Will Bunch expresses what I’ve been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don’t support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

    Okay buddy. Generational poverty doesn’t have any impact on subculture, it’s all about picking yourself up by your bootstraps even if you don’t know what fucking bootstraps are or where to find them. You’re right. Fuck them all, they should die for their moral failing of generational poverty and a worldview informed by the same. Everyone should experience poverty like the middle class does, a short term setback while getting an education.

      Being poor doesn’t automatically make you a bad person. Not at all, actually, so stop using the excuse that because someone is poor that they will fall into a crowd that deals drugs. How convenient. Trashy people do that and they sure as fuck had no business being essentially funded by tax payer money. Fuck them and anyone who apologizes for those pieces of garbage.

        That person didn’t say being poor makes you a bad person nor did they imply it. You, however, seem to believe there’s an “ideal way” to raise children to 100% ensure they’ll never do drugs. I somehow doubt that there is and drugs certainly aren’t a one way ticket to messing up.

          And further, I wasn’t even talking about children. I was talking about ANCIENT FUCKING GRANDMA(S) GETTING KICKED OUT OF PUBLIC HOUSING BECAUSE THEIR GROWN-ASS GRANDKID, WHO GRANDMA HAS NO POWER TO CONTROL, DECIDED GRANDMA’S PROJECT WAS A GOOD PLACE TO DEAL. Jesus H Christ on a stick.
