Right wing "Libertarians" in a nutshell:

[–] [email protected] 61 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

The housecats of politics. They desperately want out of the house and don't understand that they're just an appetizer for the wealthy without regulation to protect them.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Man you must have some unhappy house cats. My cat went out onto the patio, realised he could get the same smells from the open window, and went back inside.

Cat tax before you animals demand it.

We have two very brave girls who don't understand that the coyotes and foxes want to be much closer than friends.

"human LET ME OUTSIDE"
"human why is there water falling from the sky? this is awful, let me back inside!"
"okay maybe the water has stopped falling, let me outside again!"
"the water is still falling!!! this is a travesty!!! i shall stand in the doorway to observe."

This is better. Now we're taking about cats.

I used to be a right wing "Libertarian", then I read some theory and now im an AnSynd (Anarcho-Syndicalism) :3

They want to be free to exploit others. Or at least dream that one day they might.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Freedom! To be exploited and repressed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Um, aktuly you're only repressed because you choose to be. I'm free because I'm going along with the repression to make money.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, it fits a country where saying "Long live the King!" is rebellious.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Cops that like to wear Punisher merch. Humans are by and large idiots.

Americans be like β€œwe need guns to oppose tyranny” then use guns to install fascism and threaten the most disadvantaged people in society.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Leftist gun-guy here.

No fascist will ever be aided by my gun ownership. I just wish the rest of the left wasn't so insistent on disarming themselves.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I love the Cops and my Boss.

I hate the Woke Cops and my HR.

Tell your boss

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Nothing more rebellious than getting on your knees and doing what you're told.

Outback restaurants put it best: "no rules, just Right".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

replace Americans with literally any conservative

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Same thing.

Kansas just issued new license plates to everyone and one of the designs is a "Don't tread on me" flag so I've been seeing a lot of them on exactly the vehicles you'd expect.

My dude... You bought that from the government... To register your vehicle with the government... To drive on roads maintained and regulated by the government... Who do you think is doing the treading?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

RumpRules! ait, aat? uck.

[–] Brown5500 6 points 2 weeks ago

The cops and YOUR boss. My boss kinda sucks but I think yours will take care of you if you just work hard

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Wooooow.

Not wrong.

But woooow

[–] Aquila 5 points 3 weeks ago

Fuck the police

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'm reading a book and the author made the observation that Sarah Palin and McCain were sidekicks, partners, and Mavericks^t^^m^

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think the thing about Americans is that we won't go halfway with anything. I think that once things flip and people start revolting, the violence that we will see will be SHOCKING. It is just going to take a lot to get to that point. A significant degradation of the daily quality of life. So far we still have bread and circuses, even if they are expensive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe my sample isn’t representative enough, but I literally don’t know anyone besides maybe my extremely conservative grandfather who agrees with that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah! Gonna listen to some Unknown Mortal Orchestra rn!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

So weird. I've never heard of Unknown Mortal Orchestra but I went to check them out on Youtube and I found a link to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert - which Youtube is showing me as already having listened to.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

And they're the most scared too.
