The other thing that I'd add to this is that, post-pandemic, a lot of people have felt the pinch of shifting economic realities. A lot of decisions from years and decades past that have masked the costs neoliberal policies and corporate cost cutting have come home to roost, and it has left people feeli g stressed out and resentful.

They feel their quality of life and standard of living starting to slip, and they see the injustice of the system supporting their bosses, their landlords, and their banks, but not them. And they see who's currently at the wheel.

Because of this, they also grow increasingly resentful towards discussions of people who need help. They feel like no one is there to help them as the world shifts around them, and yet they have smug culture warriors telling them that they're worse than Hiitler for not thinking of people they'll never meet, half a world away.

Trump and Milhouse will not help them, but at least they will not tell them that they are not deserving. And that's more than what they perceive Democrats, the Liberals, or the NDP doing for them.

I don't know if I'd like playing a Thaumaturge, but I think I'd love playing with a Thaumaturge. I feel like I could do a lot with a real bullshit wizard.

Thanks (and thank you @Metz@lemmy.world for asking). I was hittin' Google trying to figure out why this was a sentiment, other than just because CAD, and it was just returning what I already knew: CAD is BAD.

It gives them the moral and legal right to do whatever it is they're doing. Don't you know that your* signal light is a magical "you have to let me" charm? And by "your" I mean "just theirs".

Obvuously, they took the eagles!

No one is arguing that they don't have the legal right.

But they believe they have the moral right, and they do not.

Cool. Now, let's start getting into whether communism is "extremism" or not, rather than just begging the question.

Ok, now do the right of the US to claim and govern the territories that were taken from them by gunpoint.

The current situation is consistent with the "carbon fighting" government that buys an oil pipeline. So, you know...
