in the US.

The oligarchs demand a new generation of laborers. How can the shareholders be confident in infinite exponential growth without an ever growing pool of labor and consumers? Never you mind whether anybody is prosperous enough to afford to be consumers. That's an issue we can wait until next quarter to worry about. By then, we'll have laid off half of the laborers and replaced them with AI.
What's that? If everybody is laying off laborers in favor of AI, who will be left to buy our products and services, you ask? Lol idk, my job is to just make line go up at all costs.

If Elon were smart, he would've just shut the fuck up and quietly enjoyed his hundreds of billions of dollars instead of jumping headfirst into culture war to prove what a funny edgelord he is.

They say "we need to expand our tent" but they're only willing to erect tent poles on the right. Everybody left of center is left out in the rain.

How dope would it be if the future were that AOC is the moderate, establishment Dem leader of the House uniting further left Dem reps with other moderate reps like herself. Because in reality, she and Sanders are pretty centrist, but they're painted as extreme far left because the wealthy are afraid of how effective they are.

Pastor Deborah Dallas wrote a book called Nothing But The Truth, and the only reason I know this is because I get half a dozen calls every day from people trying to get a distribution deal or film rights. For years. I used to tell them that they have the wrong number. Now I just don't answer my phone. Every call from them gets blocked and reported. My number is on the do not call registry and I've never invited these fucks to call me.

I even got a text from a church one time asking if I was gonna make it to the upcoming Sunday service. I said idk, I got a lot going on right now. They freaked the fuck out on me lol. I told them to be more Christ-like, and to also understand that your plans will never supersede God's plans. Then I gave them Bible study homework for being rude to me.
That was a fun interaction.

Okay, but on a timeline measured in years instead of quarters, it's really fucking stupid to punish the factory that churns out engineers for your war machines, right? The government funds STEM education, yielding STEM experts, yielding STEM productivity. Stop funding it, stop making STEM experts, vastly reduce STEM productivity. Pair this with massive reductions on immigrants (and torch the economy to lower desire to come here also) and how does this not lead to brain drain dark ages and empire collapse?

Is it more complicated than this? Am I missing something? Because usually when somebody thinks that everybody else is a fucking moron, they are the fucking moron, and I'm worried that maybe I'm just such a dumb fucking moron that I can't see what a dumb fucking moron I am.
