successful businessmen have two drinks then rant about how Hillary should go to prison for Benghazi. almost the entire party is fully radicalized on the same talking points regardless of class or wealth.

also people tend to not guage how they're doing in absolute terms but I'm relative ones to other people they know. as long as the gop rockets some people straight to the bottom, their average voter only knocked down a peg or two might become relatively happier since their relative social position actually improved. increased inequality can increase happiness for some even if it makes things worse for most in objective material terms.

I read a couple accounts from surviving branch davidians and the most amazing thing about it is even the total true believers didn't find koresh remotely likable. that's not usually how cults go. the general take seemed to be "man it sucks that that guy happened to be the Messiah who we must obey" also unlike other cult accounts I've read the davidians seem completely normal and boring in every way. just completely regular people. it's all super freaky that normal people and a not even likable cult leader can go that hard

Epic High Five posted:lol, as a demographic and down to a man they're all isolationists sitting on a stockpile of guns and ammo and usually prepper supplies, basically post-apocalyptic loot crates for any organized force be it good or evil, it's just that nobody is coming for their precious metals specifically related, I used to worry leftists didn't have guns. then I realized if it really kicks off, leftists can just follow the nearest spotless 4 door pickup truck home and with minimal effort get full access to a suburban fascist's arsenal of basically new-condition weapons

etalian posted:I'm surprised that the clawback is even legal and how the banks seemed to comply no questions asked. my guess is the paychecks bounced. when you get a check it takes days for it to actually clear, the immediate balance you see in your account is actually effectively a zero percent interest loan. to control the risk of a check bouncing, often banks prevent withdrawal of the full balance until the check actually clears, but if the depositor is trusted, like say a long time big company, maybe the bank will say "no chance this bounces, allow withdrawal of the full amount." so mechanically what happened is the depositor promised to pay customer X, the bank tells customer X they have all that money when in fact they don't yet, customer wthdraws that money, depositor then says "lol psyke" and then bank goes "lol psyke that check was never real" to the customer. to the customer, what it looked like was a claw back. effectively it's the same from a customer perspective though.

I think Carter is probably to the right of Obama. Carter birthed us the proud democratic tradition of privatization and deregulation.

you have to be at least ankle deep in alt right Internet lore to understand why "soy" is supposed to be insulting. it's the same to understand what they actually mean by "cuck," but not knowing that at all it still means "someone is having sex with your wife" which is an age old insult and probably a better insult than what alt righters actually mean by it (you like the wrong kind of architecture or something)
