BS.. look at green new deal.

A Job Guarantee with a living wage salary for every American.

Doesn't say anything about handouts or not working!


How is that different than cronny capitalism? And the greentarded new deal was more than just that. Don't forget jets banned (LOLOLOLOL).

My "point" is that even the homeless in America, have more "wealth" than most of the world, so the OP is whining. America's homeless have access to resources (shelters, food, free clothing) that the rest of the planet's poor can only dream about.

Weird. You appear to be agreeing with the OP (that those poorer than you in the West have it easy - those lucky poor people who might get free food from a soup-kitchen, not like those virtuous poor people elsewhere who nobly suffer the way poor people should) while at the same time calling the OP a 'whiner'!

You seem very confused indeed.

The left has brainwashed people into thinking having to put in effort to achieve is bad and to stop before you even try, simply play the victim and blame those that are in a better place in life. The Democrats just continue to lower the bar and use that for votes by pointing the finger at those that don't buy into their bs. This is still the land of opportunity, make good choices and put effort in and you'll do fine in life.
This character is crossing the line from willful ignorance to offensive idiocy

Another leftist tactic, hear an opinion you don't like, claim it is "offensive." Tell me, what was offensive about my post? Sorry you have to hear some truth you don't care for, but the left has people fooled into thinking they cannot achieve, it is useful for them to keep people scared and angry.

Your job guarantees ended when Nixon went to China, Reagan got the Democrat congress to pass Trickle Down, and Clinton signed NAFTA while Americans were brainwashed with the plantation owner mentality that price only matters and cheapest is best especially on the backs of others in foreign countries working under conditions like those of America's pre-union gilded age past.

You want living wages, healthcare, and good jobs with good working conditions, then reach in your pocket pay a little more and demand that the products and services are made under the same conditions you would want if you were working there,

anything else is a virtue signaling feel good sham that has become par for the course for most Democrats today who are no different than republicans when it comes to the ever diminishing middle class.

Exactumundo!

We have gotten screwed over the last 50 years of corporate Trickle Down Economics. The FORMER middle class has become the WORKING POOR!

It's time we revolt and change the system.

Or we can just listen to the GOP/ Trump talking point.. you need to work harder and immigrants are an infestation (look a squirrel).

If 'the left has brainwashed people into thinking having to put in effort to achieve is bad,' as you say, then why are the liberal cities and the blue states where most of the hard work and achieving takes place in America? Why do people keep running away from the conservative rural areas and towards the liberal areas so that they can find work and opportunity?
It's funny how your words and observable reality are always at odds with each other. And how you're always playing the poor victim by pointing blame at this 'the left' for your own lack of success.

The offensiveness is your baldfaced lying, full of nothing but namecalling and obviously false bullshit.
If you would like, I'd be more than happy to mimic your own posting style back at you, using the same kind of lies and mischaracterizations towards you that you use on others.

BTW, your recent absence from these forums, were you banned again? Or just doing another 30 day stint in the county jail?

What a stark contrast between Asian attitude and ours.

Theirs:
Work hard, focus on education, not blaming/envying the rich for their lack of financial success.

Ours:
Endless welfare and entitlements, it's always someone else's fault (usually the rich, white people).

It's funny that at least 2 of the posters who liked this post live off government entitlements and their problems are always someone else's fault (usually poor, brown people).

I didn't lie or call anyone a name in the post that is in question. I said that the Democrats have brainwashed people into being victims but the truth is anyone can achieve in this country by making decent choices and putting in effort. A leftie got "offended" by that (LOL).

Ok then, answer my question above. If the Democrats have brainwashed people into being victims, as you say, then why are most of the jobs, opportunity, and achievement in the Democratic-voting areas of the country? While the people in the Republican-voting areas bitch and moan that they can't afford to live in those liberal cities?
It must be because the white male is the really victim here, right? Because you're always whining about how the 'real racists' have victimized the white male through their victim culture. And you're always complaining about being victimized by immigrants, and PC culture, and black 'thugs' and antifa 'thugs,' taking away your jobs and your free speech, and got you quaking in fear and terror.
In other words, idiot, what was 'offensive' about your post is that the hypocritical clown here who is constantly whining about being a victim - YOU - is finding yet another excuse to play the victim, by blaming the 'victim culture of the left.' So it wasn't offensive in an actually offensive way, but in a 'holy fuck he must think we're stupid to believe that bullshit he posts' way.

One thing has nothing to do with the other (I'm certainly told this here when I mention how the highest violent crime rates are often found in blue strongholds). Jobs concentrate where there are more people, obviously. That doesn't change a thing, watch the Democrat campaign ad I have in my sig, she gets it. The leftist mantra is that you are a victim (unless you are a white male, then you are privileged) and cannot achieve because the system is too hard and complicated... so go have babies at 17 with to-be absent fathers and blame the system for holding you back. The Democrat way.

As an Asian and child of immigrants, I do wish white Americans with an agenda would stop using us to dehumanize other minorities.

It's the classic privileged to non-privileged tactic of saying "look it's not us, it's actually you".


Privilege! A perfect example of being brainwashed into being a victim right above.

Is this you?

Can I ask which liberal institution of higher learning did you attend?

Let’s not forget taker States vs Giver States. Taker States are heavily Red States.

Do I talk like a fucking victim to you, buddy? Do my words sound like victimhood to you?
You might want to consider stopping listening to morons on youtube who 'get it' by telling you what you want to hear, and giving you more lies to troll on social media with, and start looking at the real world around you.

No, people are only victims if they want to be. But... did I ever tell you about the time I did not get a job for being a white male..?
Thanks for proving my point. Let me guess, some gay black Asian transgender illegal alien Muslim took that job from you, amirite?

I just have to laugh at how ignorant they are that they can't even keep their stupid bullshit straight, like ever. They ignore how much of America's "Greatness" came from stuff they're raging about (like science and learning, you know the "liberal elite"). Hell, even though they rage about factories bet the conservative clowns on here either would be unwilling or unable to work in pretty much any that wasn't them just shoveling literal shit.
