    Left leaning spaces have become really good at pairing “don’t work too hard” meme’s with “I can’t pay rent or eat” memes and also “why can’t we get anything done” memes. They all go together.

    People say that as we age that most people gravitate towards the right. I think it’s that as we age we slowly realize how full of shit the left are and how they really are just lazy people full of ideas they can’t bother to fight for themselves. That “grindset” or whatever the fuck you call it mentality is at the core of the right wing. And it shows in that they tend to hold power even when they don’t. The average right winger will drive across states just to go shit on some insignificant thing because they all feel they can change things in their life with effort. The left can’t bother to do much beyond tell others to disengage and not work too hard.

      This is actually changing. Historically, folks usually moved more right as they aged, but that is shifting as folks agr now. Times are different, tons of people who did everything right can’t even afford a house now.

      You’re American, aren’t you?

      You do know that in the US, roughly one people out of 10 are literal millionaires, yet your major cities still have huge homeless populations (whom most have jobs by the way, some homeless people working several jobs) and literal shit on the street.

      Say what you want about the Nordic model but it’s definitely much further left than whatever bullshit America is doing.

      And we’re doing pretty okay. We have no human shit on our streets. Can you say the same?
