I’d say “the religious who want to inflict their superstitious idiocy on others”, but I think you’ve already covered them with those two groups

Let them whine

I call them “the handles to use when turning his face into a puddle with fragments of teeth”

Antivaxxers are a particular type of filth

You’re either disingenuous, or stupid

There are no ethical billionaires. They get there by shitting on people and exploitation of the vulnerable

It’s a peculiar thing

Very American

I want to work as little as I possibly can. I have plenty to do with my life and making money for someone else isn’t important to me

Well, you just outed yourself as a part of the problem

If you’re constantly being accused of being a creep, I’m going to go with the simple answer

You’re a creep

It’s amazing how I’ve never had this problem, and have many meaningful connections with all sorts of people

I don’t have your faith in the American people

I see that tragic poem of “first they came for” unfolding in real time

I see a nation who like you say, are beaten down

But I also see a society which celebrates being selfish, so I don’t think you’re capable of banding together, even when it’s obvious that you should (ie. a few decades ago when Regan was in power)

It doesn’t help that America is a deliberately stupid country

Land of the free

But only so far as it allows idiots to own firearms,

To kill children, not actually rise up against tyrants

Can’t hold a burger and a rifle at the same time, huh 'Murica?

Yep

Those who didn’t vote against it were perfectly happy to have it happen

They just want to claim a moral high ground that they don’t deserve

Stop sniffing your own farts and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

Yep

Plenty of psychopaths and sociopaths amongst them

Lots of very bright people support the right wing of politics because they stand to personally gain

Being smart doesn’t mean that you’re ethical or capable of empathy

Still less stupid than “the bible says so!” when they clearly haven’t read it

Or anything…

Sure, but perhaps take solace that we’re less deliberately hateful and that stupidity isn’t celebrated as it is among the arch conservatives?

Now the rest of the world can do the rest of the vapid cunts

People are already dying because they’re rationing insulin

People are dying from perfectly treatable illnesses

People are dying of malnutrition

People are dying because of needless violence

People are dying at the hands of the law enforcement who are supposed to be protecting them

I think the people are so beaten down that they are utterly cowed, and will do nothing

America was never brave, it was always a bully, within and without.

This is deliberate

Keep people on the edge of ruin, and threaten their healthcare if they dare leave an exploitative employer

Slavery never went away in the US, it merely expanded to include more people and was rebranded as “the free market”, or “rugged individualism” or some bullshit

Trump told a lot of stupid, hateful people that their bigotry and ignorance weren’t merely justified, they were righteous in their beliefs

He told them that their hatred made them better than the people they fear

He promised them that he would hurt the people they dislike, and they’re hoping that they’ll get to hurt them too

And too many people in the US are stupid, ignorant, afraid and full of hatred

It’s harmless

Most importantly, it’s done with consent

It gets terribly misrepresented in porn
