The 2024 Omnibus Political Memes Thread

Me keeping what I earn is not making things harder for anyone. They are not my children, I never had any obligation towards them and have not deprived them of anything that was ever theirs to claim.

 

You are not a victim of your own laziness, champ.

 

What does that have to do with two individuals raised in vastly different circumstances not having the same advantages?

If you’re talking about welfare and individuals needing help and forcibly paying via taxes, I’ll pay your share of taxes for welfare if you pay my share of taxes going toward a war neither of us believe in.

 

Because people are too easy about blaming the consequences of their choices on circumstances beyond their control, as a way of dehunanizing someone with resources they want to seize.

"It's not my fault I chose to sell coke and rob a liquor store. I have a hard life. Also, that guy over there has it easier than me, so I should get a pass on my behavior AND take his stuff."

 

Those people are dismissed anyway. No one takes those arguments seriously. Also, when speaking of inequality, those are not the people of whom they are speaking either.

 

Not sure who "they" are, but individual circumstances and personal accountability don't seem to be popular points in a discussion of "inequality. " The level of discourse is usually "wealth is villainy, poverty is victimhood, individual merit is irrelevant. "

 

Perhaps for the people with whom you discuss things. But, when “I” speak of inequality, I’m referring to advantages my child doesn’t have but children of wealthy people do have.

It’s not about who has more material possessions, it’s about the ability to accumulate them.

Sure, some poor people are poor because they do not have the mental capacity to obtain a high paying job, but mostly intellectual capacity isn’t unique to poor people. So, the advantage isn’t intelligence.

Anyone who has ever worked in fast food knows that’s harder work than sitting behind a desk, so hard work isn’t an advantage.

It’s about the things money can buy. Tutors, paper writers, heck even bribes. A poor man rapes a passed out woman and he goes to prison. The son of a wealthy man rapes a passed out woman and his future is threatened so he’s lawyered up, he has a marketing team feeding the press, he has a tailor fitting him for clothes to look empethatic to a jury.

THAT is inequality.

 

Tweedle dee and tweedle blowjob need to get to the fucking sex so the rest of us can see some memes.

 

Or maybe just mind your own fucking business. Look. He’s just not that into you. It’s ok, you’ll find someone right for you soon. Then you can talk to him or her whenever you want.

 

As a poor person, I don't want your money. Like you said, you earned it, you should get to keep it. Hell, you should probably be paid more than you currently are.

On the other hand, all the companies saying "we have to cut pay and benefits; times are tough" out of one side of their ass and "another year of record profits" out of the other. I want their money.

 

All day every day.

 

Is "purgery" what I think it means or a typo (perjury)?

 

I don't know, I guess one of us wasn't so rude as to assume his dietary habits, shootER.

Seriously, though, yeah, probably a typo.

 

Since he was a cop I was thinking more like

 

Allowing cops to wear their Army ribbon boards on their cop uniform is fucked up.
