          I mean debtor prisons are basically just involuntary prison labor, which the US already has. Not really a leap, considering you can get arrested for legitimately anything.

          I mean, it kind of is.

          Debtor’s prisons were never fair, but at least it usually involved adults who made their own choices.

          Kids can’t legally consent to anything - though I’m sure the republicans want to change that too.

    How did they never pay for anything? Shoplifting? Are they literally a statue of a Confederate general?

        I don’t feel like someone relying on government helps would think some corporate fascist who generally wants to reduce government spendings represents their interest, but then again I don’t think there is a logical framework in which we won’t conclude that OP is at least a little bit dumb. But what makes me favour the parents supported hypothesis is the "never paid for anything " part.

          I am from a very poor place in WV where most people are on assistance because there are no jobs.

          Trump flags everywhere. Cars driving down the road with no tags or insurance, but Trump stickers all over.

          I don’t get it. Well, actually I do.

          Religion. The preacher says the gay is bad. Preacher says the trans is bad. Democrats want to extend basic rights to those people and preacher says god don’t like that.

      Except we still live in ‘free’ market vibes based capitalism - where the profits are privatized, and the losses get socialized. If this tariff stupidity goes on, there will be some kind of bailout/grift like there always is. From PPP loans, sweetheart tax breaks, to liquidity bailouts for banks, the Fed will step in and Congress will have to do something to restore market and consumer confidence. Or else we all facetank turbo inflation, job losses, and stagnant wages in a new economic depression.

      If these NEETs were old enough to have been alive during the 2008 crash, they spent it playing Modern Warfare 2 and wondering why everyone else had big sad - after all, they still had vidya, porn, and tendies living at home.

      Ah… It’s fair? If wealth isn’t distributed well, blaming radical ideas will only fuel the fire. Solution is a much deeper one no one wants to invest into.

        I can call it a really stupid take while also acknowledging we need deep systemic change.

            Burn the world down and build it back fresh and new. It’s a great strategy when you don’t ask who is building it back and what are their goals? Nobody should ever trust Trump or any other billionaire to be that person.

        Don’t blame this on depression. Most depressed people doesn’t become fascists. If anything this is their narcissism showing itself.

          I dont think al of the people that voted for the annoying orange agree with the fascistic tendencies. It’s probably an unhealthy mix of suicidals and depressed people, angry people, fascists, idiots and morons. Neither of these are mutually exclusive of course.

      There really are an unfortunate number of people who want to see the world burn in some fashion. Entertainment, because they can’t stand not poking a bear with a stick, or maybe because they’re a crab in a bucket and are willing to destroy others’ success because they have none of their own.

    I kinda understand their point of view here actually. Wanting to drag everyone down to their level. Burn it all down.
