Why is this Administration so intent on self-harm?

[UNCjigga]

The latest example—let’s discourage millions of undocumented workers (most with legal SSNs) from filing and paying their taxes going forward. But hey, don’t worry, we’ll just make up any budget shortfalls with those tariffs on shit-hole countries amirite?

I.R.S. Agrees to Share Migrants’ Tax Information With ICE

The agreement is a major departure from the Internal Revenue Service’s efforts to gain the trust of migrants and encourage them to file their taxes.

Because they are fucking idiots thats why.

This is the everything gets worse administration because all the people inside it only want things to get worse for everyone all over the place.

There is no positive event that could come out of this thing. It is a black hole.

They are both deeply stupid and evil.

I’ll have to dig around a bit, but I thought I remember the whole “IRS sharing data with ICE” coming up during the first Trump presidency, and pretty much everyone (GOP, Democrats, Trump advisors, Fox News etc.) said this was a horrible idea or against the law and that it should never be seriously discussed again.

Because the plan is to either move to Mars or Greenland whatever is most likely to be possible, and leave the debt to the rest.

Trump's frontal cortex stopped developing when he was three.

I think the confusion here comes from the idea that the assumed goal of the administration is to make things better for the average person. I don’t think that’s true at all.

Attacks on immigrants are a good way to expand police powers to be used more generally. Tariffs are good to establish a patronage scheme where loyalty to Trump is what matters.

If you look at it as an attempt to establish a dictatorship it all makes perfect sense. No 4D chess necessary.

America's BDSM phase.
It will make you a man!
It will show you what true love of America truly is!
Don't forget to say thank you for the pain!

It makes sense for other reasons too. Americans today are too stupid to create a functional democracy. They have been so brainwashed to buy things that are useless meaningless based on artificially created feelings of inadequacy that the inadequacies have become real. People in general can’t think for themselves or have any common sense about what is best for them. Ask your doctor if a fountain of youth Trump pill will cure all your ills. Be a part of the happy crowd.

Happiness is freedom from the bewildering complexity of choice and just doing what you are told.

There is more than one way to escape antisemitism. You can always be Nazi rather than a Jew in the eyes of others. But when his usefulness has faded and the Reich has been fully restored, I’m betting he’ll be cleansed just to be sure.

I think at this point its sort of full circle A nazi is a jew is a nazi is a jew is a nazi is a.....

Intentional economic collapse to buy up distressed assets is the argument I keep hearing.

Except for the lapdogs in congress, they continue to grovel at his feet, suck his toes, and lick his boots.

I'm not sure they are actively seeking to make things worse. I think they're just genuinely stupid and think there should be no harm "opening up the living space by knocking down all the load-bearing walls".

There's one thing about chaos.. it's FAIR!

MAGA will get their FAIR SHARE OF THE PAIN!

No, they won't be getting their fair share of the pain, because their fair share is being diluted as it's divided up among the innocent who never voted for this administration, and never wanted it. MAGA's fair share would be 100% of ALL of the pain with zero going to the innocent.

Touche!

True enough.

Humans do not primarily use reason.
Absent that very specific training, fantasy rules the day. We burn witches. We see dragons. We slaughter each other.
You are witnessing a counter revolution against education, against science. Against anything and everything that made us more than cave men.

Unless they are stopped by force, and subjugated, this will be our end.

I have focused for the last few years warning Liberals not to let that happen to them. A becomes a conservative by the same means, We become what we hate, we hate what we fear. Nazism is a potential of the human condition made possible by duality that is the product of thought and language in turn. Asking people to focus on their own inner schism,, their conscious vs unconscious behaviors, has won me many friends here.

People are too egotistically attached to their anger to pay any attention. They want someone to blame, pointing always to other asleep machines.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

This is a perfect example of the inability to think. Using force and subjugation is exactly what those cave men are thinking. You have just self identified as living in a different cave. You are what you eat. You become what you fear. Listening to you people will wind up murderers or among the dead.

There can be worlds of difference between imagined and real imminent threat.

His only worth might just be his vote. The pockets of most are empty, hence the need to hide the sense of failure with rage.
