So for not wanting people to be literally enslaved you are profiling me as a straight white middle class male. Wow.
No, for not wanting those nut jobs to split off and do their own thing, leaving the rest of us to enjoy life… that is why. Am I wrong?
“Empathy” hah.
Their own thing is oppressing people. We should stop that much as far as we have power to , and if we can force them out of the union that's likely from a position where we would.
You would allow the people in those states to be oppressed just to make your own life easier. Yes, you are wrong
You’re a man and middle class. You live in Chicago. You work for a big company. You have a car. The only thing in question is your race and sexuality. Rolling the dice on sexuality being heterosexual. So you’re not white? I could scroll more and find out, but just admin it’s all true.
And if you were a heterosexual middle class white male, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend why I want them not part of my country.
You're a moron. Of course you want to expell the horrifying bigots. However, leaving those left there to die is not good. I work for a big company??? Yes, I do. As a part time worker, the fuck? Target employees also work for a big company, does that make them have money?
Having a $3k car does not make a guy middle class either.
I am white. I'm saying that your logic in reasoning as such is ridiculous.
The cost of your car doesn’t mean your household isn’t middle class. Lots of people with money don’t waste their money on cars.
