It should start with “MAGA,” because we have valid reasons to hate them
DukePhelan
If my neighbors weren't such idiots that they were fooled by an obvious conman bent on self enrichment and the destruction of the republic I might give a shit. Being a useless pawn to a system of corruption this makes you guilty in your part for it crimes.
Arenlor
My neighbors are MAGA. I'm not being tricked here.
Emjayen
You can't trick the willing. This idea that conservatives and the right-wing in general are victims is the same decades-long theme of coddling behaviour that led to fascism in the first place.
clonedeeznuts
Not just that. They are literally gaslighting you at every level and angle
DavedandConfused
I have neighbours across the street who are the most horrible people on the planet, don’t need to be tricked to hate them.
Everyone else on the street is pretty ok 👍

A lot of my neighbors are far right christian bigots who support a fascist pedo, so yeah, I kinda hate them. Anytime they want to back off that shit a bit, I'll stop.
Lampmonster
Yeah, it's not a trick to make me hate people who knowingly elected an adjudicated rapist who had multiple lost cases against his companies for racist practices who brags about assaulting women on camera and who took out a full page add trying to get the death penalty for a group of black kids and then doubled down when they were all vindicated.

No I'm not.
Scahrossar
No, not really. My neighbour is a cunt that threatened my cats. Nothing to do with billionairs.
Roqinn
Ha! I hate everyone!

Christians' own faith has been weaponized against them into bigotry and anger and hatred for anyone even slightly different from them.

all misogynistic religions are this, every religion that doesn't balance the masculine/feminine, is lopsided and doomed, goddess nature religions are this way too
Whitebeardthepirate
and it will never change, because why would they stop using something that isn't broken? ignorance and stupidity is now the majority in today's world.

I still like that quote from men in black.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
You might be able to sit down and change one person's mind with facts and evidence. However if they are in a group they won't listen for fear of being outed by the group and going door to door deprogramming people isn't practical.

This one is closer to accurate (assuming every cookie is worth $70k), but it would need to be several times larger for Elon specifically.

But I said "eat," not "kill." /s

By the way: The picture shows the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer; there is no such person as “Abraham Arthur Quinzelle,” and therefore the quote does not exist either.
dirtmarker
All true. Are the words wrong however?
AdmiralButtStuff
Fact you all need to start accepting: within the context that phrase is meant: people hated their neighbors long before billionaires existed. This isn't a Culture War to stop us from fighting a Class War. It's fucking both. Winning one may go a long way toward helping us win the other, but it won't automatically win it.
jakedafish
My neighbor is a super nice guy; but also a hardcore Zionist.
AdmiralButtStuff
Then he's not a super nice guy. He's only pretending.
jakedafish
Probably

Americans have culture?
AdmiralButtStuff
Har har. This is a tired joke, tbh. Culture is our biggest export, or did you think it was just a happy accident that almost all the world's biggest movies, bands, stores, restaurants, brands, etc... are American? IDK where you live, but I can almost guarantee there's a McDonald's within 20 minutes of you. I bet you've had a Coca-Cola.
firlefranz
What's the difference between America and a yogurt? If you leave a yogurt sitting for 250 years, with a little luck, you might end up with a culture. /s
ilovebigmutts
Corporations are culture...that tracks.
AdmiralButtStuff
Their products can be, but okay: baseball, cowboys, Rock and Roll, the Blues. Hip Hop, hotdogs, stand-up comedy, barbecue, motherfucking blue jeans... That better?
ilovebigmutts
Baseball is derived from cricket. Gauchos exist is South America, people have been riding animals before cowboys. Blues are slave music so ill give you that one. You know slavery and america. Therefore RnR and hip-hop come from slavery. Hotdogs the meat no one wants. Also derived from brats and wursts. Stand-up comedy, court jesters. Barbecue? Seasoned meat cooked over a fire... blue jeans, you mean the denim fabric first produced in 16th century genoa Italy? Do i have your attention now?
