there was no doubt in my mind the second I read the article. there are a LOT of descendants of Cuban slaveowners living in america. that are bitter their family had to give up their slaves they don't consider themselves as Cubans either. they were really mad Cuba went against slavery.

It was a bit like those racist scum who dreamed that Taylor Swift was secretly on their side. Conservatives wanted to believe deep down that Colbert was pulling a subversive double-cross where he was secretly turbo-owning the libs by pretending to be a conservative satire.

Because ultimately conservatives really, really hate that they're so goddamn poor in social capital and want all the big, rich, popular people to be on their side.

It's really a problem with stupid and ignorant people. Republicans constantly claim they care about the troops and Democrats don't, even though Republicans send them to die in pointless wars and refuse to give them raises. And people are stupid and ignorant enough to buy it. They pull the same trick with coal miners and "persecuted Christians". People just listen to the jingoist rhetoric and ignore the actual policies.

I'm not a businessman, but even if a thing you bought has made you more money than it cost, it isnt an appreciating asset if it itself is worth less than you paid for it.

I'm assuming the printing press for the newspapers I worked for have been paid for several times over but the press itself is antiquated as gently caress and probably worth 10% of what the owners paid for it 40 years ago or whatever.

Have you ever talked to an army grunt that votes R? They are straight up brainwashed. I had an army buddy tell me, "when things go wrong, all the grunts will support Trump, no matter what.

Well ackshually.... technically I think an "appreciating asset" is just one that is increasing in value. So if you buy a Tesla for 100k, and it drops in value to 20k, but then the next year it's worth 21k it's "appreciating". Doesn't really say anything about whether it's a good investment or anything like that.

But yeah Musk's claims there are totally incoherent.

That's actually like a really salient point. Why do those companies that make commemorative plates sell them? If they're going to increase in value so much just hold onto them. They'd have a virtual monopoly on Dale Earnhardt bicentennial plates so...

I'd like to think that there's a bit of a split in that ideology in the armed forces, and that more reasonable people, a resistance to killing your own countrymen, and leadership influence will prevent this from happening.

fwiw a lot of vets come out of the service as socialists and also more than a few as honest to god anarchists, it's just that that doesn't fit the mold of what the media has conditioned people to expect from Are Troops so if you aren't a flag humping chud on exit you're almost entirely ignored

i had an hourly once I hired out of the Rangers who I turned into a socialist (not commie tho, alas, not enough time) who admitted that a big part of the reason he was receptive was because I was the first person he engaged about politics after they found out about his background that didn't immediately bail once he started asking questions.

Not like "have you considered the Marxist analysis?" mind you, but like "why aren't we seeing better jobs being made despite giving big companies trillions?", they'd just shut down and disengage lol. He said it frustrated the poo poo out of him

also worth noting that the troops are gayer and browner than the population as a whole because the primary driver of recruitment is forcing people into it by denying them any other options and making them desperate

Cubans are the only people who can't illegally immigrate so if they get all mad about "illegals" they can probably go gently caress off.

Also a lot of the cubans that fled were really bad people
