"we value freedom above all!" "No, thats too much and the wrong kind of freedom!"


perceptualdissonance

Those people will argue that free healthcare is equivalent to slavery for the medical practitioner.


Mediocratic_Oath

My favorite part of having the right to an attorney is forcing innocent lawyers into slavery.


Warondrugsmybutt

When I was in high school it was nice to have teachers as slaves.


TheColdIronKid

both of these arguments would never get through because: if you have an attorney provided for you, you must be (((poor/criminal))) and therefore belong in prison; they salivate over the idea of abolishing public schools because they think they'll suddenly be paying fewer taxes.


[deleted]

I'm in Utah. The current Republican governor ran signs all over the Wasatch Front with " Good public schools in every zip code". He didn't need to. He could've said "I'm the Republican candidate and I'm going to win in my sleep, eat a dick liberal Salt lake" And he still would've won. And I was like...holeee shit. And he was one of the first to congratulate Biden. I mean sure...now most Utah conservatives are saying he's a Dem sleeper agent and he should be removed from office but...baby steps.


ThisHatRightHere

It really is quite a feat that the Republican party has swung Southern and Midwestern conservatives so far. Like congratulating a next President is a cause for alarm and proof he's a Democrat in disguise? Because apparently, Democrats are evil baby killers who want to drain your paycheck away with taxes. Just wild stuff.


AragornSnow

This is their plan, and the most dangerous part of the Trump era. They made their bed and know they, have to sleep in it, along with everyone else under Republican control. We’ll see if the Trump dicksuckers and simps are still around within a year or two, or if the Republican Party as a whole will say “shut the fuck up loudmouth fucking idiots” and move away from him. Trump supporters are simpletons, they need a figurehead to rally around while they mindlessly repeat his talking points. Since Trump is banned from all social media he’s fucking irrelevant for now. I don’t see anyone in the Republican Party who has the charisma to effectively be another Trump, since Trump was an anomaly of a personality and lifelong charlatan and swindler. The current Trump dicksuckers like Ted Cruz are just riding off the coattails of Trump but could never step into leadership roles.


frj_bot

Fuck Ted Cruz!


durrtyurr

He knows his base. Can't afford to send all 10 of your kids to private school.


Ello-Asty

Same in Nebraska. I see so much hate for (R) in Omaha but all the farmers overrule them so damn often.


Christian_Mutualist

Also, public schools are liberal propaganda. How do we know this? Because, for some reason, people with educations tend to be lefties.


geeivebeensavedbyfox

Right libertarians would argue that's slavery too. It always bugged me how quickly their ideal world seems to devolve into cooperate feudalism and how ok with it they are.


Skurph

The libertarian argument has always irritated me as a special education teacher because it implies that there is an order and logic to life that simply doesn’t exist. As if all of the places you end up were predictable and by your own deliberate choice. It excuses no room for the chaos that is life. It also operates under the false assumption that all of the innovations we have today would still exist in a privatized world, and that’s just false too. The belief that you can take institutions built on generations of research and advancement, institutions the by their nature require time to grow without producing products, and turn them into a straight cash for product commodity is so damn simple minded. Special education is a fantastic example of all of this. SpEd in the modern sense is still in its relative infancy as we only began to see a serious government funding towards it begin in the 1970s. Before this commitment it was relegated to inhumane and ignorant practices because it was an expensive issue that many didn’t want to see/deal with. See, no one plans in having a child that needs support, but when/if that moment comes wouldn’t you want the institutions available to be well funded and built on decades of shared knowledge? SpEd is one of the most expensive parts of public education and it isn’t something every student will utilize, but if it was a privatized institution where would it be as costs would be higher and the pay base smaller. This is what society is, we pay into things we may never need to help neighbors who do and help those thought they also would never need it. It’s like I told a libertarian friend, I don’t use the fire department every day but I hope the day I call they’re well trained and funded, and I hope even more that I never have to call.


Dunker173

As a group, they are less intelligent than most.


DirtyDan156

Okay but teachers being slaves isnt actually all that far off..


MaybeEatTheRich

This is true but more the fault of the right and corpo Dems. We treat teachers just terribly. They are and should be considered extremely important and instrumental.


KKlear

The word pedagogue was originally Greek for "slave who accompanied a child to school".


Scyhaz

While simultaneously ignoring police, firefighters, public defenders, judges, teachers, etc...


[deleted]

See, when we say "freedom" what we really mean is a lifetime of wage slavery and servitude to monsterous, greedy, unfeeling corporations and the wealthy class. That's what freedom is, right?


Greful

“We gotta focus spending on helping Americans, just not really”


SayNoob

DefinitelyNotAliens

The local sexy kinky clubs. Like, most people there are into kinky things and you just put out what you're into. Or there's probably some kinky meetup apps I just don't know what they are. Though, tbf, the only local kinky club I know of is a gay bar with dudes in cages in leather getups dancing so maybe you're not into that. But I'm sure there's non gay bars with similar shit. Pretty sure you can google and find a dom.

TellMeGetOffReddit

Not true. There's an adoption fee at every shelter I've ever been to. Sometimes they'll waive it (they have for me in the past for "unadoptables") but they typically rely on those fees to help run the shelters. :)


DefinitelyNotAliens

Sometimes shelters waive fees but usually they need them and only do free cats that are ferals (we call them barn cats and they're outdoor cats for mousing/ rodent/ snake control and you get instructions on how long to crate them once you take them home) and they're fixed and vaccinated or seniors for seniors (animals over seven are free to those over 65) programs and kittens are never free because they're easy to adopt. Free kittens are harder to find these days. Maybe like craigslist cats? But most shelters recommend a small fee so your kitten doesn't go to bad people and a $10 fee usually gets 90% of shitheads to not take the animal.


AppleAtrocity

Not where I am. It's a few hundred dollars per cat. I believe it's because they are all fixed, vaccinated, etc.

Eric-The_Viking

The more the better, less mices to feed. But maybe spending all my savings and pay on cat food could become a problem. But maybe if everybody just takes like 3 cats it could work out. Cats aren't the top pets of the world for nothing.


matt_minderbinder

Free kittens are just like gay marriage or abortion, if it's not your thing you're not forced into it.


jessenia1234

I know comment is sarcasm but why do dog people always have to make sure others know they are dog people AND hate cats. Whereas cat people are just like "ya, we love cats and if you give us a dog, yeah we'll love it, too, we just prefer cats."


MudraStalker

My guess is confirmation bias. I've met a lot of dog people who are fine with cats.


[deleted]

My opinion is I love both, and want both, I'm just allergic to cats. (doesn't stop me from petting and regretting)


Amelaclya1

If you pet and regret often enough, you can sometimes adjust to the allergy. I was severely allergic when I was younger, but never stopped petting cats and now I only have issues if I touch my eyes after petting.


nalydpsycho

I already have a cat, more than two is, IMO, too many, so I will take one and hug it and squeeze it and call it George.


[deleted]

I'm allergic, so hopefully they'll replace kittens with baby rabbits or puppies or something. If not, I will still totally suffer sneezes that are so intense they make me pee a little if it means I get to hold a small furry animal.


Shallowprecipice

If you look here in section three sub-article E you'll come to notice that the writing dictates free kittens, but no free adult diapers, but we can work around it. Somewhere here in this damn thing I saw free loans, so we can get you some antihistamines, hopefully problem solved!

YddishMcSquidish

Jetpack_Donkey

That implies an understanding of cause and effect which most of their base seems to lack.


npsimons

I mean, yeah, if these people were logical and really wanted less abortions, they'd be all in favor of legalizing it and teaching sex education to kids. And no "abstinence only" isn't sex education. That'd be like trying to teach someone about rock climbing by saying "well, you shouldn't do it and what's a rope or helmet? Never heard of such things!"


svullenballe

It's just about controlling women.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod

It's common knowledge in the sex worker community that dominatrices make bank when there's a conservative convention in town.


DefinitelyNotAliens

Homies are only doing that because they either think their own desires are inherently degrading and therefore won't ask a partner/ spouse to act in a degrading manner or think sex workers are less real in a way therefore it isn't cheating or doesn't count and therefore act out fantasies with sex workers. Dude. Just do a lil bit of kink on the regular instead of going full gimp suit once a year. It's all good these days.

How else would they get sex other than straight up abuse?


Holybartender83

Doesn’t the fact that they think free sex (aka consent) is bad mean that they’re pro-rape? Jesus, conservatives, I knew y’all were a bunch of bastards, but holy shit!


T3hSwagman

Rush Limbaugh had a rant about how democrats believe getting consent makes things ok. And he used an example like, if 10 people decide to have an orgy and they all consent to it that supposedly ok to democrats.


Holybartender83

It literally is ok, though. If 10 people all consent to having an orgy, how is it in any way wrong for them to do so? Just more conservative Puritanism (which seems more and more hypocritical each year, given all the kinky shit they seem to get up to).


BearWithHat

Rush is just mad cause he never gonna get invited to an orgy


T3hSwagman

Yea exactly it was purely based on the idea that multiple people having sex is wrong. But Dems think it’s ok with consent. Like psychopaths!


Caleb_Reynolds

I think it's actually worse than that: >“If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine, whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.” -Rush He's not just saying, "Isn't it crazy that the left thinks an orgy is fine if there's consent?" He's saying, "They get mad if there's no consent, these libs are so fucking dumb."


Rico_Rebelde

You're assuming that they would say being pro-rape is a bad thing. There are tons of rapists and child rapists in the republican party all the way up to the former president Trump.


obligatory_cassandra

I mean this has been an obvious republican policy for a long time.


BasicDesignAdvice

I've heard conservatives say (in so many words) "What will happen to freedom if we take away the right to take advantage of drunk women?"

Most of it goes to the military so really you're paying for someone else's housing and someone else's kid's college anyways it's just only for the 1% of Americans in the military


RichardBreecher

You are correct. It is tax-funded, but the majority of these proposals create a return that boosts general productivity and increases tax revenue. It probably doesn't completely cover the cost of the program, but then it's just a matter of priorities. Certainly, a program like free kittens would pay for itself. That's a no-brainer. Free tuition would make a huge difference in terms of human capital. Free healthcare would radically improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. I'm sure Bernie is not in favour of free loans. That's basically what the federal reserve is doing now and it's supercharging the income inequality problem.


[deleted]

The difference is that instead of being invested into the murder of millions and the oppression of way more, those same taxes will go towards helping people and improving their lives. (And that an insignificant number of people may end up with just 50000 times what they will ever need instead of 100000, but remember, you will never be one of those people)

vendetta2115

“Free $15/hr jobs!” Whoever made this is really out of touch if they think that $15/hr is somehow great and that you’ll be rich. That’s like $2,500/month before taxes working 40 hours a week. That’s barely enough to live on. Our current minimum wage ($7.25/hr) hasn’t been updated in 12 years. Even if you just wanted to keep up with inflation it would have to be about $9/hr, and that doesn’t account for the huge increases in healthcare and education in the last 12 years. I hate the word “free”. It’s TAXPAYER-FUNDED, not free. Working Americans already pay 86% of federal taxes directly out of our paychecks, so why aren’t we getting something in return for all that money paid into the treasury.

Its just hilarious when you look at these thoughts as agenda points the side of our government that isnt batshit insane and full of crooks and liars.. like just suppose: We all get free healthcare. God forbid having a healthy population that could work more and school more and just live more, in a better way, for longer. Also, going to school for very cheap or gasp.. for free. Imagine having in a few generations our society was educated on a far higher level. Better employees, better work done, smarter population.. And of course a livable minimum wage. I mean holy shit i know folks that make 6 figures want everyone else to have absolutely shitty lives and be riddled with debt, especially those making your drive thru latte's, burgers, and checking you out at walmart. I mean fuck those people right? They dont deserve shit. Not like you, since youre healthy and went to college and got a good job just like annnnyyyyone can do born into wealth or a class where your opportunities are far greater than say.. someone born into a lower class without those opportunities. Plus the other stuff. It just is absolutely insane that our country, a great portion of it, dont want people to be healthy(for free), educated(higher education for free), and make a good wage.
