  • the whole genocide thing

    No informed voter thought Trump would be better for Palestine than Kamala. Remember, people say one thing publicly when their private reasons are actually less popular.

    The conservative Muslims who claimed they loved Palestine voted for Republicans because they are conservative. They are using the Palestinian people as political pawns, just like Hamas. They share conservative values with Republicans based on cultural issues. They differ on the justification for it, but they are all supporters of hierarchy. Same with conservative Latinos.

    It’s not popular to say “I like hierarchy and I want to be on top”. Many supporters of hierarchy claim they love “individual rights” when they really want privileges for themselves. That’s the reason why some people love the “Bill of Rights” but hate equality.
















  • It’s better to be lucky than good at something. But there’s a major difference between starting out middle class (or working class) and starting out wealthy.

    The people who started and developed entire companies clearly had some skill. Massive intelligence isn’t necessary, but they were not stupid. If they were stupid they would have already blown all the money. Compare what happens to lottery winners and you will see what I mean.

    The difference is, future generations that inherit are more like lottery winners: they have no idea how to grow the money left to them. Plus they have no concept of staying under budget because they have always been rich. This is worse than a lottery winner because they already have an expensive lifestyle to maintain.
