          This. If you want free stuff, take it from the rich (preferably through taxes, but violence is honestly not out of the question anymore) because they’re the ones who already get “free” stuff just for being “a VIP member” of society.

          Just promise me, if you eat the rich, spare their kids. No child has ever had real control over the world’s money, it’s not their fault if their parents were fucking assholes.

          Why would you need broadband internet if it isn’t for porn in the first place?

        What about me? When I was born Ohio is what we’d now call blue. I say it that way because when I was born, states didn’t have colors. In fact in 1980 when reagan won, the map he won was blue. Today that wouldn’t make sense, so you get my point.

        By the time I was a teenager Ohio had become a swing state.

        And now it’s red.

        Where the fuck is my blue ohio I was brought up in???

        Sunk cost fallacy… It might be worth moving in the long run. It’s far from perfect, but I know that the difference between living in a solid blue state, vs a purple state, is huge. I can’t even imagine coming from a deep red state. Shit would be like entering the Promised Land.

        Which is sad, because blue states have their fair share of issues.
