A minor rant

[linuxares]

That's a fair criticism and I'd say they should probably use the slightly more specific "African pride" instead...but then again there are what? Like ten black guys total in Sweden?

(Not a whole lot of black people in Colorado either, just joking around a bit.)

lol no, we have a lot

Taxes wouldn't even be an issue if people saw more positive effects of them in their own communities. The problem is that most of our taxes in the US go to corporate welfare, rather than to helping individuals who actually need it. Not to mention corporations like McDonald's and Wal-Mart which walk employees through signing up for food stamps during orientation, IE taking from taxpayers both coming and going.

Billionaires take taxes and don't pay taxes, that alone should say something about our society.

I don't believe I defined "true capitalism". I did suggest that America is not doing it. Do you want to entertain me with your thought process?



The white man is the only person, on the whole planet, who is not allowed to be proud. Many white men try to escape this fate by becoming women.

that is why karens exist.

Can you explain what you mean by that? AFAIK "Karens" aren't restricted to gender, race, or even societal conditions, even though they were originally popularized by cliché entitled white women (presumably in America). I can imagine a "Karen" existing anywhere. To me, it's just someone who grossly overestimates their own authority and acts entitled. (ie. @Xzi)

Yep, see: the nation's poorest state (Mississippi) used welfare money to pay Brett Favre for speeches he never made.

because they are not allowed to be proud they go the route of faux "victimization" to assert their dominance.

They are allowed though. That's why it annoys everyone. They embody the rhetoric to its dysfunction. You can't shame a Karen because a Karen knows no shame. They are a victim, no matter what.

Fanatical Karens and where to find them in history

You seem to think "Karens" are restricted to white women. If that's true, then we have a fundamental disagreement.

so Karens are all disagreeable women, correct?

I said earlier:

thank you, being a Karen is an ideology, not a specific type of person.

I think calling it an "ideology" gives Karen too much credit.
