Right wing "Libertarians" in a nutshell:
The housecats of politics. They desperately want out of the house and don't understand that they're just an appetizer for the wealthy without regulation to protect them.
They want to be free to exploit others. Or at least dream that one day they might.
Freedom! To be exploited and repressed.
Um, aktuly you're only repressed because you choose to be. I'm free because I'm going along with the repression to make money.
Cops that like to wear Punisher merch. Humans are by and large idiots.
I mean, it fits a country where saying "Long live the King!" is rebellious.
Americans be like “we need guns to oppose tyranny” then use guns to install fascism and threaten the most disadvantaged people in society.
Leftist gun-guy here.
No fascist will ever be aided by my gun ownership. I just wish the rest of the left wasn't so insistent on disarming themselves.
replace Americans with literally any conservative
Same thing.
Nothing more rebellious than getting on your knees and doing what you're told.
Outback restaurants put it best: "no rules, just Right".
Kansas just issued new license plates to everyone and one of the designs is a "Don't tread on me" flag so I've been seeing a lot of them on exactly the vehicles you'd expect.
My dude... You bought that from the government... To register your vehicle with the government... To drive on roads maintained and regulated by the government... Who do you think is doing the treading?
RumpRules! ait, aat? uck.
The cops and YOUR boss. My boss kinda sucks but I think yours will take care of you if you just work hard
I'm reading a book and the author made the observation that Sarah Palin and McCain were sidekicks, partners, and Maverickstm
Fuck the police
Wooooow.
Not wrong.
But woooow
I think the thing about Americans is that we won't go halfway with anything. I think that once things flip and people start revolting, the violence that we will see will be SHOCKING. It is just going to take a lot to get to that point. A significant degradation of the daily quality of life. So far we still have bread and circuses, even if they are expensive.
Fuck yeah! Gonna listen to some Unknown Mortal Orchestra rn!
So weird. I've never heard of Unknown Mortal Orchestra but I went to check them out on Youtube and I found a link to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert - which Youtube is showing me as already having listened to.
Maybe my sample isn’t representative enough, but I literally don’t know anyone besides maybe my extremely conservative grandfather who agrees with that.
And they're the most scared too.
