Bros i'm starting to get pessimistic about the economy. It'll get better, right? I'm still holding out on hope it will but my paycheck is getting its ass eaten every week.

I'm at the point where I just want the bottom to well and truly fall out so we can move on, instead of this mediocre shit being propped up for years on end

Because it works for them. By portraying every issue from troons to RINO Supreme Court justices as a literal life or death struggle against the far-right, they mobilize their base while consolidating their gains as they continue to shift society leftwards in their cultural revolution. That's why a "moderate" today would be far-left just 15 years ago and Trump is just a 90s Democrat who failed to get a programming update.

A Jewish guy owns the factory I work at. We’re small and nobody gives a fuck about our opinion on anything, so he’s not some global elite, just a regular millionaire. With inflation, he could pass for upper middle class and he definitely doesn’t drive anything that would make you think otherwise.

We get treated pretty well considering what factory work is generally like. We don’t even have an official attendance policy, it’s like you have to prove that you’re a shithead to get fired and they’ll give you the benefit of the doubt if you have a medical emergency or whatever. Just don’t make a habit of poor attendance.

The owner even has a background in engineering, so he’s not clueless about mechanical issues. You don’t get impossible edicts handed down from on high. So, sometimes I get bothered by the “evil Jews control the world” stereotype. My boss is a good boss who deserves loyalty.

The thing a lot of Jewish conspiracy people don't want to admit is the reason they're over-represented in elite circles is because their mothers endlessly browbeat them for being anything besides a doctor or lawyer, and the issue is retarded disconnected elites, not the small hat tribe.

A lot of the blame the Jews get should more accurately be put on the Anglo-Norman nobles/upper class. Literally the governments of the UK and the US are teaming with them and they have devised some the most deleterious bullshit to the human race ever devised and have been doing so ever since the 1200s really. Most Jews are either normal enough folks, retarded Ultra-Orthodox Jews who do stupid shit like the fucking Chabad caves stuff and retarded activists that suck Anglo dick. There are the Rothschilds and George Soros, but that's about it in terms of big Jewish movers and shakers. Plus, they associate with these self-serving Anglo types too so they aren't exactly breaking the mold there.

Whatever reality they live in, there HAS to be Olympics level of mental gymnastic to dispute ANYTHING against their perspective, no matter how insignificant or telling it may be. It's eerily scary to experience. Same thing with the verbose between "migrant" and "illegal immigrant" or what qualifies as a "recession." It's manipulative gaslighting to distract common sense between what is actually happening around us. I feel crazy having to second guess myself of WHEN and HOW words mean something else now.

Xirs experiencing homelessness deserve compassion, of course. Otherwise you are a bigot, and you don’t want to be a bigot.

Either way, I’m thinking that both sides are hoping that a militia doesn’t kill a crosser who turns out to be a criminal or a POS.

It will almost certainly be fed plant(s) dressed as a militia member(s) will kill a crosser. As almost every non-communist nonbughive American had it drill into their head to not fire the first shot even to the point letting themselves be killed instead justifiably defending themselves in these situations. Although Rittenhouse had to have missed his software update as he refused to let himself be killed and instead defended himself.

That's the idea i got since he focuses so much on his character and not his policy

It's cognitive dissonance. Destiny "knows" that Trump is an evil bad nazi fascist monster idiot doo doo head. But he also knows that Trump's policies were economically sound, anti-War, pro-working class populist stuff that is only extreme in the sense that the left considers even 0.001% deviation from their deeply held (nightly changing) beliefs on the political left pole -- where all directions are rightward -- to be extreme right wing views.

He can't believe both at the same time, minds don't work that way. Your mind, even those with brainrot like Destiny, has systems in place for resolving logic errors. And while you can steadfastly ignore this system, it tends to cause system issues as your mind steadfastly tries to fix the issue until one way or another, it does. Headaches, odd mood swings, minor mental illness, breakdowns... This is one reason why you "become more conservative as you grow older" because the longer it goes on the more likely you're going to give up / change one of those beliefs, even if they're core lefty dogma beliefs, to resolve paradoxes. It's also weaponized by the progressives -- ever seen a normie leftist flinch and fall over themselves in response to being called racist/sexist/whatever? This is why.

So how do you square the circle with Trump if you both believe he was a stupid monster and know his policies were if not good, then at least better than Biden? "I don't care about his policies I just don't like him." The dissonant mind literally recoils at thinking about it too deeply. I see this all the time with boomer friends and family members -- they will literally recoil from talking about his policies (which they know were good / at least better than Biden) and flip to "I just don't like him."
