State of The Union February 2024

Because his mother would yell at him for not buying himself a house and getting out of her basement.

More projection.

If you bought the house, how could he not keep it?

And why do the majority of people in a Housing First program do better than other folks in other social programs?

There it works better and happens to be less expensive than all the other social programs.

Just so uneducated and indoctrinated.

Seriously, you remind of me when I was 17, 18.
I’m not sure if that should be more embarassing to me or to you. Not that you’re afflicted by emotions such as embarassment, judging from all your posts.

I volunteer at a food bank and an animal shelter. I attend protests. Because I’m not buying properties for the homeless that makes me a hypocrite or not serious about the issue? You remind me of those fools who think personal recycling is what is needed to cure the issue vs, the corporate entities who like to push off the responsibility to the public.

So when did it all start to go wrong with you?

You are this.

Like skin poop.

Stop being that.

No you don’t. You also make shit trading currencies.
You’re a basement dweller. You reek of mold so bad we can smell it through our screens.

I think it was around the time I cast my first vote, in the Communist Party. So at 18 years old.
I bounced back, though. With age comes responsability, with responsability comes wisdom.
Key word: Responsability.

You don’t need to constitute a family to become a responsable adult, but in my case it certainly helped.
Too bad you never had the opportunity to raise a family. You might have become a responsable adult. A productive member of society.

Sad!

My read on you is that you’re a failure in general, poor (not necessarily mutually exclusive), full of excuses and too weak to forge a life you want while you wait for handouts and get mad when there isn’t more to take.

Being on the other side of this fence isn’t indoctrination, it’s understanding the world we live in and getting on top of it. People who do this likely would’ve done it in other eras too. It took drive and risk to settle new territories, personal effort to bend nature to will and harvest food and on and on. And even in ancient civilizations around the world you had markets full of business owners, tradesmen, farmers & producers, military and govt reps et cetera.

I’m not sure what scenario you’re imagining but you are your own problems. It’s almost like you’ve convinced yourself that you have so much special knowledge about how things should be and how absolutely wrong other well-adjusted happy people are that you’ve lost sight of the reality of how much of a loser you are.

You really should take a look in the mirror and try to be genuinely honest with yourself.

Then go get a job, or begin lining yourself up for a good one.

:man_shrugging:t2:. Mission accomplished?

I mean, some people never get that far. At least not without some serious substance abuse.

It’s hard to acknowledge our failures, especially if we are defined by them. I just feel like a paradigm shift could help this dude put his angst in to being better, and if channeling anger is a guide he could be an animal.

Man, you don’t understand, do you?

Don’t need one, like you.

What you understand is the world you are told to understand. Just shadows on the wall. While the whole world is beginning to turn their backs on the U.S./Israel, you probably are beating your chest singing Toby Kieth ā€œwe’ll put a boot in your assā€ All the while thinking you understand. No what you understand is propaganda. Not the real world. So if you don’t want to face up that you are living and understanding a world that was created and fashioned to further the interests of those who own the world, that is your choice. Or maybe, you could question these sources and begin to understand how the real world works and why it works that way.

How would actually being ā€œforā€ the working class look?

Would it look like inflating the currency to decrease the value of what the working class currently owns?

Would it look like increasing the minimum wage to take working class jobs and replace workers with machines?

Maybe it would look like environmental regulations to decrease the independence of the working class by making it harder to afford and maintain efficient, individually-owned modes of transportation.

Would it look like helping art majors get out of debt for choosing to go to school and party while the working class worked?

Give me some pro-working class policies that you can think up.

Are you collecting social security?

I understand. Im not criticizing. :+1:

What I know is the world is full of a finite amount of resources, places, attractions et cetera. With enough money you can have or experience virtually any of them you want. You can get that money.

Or you can yell about the Illuminati on t-nation.

Knock yourself out.

Not breaking a strike for starters.

Do you actually think machines are currently in competition? The reason robots aren’t being used is because they are not ready. If they were ready to every business owner, they would already be used. Anything for another buck.

And what are the causes for inflation?

Plenty of other countries have free education. The ones who don’t are much lower than the cost of educating in America. Why not us? Profits is the answer. Fuck people over and make as much money you can and fuck any consequences. Who cares if others have to suffer financially you just made another buck and that is what counts. Me, me, me and more me.
Worker co-ops/ unions, options for free public education. This would be a good start. Surprised the RNC actually had on a top union rep. but then again, what will they do? Will they enact policies that are pro-worker? Doubt it. What they will do is enrich themselves and their corporate donors.
So people go from 1 criminal political party to another. Sad.
