Careful what you wish for; go ahead for the IDF would mean open season on those food trucks. 😔

I do not believe it is actually a majority. Way too many, either way, though.

But two big issues I see is that most of us are literally living paycheck, where any significant time spent unemployed will result in losing your home.

Number two is how well armed the military is. Not to mention how many times our government has already proven they are more than willing to mobilize the forces against civilians.

So, yeah, we're pretty much fucked.

Or is he more interested in seeing China taking America's place as a global superpower, spouting a bunch of propagandic garbage?

Well, don't have to worry about them taking that spot. Trump is pretty much offering it up on a platter at this point!

Is the intelligent mammal in the room with you now?

I reserve that energy for shit that actually matters. Hated is just a way to give power over yourself to your enemies.

I'm sorry but you sound like Archer trying way too hard to make the joke work...

It explicitly says average at the top of the graphic.

Your interpretation makes no sense anyway.

Kentucky Fried Chicken had to change their name to KFC because the meat is lab grown and doesn't come from chickens anymore.

My theory on the general nature of the "root cause"? Fear of the very idea that they don't actually matter. The fact that the lie is soon fed to them from birth doesn't change that it's bullshit.

One of my favorite lines ever in any media has got to be master Yoda explaining the danger of fear. Tied is the "litany against fear" from Dune, but the point is to teach hate, first teach fear.

That...sounds like hate. I don't mean to be pedantic, but I think it's important. Not only to call a spade a spade, either. I've witnessed a close family member insist a hateful view or stance was not actually hate if you're "doing it for the right reasons".

To clarify, I don't think you were taking that stance. I think we probably agree on the relevant issues, in fact. So I regret my earlier choice of words; I was unnecessarily combative in how I phrased it.

In the end, to so thoroughly succumb to greed that you justify acting so hatefully to the rest of the population is deeply disturbing.

Their actions don't support this at all.
