some people are just trolls but afk as well….
just think about how many internet trolls there are… and write anything disagreeing with anything and a troll will find it and try to argue the opposite side.:. but disingenuously and with the sole purpose of pissing you off….
then if you look at their post history, it’s entirely that sort of thing.
then you have to realize that they’re not all just edgey teenagers exploring the dark side, most of them are full grown adults.
i think a lot of loud trumpets are just trolls living the roll. moral outrage is very entertaining for them because they don’t feel real emotions or have moral motivations….
i’ve heard that america has a much larger percentage of psychopaths because of the way the country was founded… a: genocide, and b: people leaving their family and friends behind probably forever, to gamble on a future…
I work with a person like that and it's driving me up a wall.
He starts arguments for the sake of arguments. He is extremely vocal about anything that he knows will cause any sort of disagreement with anyone. Actively looks for ways to pit other people against each other. Endlessly talking shit to and about everyone. Just an annoying, toxic person. Leadership sees him as harmless, but he is a real cause of a lot of drama in the workplace. Usualy not Involving him directly, but often caused or stirred up by him. Motivated entirely by two things, his amusement, and his money. Everyone else just exists in his world to amuse him.
collage educated, smart, reletivly successful. But fucking toxic.
My point is you are absolutly correct. These people exist. They are emotional stunted and live for cause problems for others. It's kinds funny for a little bit but gets realy fucking old realy fast.
i think it’s the next level after compulsive/pathological liars….
they’re pretty dangerous people, really… especially if they know you’re onto them.
i’ve heard 5% of people are sociopaths… that’s 1/20, and most sociopaths don’t kill people.
i don’t think it’s emotionally stunted as much as it is emotionally vacant.
Ever played undertale? The only unrealistic things about flowey are the murder and the being a flower thing.
“I’m on of the good ones!” They scream as they are being put into an ICE van!
“I voted for Trump!” They plead.
“I’n here legally!” They cry.
ICE cares not for their screams. For ICE only cares that they are non-white*.
*Don’t worry white immigrants. One day, you too shall be deported. Once all the non-white people are gone.
Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group, So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
~~Killer Mike~~ El-P
Everybody should listen to RTJ4. If you were a fan of Rage back in the day you'll love it.
RTJ radicalized me. Their lyrics are just on a different level honestly
Hell yeah welcome to the right side of History, if anyone's left to write it. I'm 41 and I was pretty much an anarchist punk by the time I was 18 (I misunderstood the concept but I got it eventually). It's funny, I became less radical as I got older to where I called myself a democratic socialist. I was inspired by Bernie. But the events of the past eight years and my experiences in life have brought me right back to being a radical leftist.
Good luck, stay safe, have solidarity with the people of this fucked up world.
Oh and read this.

The Cubans thought they were safe because they've been staunch Republicans. One of the key demographics in keeping Florida red.
Well, now they learn. And for people thinking oh they'll release him when they find out they can't deport him because there are no flights to Cuba...
ICE asks where you're from but they don't take your word for it. They can easily decide you're from anywhere else, like Haiti or El Salvador. And with quotas they are now incentivized to do so, rather than before where the paperwork incentivized them to accept you were not deportable.
I always thought it was funny Cubans voting Republican. I am told it's because they fear socialism because of Castro, so they vote for fascism. Even though the DNC is still far into the capitalism territory. It makes no sense to me.
They feared the tankies so much, they voted the far-right...
🤣
The first wave of Cuban immigrants to the US came immediately after the revolution, and it was mostly rich people. Castro was redistributing the land and the wealth, executing former police torturers, and going after crime lords who had been safe under the Batista regime, and every worm that could escape did so. These types were allowed into the US for their propaganda value because of course they wouldn't have any trouble going on TV and talking about how horrible communism was and crying about how their plantations were taken away from them by the government. That group of rich people and cops was already right wing by American standards when they came here, and set the tone for all Cuban migrants who came after.

They are heavily propagandized by decades of fear mongering that the Democrats are radical leftists. I've seen the same thing in people who grew up in Soviet countries. Any hint of leftism is a red flag to them and plays into the propaganda the right wing puts out. No amount of reasoning about capitalism and universal public goods co-existing in other countries gets through to them.

Good. Fuck him and anyone who voted for Trump.
Rip bozo
Wait, hold on, this person was actually here illegally (not passing judgement) and openly campaigned for someone who was talking about deporting people?
Edit: Fix typo
https://www.cubaheadlines.com/articles/296478
He's an anti-communist who thought he was the right kind of refugee.
Keeping in mind refugees and asylum seekers are not illegal.
Unfortunately for his dumb ass, Trump didn't just not reinstate the Wet Feet, Dry Feet policy, he specifically complained about its existence (despite it ending under Obama)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_feet,_dry_feet_policy
But, also, he's literally a criminal and a scammer so while this is still a Face Eating Leopard situation it's not * just* because Trump is a racist.

LMFAO 😂
Protip: You aren't being a "Model Minority" or "One of the good ones", you're being a useful idiot and will be left holding the bag 200 out of 100 times.
Haha, I love the shadenfreud and I refuse to feel bad about it
"refuse to feel bad"?
I'm openly laughing about this. I always feel bad when bad things happen to people, even to bad people, but this guy literally asked for it, and persuaded others to also ask for it.
I don't actually feel bad for this guy at all. He was a scammer and probably deserves to be deported, but I'm not going to credit Trump for accidentally doing a good thing, his rhetoric just happened to align with reality for a very brief moment.
The system is working as designed. This is how the system was built to work.
Dude campaigns for rich asshole, rich asshole deports him on principle.
The worker shortage that will be caused by deporting illegal workers will not be filled by the fat lazy Americans who are unemployed. They refuse to do such work because it is beneath them. So we'll have a massive gap, especially on farms. The farmers will take this to the government, and the farmers will get even more compensation because the government keeps fucking them over. Over and over and over again.... At this point, I think farmers qualify as government employees.
I am not a fan of the narrative that Americans are too lazy to take jobs that are being worked by immigrants. It's just not true. Americans won't take these jobs because these jobs aren't going to pay what Americans demand. Not because they're lazy. These immigrants are being taken advantage of and are being paid way less than they deserve simply because they're illegal immigrants. Them being deported isn't going to suddenly make these jobs higher paying positions. The problem is with corporations. Not with immigrants nor with American citizens (well except the fucked up americans that voted for trump).

LOLOLOL!!! Good! Adios asshole!
"Trumpy, you got some 'splainin' a-do!"
Famed Nixon and Reagan supporter and Cuban nobility exile Desi Arnaz. His pastimes included drinking and prostitutes. He'd be a trump man.
Edit: fun fact, his family went into exile not with the Cuban revolution with Castro, but the one that put Batista in power. His father was part of the corrupt Machado government. People were not happy with the aristocrats being fat and happy during the depression. He liked to portray himself as a rags to riches story but curiously also went to one of the most elite private Catholic high schools in the states with Al Capone's son in the middle of the depression. Give me a break.
[Scene opens on a wide, desolate savanna at dusk. The camera slowly pans over a leopard lying under a tree, its large body barely able to move. The sun is setting, casting a cold, dim light over the scene. Soft wind rustles through the dry grass. The leopard’s eyes are dull, its breathing labored.]
Narrator (soft, somber voice): In the wild, leopards are meant to stalk, to hunt, to climb. But for some, this is no longer possible. These are the leopards of the forgotten savanna... the ones who can no longer live the life they were born to lead.
[Cut to a close-up of another leopard, this one lying next to a watering hole, panting heavily. The camera lingers on its enormous, bloated body, its paws barely able to reach the ground. The leopard’s eyes seem vacant, devoid of the wild spark they once had.]
Narrator: Overfed and unable to move, these leopards have been left to a slow, painful existence. They can no longer hunt their prey, no longer climb the trees to escape danger, no longer feel the thrill of the chase. They are trapped in their own bodies.
[Cue the soft, mournful opening chords of "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. The camera slowly pans over a third leopard, sluggishly trying to rise, but its massive weight prevents it from standing. It lets out a heavy sigh, its once-strong legs buckling beneath it.]
Narrator: They are the forgotten victims of a world that has abandoned them. Too fat to run, too weak to fight... These leopards are slowly fading, one breath at a time. They need your help.
[Cut to a shot of a leopard staring out over the savanna. The camera lingers on its face, eyes half-closed, its expression one of quiet resignation.]
Narrator: For just $3 a day, you can provide the care and support these leopards so desperately need. A donation will help give them the chance to live a life of dignity. Help them find their way back to the wild they were meant to roam.
[The music swells as the camera fades to black, and the words "Your donation can make a difference" appear in white text on the screen.]
Narrator (whispering): Please, don’t let them suffer in silence. The time to act is now.
[The music fades out, and the SPCA logo appears in the corner, along with a toll-free number and website for donations.]
Jews For Hitler: down with us! He doesn't mean it, right?
I could easily find articles on his being in custody, but I didn't find any references for his Trump support. Where should I look?
