    The only thing more cringe than hearing people say this shit in the wild is the following lecture on its fascist origins that I follow it up with.

          Omfg thank you. Nothing made me cringe harder than seeing Joe Rogan post this bs, like my brother in Christ, it was you and the boomers that wrote and voted on the policies that created our current social/political/economic environment.

          Way to accidentally, ignorantly blame yourself for being the “weak man”.

          But with all fascist nonsense it’s not supposed to make sense, just feel good to them.

          Apparently my boomers are either slightly smarter than yours or know not to say really stupid shit to me.

            I just ask mine why grandpa paid for their college on a GM factory wage but they didn’t pay for mine with three times his effective income.

              I mean I can afford to live better than my dad did growing up working in the same factory as my grandfather. Granted, my dad has 9 brothers and sisters.

        Every time I’ve heard it it’s followed by the cavite that it’s just a pithy quote, sometimes relatable but not to be taken too seriously.

        Vancouver is a neoliberal shithole. Pretty on the surface, racist as fuck just underneath that.

      Do you have any sources handy I could use? Whenever I hear someone say that you can probably hear my eyes rolling from space.

        Africa never stood a chance against the violations from the colonizers. No amount of strong people will help against that, so it doesn’t say much. But as someone with a partner who grew up in Africa I can tell you it is rampant with toxic men and women, misogynism, and inequality.
