These aren’t some rinky dink operations, these are huge shell companies housed in office buildings with cubicles employing hundreds of scammers. It’s part of an organized crime syndicate, and somewhere along the line there’s some near-billionaire and a number of politicians behind the entire scheme. That’s what they mean by the nebulous statement of it being “transnational.”
Latinos subscribe heavily to the machismo personality = good, and that any threat against it is a threat to their existence. They are raised religious with heavy incentive on strong family structures, something that conservatives use as a weapon to curry favor.
Asians tend to be extremely conservative, particularly Chinese immigrants. They grew up in an authoritarian world, and view the progressive policies of the West as antithetical to their own. They don’t care if Trump is a racist, or blames them for the Kung Flu, because he represents their views on what a government should be.
Stop calling them conservatives. This level of ultranationalism has fascist written all over it.
The both sides message is particularly insidious because it takes a real criticism and then equates it with something that is potentially much worse. It does nothing but limit options, and breeds nihilistic cynicism and nothing more. The worst part about it is that it is based on an absolute lie: the idea of both sides being the same doesn’t make any fucking sense, because in this world nothing is the same. If it was the same, it wouldn’t need to have a distinction. It’s an argument against progress, and therefore a wholly conservative viewpoint in that it states that rather than choosing the best of the two options to not bother at all. To stay the same, or even revert.
It’s totally dystopian and reminds me of Russian propaganda, which is designed to erode faith in everything, so that the people in power can make the decisions while the people feel helpless.
You could have Trump come out and say it to him directly and he wouldn’t believe it anyways. Your friend chooses to believe what they believe the way a fanatic believes in their delusions. It only serves to reaffirm their belief structure, and nothing else. If Trump pulled a 180 tomorrow, these people would simply claim that he has been brainwashed or that he’s a paid imposter, or anything else.
They are aggressively stupid. They would rather take the whole ship down with them, than admit they might be wrong.
You just need to do more drugs
I dunno about all that. He wasn’t exactly a beacon of intellectualism when he was young either.
The song was basically a diss track aimed at DMX among others. Not sure if you were being sarcastic and knew that, but just in case you didn’t. The previous section of the verse is “Motherfuck D, Motherfuck M”
He didn’t get the name Gore by gently massaging his enemies
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but the internet is serious business

This is pretty awesome. Looks like something from a fucking spaceship.
This will make you go hmm until you take .1 second to think about it and realize that Twix wouldn’t offer more chocolate for the same price and neither would any other company, for what amounts to a joke a 12 year old heard from his uncle in the south.
The picture always has the dark Twix broken and added to a longer piece to make it appear longer. Your main clue should’ve been that the packaging is the exact same fucking size. Your second clue should’ve been the break at the 1/3 mark of the dark twix.
I’m swinging back in the other direction and refusing to serve rednecks and people with navy suits and red ties.
Have you seen how much sugar those hicks put into their tea though? It’s gotta be hot because they put coca cola grade amounts of sugar, to the point where it wont dissolve in the water anymore. Sweet tea contains 36-38 grams of sugar per 16 oz. That’s a fucking soft drink.
It should be taxed on the corporate side. Taxing sugar on the consumer side becomes a poor tax, because poor people will still want sweets from time to time, making those treats now more and more expensive. Well off people will just accept the tax because it’s marginal to them, but when your chocolate bar that you treat yourself to once a week goes from 1.29 to 3.29, then it really fucks your day up.
What should be done is incentives to provide less sugar/glucose-fructose on the product side and encourage companies to make snacks and beverages that have less sugar content.
They will never collect. This is like busting a guy selling grams on the corner, releasing him the next day and claiming you’ve shut down the entire drug running operation.
