The fact that it even extends to community service makes it fudgable. Not enough work hours? Go volunteer at a soup kitchen, or church, or literally anything and you get your bennies. The problem is people are fucking lazy.

i understand the irony of using this meme lmao

I honestly feel like this could possibly cure a lot of people of their depression by forcing them to actually use their precious gift of life to do something than goon
 
Do you also think it's "ironic" or "happenstance" or a "meme" that Donboi is heavily connected to techbros who have unironically written we should have a surveillance police state headed up by a CEO/King/etc?

Come on. You use Yarvin terms in this chat, @Mister Fister. We know it's not a tongue-in-cheek joke
Fine then, Warhammer 40k is a far future dark fantasy tabletop setting that’s very popular with the younger right. The main faction is called the imperium. Think of Catholic Space Nazis and you’re basically there the other factions are worse.
 
Yes, you've caught us, we're all working with Thiel, building underground armies to raise Donald Trump to the status of God-Emperor. The divisions of these armies are called Chapters, and we wear a lot of armor and robes and call each other brother and cousin and we're planning on purging heretics, mutants, and unbelievers with flamethrowers and maybe those new fancy 30mm grenade launchers Barrett cooked up.

With respect neither of you answered the criticism I made. It's fine tho. I've realized it doesn't matter.

Imagine thinking Donald Trump would actually take good ol' Moldbug seriously. I just assume Yarvin's still on his grift because he wanted to fuck the art hoes who hang around the Red Scare crew, especially now that Dasha's theoretically off the market.

You took well known, decade old meme and took it seriously and when that was pointed out you did the pivot and slide the goalposts to something completely different. Given that, why would anyone actually take you seriously?
 
A massive reason everyone's health care is so bad these days is because of your boy, the Mocha Messiah's Affordable Care Act fucked it all up
That's fucking bullshit, you don't understand just how bad healthcare was and just how easy it was to be denied coverage or dropped before 2010.
they're the party of endless gibs for [the poor].
See, the fact that you've actually bought into the last 40 years of Republican propaganda that any aid to this country's poor is "gibs", meanwhile they've spent the last 8 presidencies continually fucking over the middle class to enrich the rich is the fucking problem with this country.

Republicans since Reagan have tricked people into believing all of their problems come from the bottom classes and not from the higher ups who actually pull the strings. This bill is going to cause stagflation on top of the oncoming recession, but that doesn't matter because they might do a few more shows of deportation theater for Fox News.
we mostly want 1. The Illegals Gone and 2. Are perfectly happy play by the rules Team Blue has been using to, to put it politely, bend Team Blue over a barrel and fuck them in the ass to death, politically not literally, we don't want to catch GRIDs.
>we mostly want [culture war bullshit]
Nothing about improving the healthcare system, nothing about improving the education system, nothing about reducing poverty or improving the economy or anything that actually materially helps the American people, just petty grudges.

I can see how easy it is for undocumented migrants to hide from ICE, you faggots let them stay rent free in your minds 24/7, fully willing to allow the GOP to rape and rob you blind for the next generation as long as it might slight them.

Trump's Supreme Court has greatly expanded the power and depth of Executive overreach, don't be surprised when the loopholes he's added are used against your side after 2028.

JD has referred to and quoted Yarvin's work approvingly. Elon is Paypal mafia. Come on. If you're going to do propaganda, please do it better.

You’re just pissy you can’t have your slaves.
 
Elon doomed his political aspirations when he called drumpf a pedo. No one is going to trust you for shit when you turn on a dime and spaz out like a tard.
No kidding. No one wants to work for someone who turns on you like that. At least Trump is simple: don't stab him in the back. People conflate this with "OMG YOU HAVE TO WORSHIP TRUMP!!!" but we saw in the Telegram leaks that Vance voices disagreement with Trump, but doesn't turn on him or try to supplant him. This is actually how most cabinets work: people give the President their opinion and the President makes the ultimate decision. For whatever it's worth, even Obama did this. There are many who worked in the Obama administration and said the guy would listen to their advice or criticism, even if Obama ultimately chose to pursue a different policy. It sounds like the only modern presidency where criticism was truly verboten was Mr. Autopen.

It's almost as if people don't like you if you act like a conniving little theater kid.

That's the rub (tee hee): people are addicted to gibs. Communists convinced several generations that everything comes from nothing and the government should provide everything. It used to be "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Now it's all a bunch of lazy assholes who don't understand how the world works.
 
I really don't see what the issue is with 80 hours of work/community service/training a month is to get medicaid for able-bodied adults. That's only 20 hours a week. I just don't see how that's so much to ask. The bill explicitly exempts disabled people from being ineligible so all of these 'disabled' protestors who are claiming this bill is taking from them are just outright lying.
the work-shy do not appreciate it when you tell them to work
 
Trust me if you think people aren't going to find ways to get out of doing shit like this while still receiving gibs you have not been to a social security office.
I actually have! Well at least wherever you had to sign up for food/insurance help. At least in the state I'm in when you're on gibs they call you very often and give pretty embarrassing interviews and ask for paperwork to see if you really 'need' it. I've had to give paperwork to my bosses to sign make sure I wasn't earning too much so I could still qualify for gib insurance. Wasn't the most fun thing in the world

I assume it will be the same but reverse- making sure you have done enough. Granted, people will just sign it for whatever and fudge numbers but it's better than nothing at this point.
 
nothing about improving the education system
The only way that the education system in the US is going to improve, is to get all levels of government out of it while simultaneously axing at least 50% of administrative jobs in it and trashing all "teachers" who can't pass basic knowledge tests in their fields (protip: this is most of them). US education has been controlled by the left for the past 40+ years, to disastrous results.

We're one of the only Capitalist industrialized countries that does not have public health care. We have no safety net for poors. The rich shipped all manufacturing to China and let the former manufacturing centers OD on heroin.

You gotta quit blaming communism on capitalist problems.

Exactly: people are going to fudge it anyway, but this makes it at little harder. People in poor towns can hang out at a local church and get the hours for community service.

Axing administrative do-nothing jobs would go a long way.

That's what a communist would say. Nice try, Wang

And the removal of common core, it is a known fact that the introduction of common core has started the decline of test scores throughout history. Kids are not learning what they need to learn anymore they're just learning basics.

I do hate Yarvin and Bronzed AIDS Victim and the entire sphere of jewish pseudo-intellectualism that permeates a small fraction of rightist discussion online, with its cathedrals and longhouses and other impracticable luxury theories that only really count as shibboleths for their subculture, but I don't remember the God Emperor meme being originally promulgated by so-called Dark Enlightenment types. I could be wrong, but I remember it as just a part of that air horn, nimble navigator milieu you'd see in 2016 debate compilations.

how does america "not have public health care" when medicare and medicaid are like 25% of the federal budget
 
This is Reddit-tier understanding of American politics. Do you not understand what caucuses are?
Insofar as a voter has any input, it's either red team or blue team.

Good, I don't want to pay for the medical expenses of every subhuman retard too lazy to get a job.
