ooft that's pretty frightening. here's hoping this is just one of those flash in the pan shitty ideas that fizzles out. the whole 'the socialist marxists are taking over' talking point is such a lazy excuse, if you're going to change it you'd better have a damn good fkn argument with loads of great points about what this is doing and how it will benefit people but this seems to be the easiest way to win over the masses so why bother.
it's pretty sad to see the same mentality that has maintained and exacerbated inequality over the years turns and points the finger at the people with the ideas and policies that actually aim to support others, and blame them for the problems they created in the first place. and it works, goddamnit it. these are people who explicitly don't give a fuck about disadvantaged people because they think a completely chaotic and complex system is infallable and every single person who is in a poverty deserves it because they weren't good at playing by the rules of the system. you would have to be the biggest arsehole to be that shallow and arrogant and yet somehow we let these people make rules that dictate how society should function. yeah that sounds smart, good job everyone.
nuts innit
