We can’t say the F-word on Lemmy?

That’s retarded!

It’s super easy for me to see because I grew up with two liberal, academic powerhouse parents. Mom taught high School English, dad taught sixth grade math, science, and PE.

If I pretended my red neck conservative neighbors were black,

The ones living next to me, growing up in the 90s…

If you heard the way my parents talked about them, and didn’t know they were white,

The way they shit talked those m*“”“f*”“”""s…

You would call my parents the biggest most racist pieces of shit of the planet.

Liberal Bigotry. Left WIng Fundamentalism.

It’s a real thing.

Google “Puritans” and read up.

But don’t worry. You can always go back to naively sh*talking twitter…

Because the point is… The world is not black and white.

No seriously, guys.

Musk talked about Israel, they tried to cut his ad funds.

He gave them the literal middle finger,

And exactly one week later, ya’lls Lord and Savior, John Oliver, does an exposé on what a terrible person he is, and how we “cool kids totes don’t luke twitter any more”.

But don’t worry. Not ONCE does he actually discuss Elon Musk’s argument. Not ONCE. Never ever. But Mr Oliver wasted no time calling him conservative and stupid.

Cancel culture playbook:

Call them conservative (Elon Musk’s increasingly libertarian comments!)

Call them stupid (look at that dumb fighter pilot jacket! Lol what a tool!)

And don’t EVER EVER talk about their side of the argument.

Ahahahah already raking in the down votes.

Tell me, did you research Keynesian economics and the gold standard before you hit that button?

Teehee. Didn’t think so.

(I know you’re reading this, person who hasn’t voted yet. Lol).

It’s true that Zen Masters rejected all religions, and that Gautama was an illiterate Prince who did a bunch of dumb stuff before promising others he could bring them eternal happiness…

But the whole “friendo. 🫥” thing?

Why y’all gotta patronize?

I want to retire every 7-10 years. I definitely hope I can still work hard beyond 68.5 years young.

The advantage of a self-employed mindset, I suppose.

Because not everyone is a Liberal Sheep.

"Elon Musk said something against our plans for Israel… Better cancel culture him quick by shit talking his platform (that he stole from radical leftists).

That’s an armchair rebuttal. When one is forced to economize, sh*t gets real. I’ve slashed and slashed and reduced my luxuries and expenses exponentially due to drastic changes in my income. It’s amazing how little I need to survive, even after I think I can’t cut my expenses further.

Point is, we can always AFFORD it… 10% of my income goes to me. Doesn’t matter if that’s a thousand bucks or ten cents… “People can afford it”, but they still don’t save.

And likewise, we “young” can see the importance of retirement.

The REAL PROBLEM,

Ahem,

Let me just grab my professor stick,

The real problem is Keynesian economics.

AKA, what happens when the government is no longer on a gold standard?

Smart people exploit the social impact of a free market. In other words, “we’ll protect you from the pandemic, here’s a bailout!”

…"oh noes, rapid inflation? [Because of our bailout!?] Don’t worry, we’ll bail “you” out again with a gas bailout!

…“never mind that this literally caused more inflation in the first place…”

TL;DR play some cryptofad games to learn the differences between The Traditional Gold Standard (Bitcoin) and The “Gold-like” Standard (USD etc).

The Tru™ TL;DR:

People don’t save for the future because $20 under my mattress is worth $15 tomorrow. Because, you know, “inflation”, aka smart people taking advantage of the masses not knowing how inflationary tokens work.
