It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.
Then, when people don’t want to work for shit pay, they cry that “nobody wants to work anymore”.
Not just conservatives. My stepdad is far from being one, but he lives in a fantasy reality where "no one in the 80s made a living or supported a family working fast food or running a register." (I paraphrased a tiny bit, but this is a near-direct quote from him.)
In the 80s we were already on this path to severe underpayment. He was being fucked by the system already, it just wasn't as obviously destructive so he took it with the lube they provided and said thank you. Now they can't admit that's what happened because they would have to admit were/are idiots getting willingly fucked by the business.
I mean they really, very obviously, do go in for conservatives. It’s their whole fucking thing.
Seems like you are making his point for him. The people being funded in these articles are all conservatives. Some are Democrat neoliberal conservatives, but they are still business-class conservatives, regardless of party affiliation.
Conservatism is a plague of oppression that benefits the wealthy.
I'm not trying to attack you at all. My apologies if it came off that way.
I am pushing back on the common idea that the majority of Dem leadership is non-conservative. The establishment Democrats are neoliberal conservatives who align pretty well with Reagan on most topics. We don't have a viable progressive party at the moment, unfortunately, so we're stuck with diet-conservatives in the Dem party and the few progressives within the party.
Ok, I retract my apology. May you find your conclusion swiftly.
Conservatives are a plague long overdue for a cure. I may not be able to meet you on a battlefield, but I will be sure to think of you for a moment while dealing with a local. It's my little gift to you. Don't say I never gave you anything.
You're right. I'm just a pussy. And a socialist. I would never.
