    Socialist: Wants everyone to have the basic dignity of food, housing, education and medical care.

    Capitalist: Wants to hoard property acquired from immense human toil, death and suffering, force others into a struggle for survival and genocide of anyone who isn’t of the “conquerer class.”

    Which sounds “extremist” to you?

    Easy, I’ll summarize

    Far Left: universal healthcare, better education, a strong social safety net and democracy

    Right: child rape, slavery, fascism, child rape, genocide, imperialism, white supremacy… oh, and child rape. The right wing LOVES raping children.

      I think people have lost sight of good things being possible, so when they hear something demonic it rings as honest whereas saying something genuinely helpful they think, “where’s the catch?”

      That and just the old classic of people wanting hurdles for the lower class they themselves are part of because they think it’ll hurt minorities too.

        The capitalist brainwashing is insidious. It reduces human’s worth to a number in their wealth portfolio. It separates “losers” and “winners” per social Darwinism. The “losers” are losers because of character defects, laziness, weakness and every other dehumanizing descriptor you can think of. Thus the lower classes buy this narrative and stay depressed and oppressed, blaming themselves for their lot; while the elites continuously pull up the ladder behind them.

        they presume they’re taxes will be much higher to pay for the layouts getting access

        the “how will we afford it” nonsense talking point of conservatives that’s pervasive

      Demons love raping God’s children.

      It’s the purest evil one can indulge in. It’s so vile that it’s difficult to put into words.

      I cannot fathom the mindset of someone willing to do this.

      … And we put them in charge, because a section of our population likes the way they bully people who experience empathy.

      Sadism in service of child rapists. That’s America.

        Could do without the religious imagery. In the bible, god commanded Moses and his army to rape children. Maybe god is also a demon? Or more obviously, a human-made excuse to give one’s own ego divine authority.

        There is no limit to the evil a person can do when they believe in magic because there is no accountability. “God sent these kids for me to take advantage of.” How do we prove them wrong?

          The unfalsifiability of religious claims does not lessen the absurdity of their callousness and villainy.

          The consistency of their depravity. The extremity of their betrayals… the lies. Even the fucking lies, like a never ending volcanic flow of disdain for reality itself.

          It feels external to the range of human expression. It feels supernatural to me. I struggle bringing myself to accept them as peers in this universe.

          I understand your sentiment, and perhaps my brain agrees… but my heart cannot accept it.

          Many of these people are in secret cults that worship satan and/or various lords of the Christian hell.

          They take from the poor and give to the rich. They murder children — because they’re losing their war to distract us from the fact they raped children. They accuse their opposition of the crimes they commit. They steal and cheat more than they breathe and eat.

          Just analyzing this behavior is exhausting. Imagining the mindset of those who perform it is unfathomable. I am beyond incredulous. I cannot even imagine being how Donald Trump is.

            I just want to avoid reinforcing their harmful delusions. The revolting truth is that people don’t need demons to act evil. But they throw around labels like “demon” and “sinner” to dehumanize people they don’t understand. The mythology gives them permission to be abusers.
