I mean even just outside the baseline bullshit of capitalism, prohibition passed with like a 10% approval rate through the theoretical democratic means. Turns out the system is pretty easy to gently caress with if you know where to pull levers!

Got to thinking today about how MAGAs pretend to DESPISE "big government"

But...um...they don't.

Aren't a huge aggressive military, supporting the death penalty, building more prisons and a strong militarized police presence the epitome of this concept writ large? Or having ones day in court and being able to defend themselves being tied to income level? Mandatory drug tests being tied to welfare and EBT? Wanting to jail reporters and political enemies plus suppressing the free press...?

Also, executive orders are seemingly just super A-Ok now. 48 per year for Trump vs. 34.6 for Barrack Obama - and most of Obama's were milquetoast wishy washy sort of poo poo as well as being ordered during his second term once he (loving finally) figured out that Republicans refused to even vote for their own legislation if it was him proposing it.

Almost like they're hypocrites or some such thing.

The GOP LOVES "big government"

Abortion rights being hammered away, voting restrictions, executive privilege, ICE detention camps, cops acting as jury, judge and executioner...marines and preemptive military strikes, torture, waving due process, racial profiling, executions by the state, theocratic law...

That IS "Big government", isn't it? All the stuff the founding fathers supposedly fled from that they pretend to worship. Just none of the poo poo that, you know, helps people.

it's a very effective campaign slogan for uniting the traditional republican coaltion

to the wealthy GOP donors "small government" means low taxes and regulatory capture
to the blue collar chuds it means "states rights" which in turn means rolling back civil rights for minorities

all that other stuff about executive orders or whatever is just poo poo they throw at democratic presidents for political points

Did you miss the mass protests for their rights to infect people with c19, not mask up and get their haircuts while carrying weapons in government buildings while waving Freedom Flags and opposing such tyranny?

I WORK with people that think this all a government hoax and who passively aggressively view the concept of wearing facemasks as a symbol of oppression, even though my company has mandated it.

They don't want less tyranny or executive power, they just want it applied differently. Ur fuckin seatmate isn't opposed to government control lol, he'd vote in an instant for everybody to be forcibly converted to whatever sect he is at gunpoint.

�Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

Yep yep yep. Power and goodies for me and my social group, grinding oppression for everybody else. When stated bluntly, it's a hard sell, so Conservatism as an intellectual project is built around obscuring this truth, which is where you get all that hand waving about Burke and Hayek and Oakeshott and "limited government" and the "free market". They don't actually believe in any of that stuff, it's just noisy nonsense to distract you from their real agenda. It's why their stated beliefs are so contradictory and why pointing out their contradictory beliefs never changes them.

i can't tell if this dude is a chud per se, and it looks like his FB account is either deleted or hidden, but what he did was still pretty dumb:

quote:

A California man posted his regret on Facebook about contracting the coronavirus after he attended a party in June. A day later, he died from COVID-19.

On June 20, Thomas Macias, wrote an impassioned message on Facebook in which he lamented ignoring social distancing guidance.

"Some of you may know, but most don't," Macias, 51, wrote. "I ... went out a couple of weeks ago" and contracted the coronavirus.

Macias, who was a truck driver, expressed guilt for having possibly exposed his family to the virus.

"Because of my stupidity I put my mom and sisters and my family's health in jeopardy," he wrote. "This has been a very painful experience."

"Hopefully with God's help," he added, "I'll be able to survive this."

He died the next day.

quote:

Lopez said that sometime in early June, however � after Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated that he would loosen social distancing restrictions � Macias attended a party in Lake Elsinore, about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Afterward, a friend of Macias' who was also at the party contacted him to say he had tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, Lopez said.

The friend told Macias that he was aware of the diagnosis when he attended the gathering but that because he was not showing symptoms, he did not believe he could infect anyone else.

quote:

He was tested for COVID-19 on June 16 and received a positive diagnosis on June 18. In his Facebook post two days later, Macias implored people to take the coronavirus seriously.

"This is no joke," he wrote. "If you have to go out wear a mask and practice social distancing."

He was rushed to the hospital at about 11 a.m. on June 21. He was put on a ventilator sometime from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and died by 9 p.m., Lopez said.

the article made it sound like he was being supposedly responsible during the lockdown. but the moment newsome easing the restrictions, he decided to go out and party. part of me wants to be compassionate, but...WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? seriously. jesus loving christ people, just say at home and don't go out unless you absolutely need to.

Now, Oklahoma might be doing it because they�re cooking the books, but it�s not a real hundred percent positivity rate.

Sounds more like just some unplugged normie who made the mistake of listening to millionaires when they say stuff like it's okay to have parties now if they aren't too big because they're too afraid to say "you need to die because we are out of money for UI and Congress has said that now that wall street is fine their job here is done"

Like we take it as a given here that it's obviously horrible and our leaders are genocidal maniacs, but if you just listen to normal news or word of mouth, yeah you're gonna think poo poo is normal again and fine. Well, you would've when this guy was dying at least

I was picking up takeout curry last night and there was a Chud there talking to the owner of the restaurant. He was going on about how the government controls the media and the deep state is faking Corona virus and blah blah blah. The owner was pretty good at keeping a straight face up until he looked at me, then he finally laughed. I felt bad because the customer got annoyed at the owner for laughing.

From my days as an imperialism scout, I respond to serious threats by immediately escalating and clamping down fear reactions until after the post-hormone letdown, but I�m large, white, and apparently-male enough to give CHUDbrains pause.

I�m also a loving fool because I�m not wearing 60 pounds of gear, carrying a loaded rifle, officially immune to local laws, and backed up by at least one but more likely three other, similarly equipped folks with shittier attitudes than mine, and now I have kids. Nonetheless, there�s got to be at least one person as stubborn and reckless as I am, who has a similar perpetually-barely-controlled anger problem, per major metro. If you see one of us in the wild back us up, but never let any of us doing our brokebrain bitching goad you into provoking or stepping up to one of these motherfuckers; if you�re in a place where it�s an idea you ought not just reject out of hand, you will be sure of it.

i'm going to have to correct you on this. to be clear, masks are not 100% full proof. the whole premise is that you just reduce the amount of droplets in the air if you do have it. and that when you sneeze or talk you're not just spraying the atmosphere with your dirty infected droplets.

the guy who was 50+ and had diabetes and went to a party. he hosed up because he didn't socially distance. his friends are the ones who hosed up by not wearing a mask.

and oh yeah he also hosed up because he went to a party with chuds who wouldn't wear a mask even after being infected with covid-19.
