    Hey look, an “elite” with absolutely no concept of how actual reality works, who’s just trying to stir up a base consisting of people with IQs smaller than their shoe size.

    I promise you, if I could stay home all day and play video games by somehow using free healthcare, I’d be doing it.

    I dunno. I’d be a lot more apt to go seek a job if the market for my desired career and skills wasn’t currently being recklessly trashed. No point in taking a job offer knowing I’ll be the new guy and the first to get let go when the inevitable cuts come due to government cutbacks, tariff damage, and a recession leading to more reductions. It’s way easier to stay home and let the government, who carelessly took away my job, pay for me to play video games all day.

    Music is making younger generations lazy.

    Nono, it’s books.

    Nono, it’s film.

    Nono, it’s TV.

    Nono, it’s music again, but only certain kinds of music like rock and metal.

    Nono, it’s video games.

    Young men who are capable of playing video games all day are likely depressed, and have a clinical problem. Our volition to be productive was demonstrated during the 2020 lockdown and the great resignation of 2021-22, in which young men (as with all other working demographics) learned:

    • They felt better in a non-toxic work environment
    • They couldn’t couch potato for more than a week without getting fierce cabin fever, and
    • They got highly skilled when they were doing a thing they liked.

    The ones who resigned from old jobs were the ones who were able to monetize their hobby enough to quit. Many more got productive, but didn’t find something in their craft for which there was a ready market.

    Speaker Johnson is a fierce MAGA and conforms to the common fascist trope of never speaking in good faith. See Sartre’s antisemite quote.

    With several perspectives including that crunch remains a thing in AAA game development, our ownership class and CEOs are less concerned about maximizing profits than they are being lords with a feif and peons (compulsory servitude).

    Oh and death to all monarchists. Disney deaths preferred.

    "No one has talked about cutting one benefit in Medicaid to anyone who’s duly owed—what we’ve talked about is returning work requirements, so, for example, you don’t have able-bodied young men on a program that’s designed for single mothers and the elderly and disabled. They’re draining resources from people,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson last week.

    ‘Get fucked poors, sucks to suck when working full time still keeps you below the poverty line. Can’t afford to pay for you lazy fucks to see a doctor when we’ve got rich people who need the money more’

    Pretty rich coming from a guy who lets trump take every power congress is supposed to hold. WTF does he even do at work? If we stopped paying him, would anything at all happen? Every republican seems like a whiny crybullying grifter to me.
