I can only see 'wins' for my annual bonus - in keeping the Koch brothers and Pentagon happy. I'm willing to take a hit on my money for these people - and they are such massive ingrates that they can't just be respectful when it's something that actually matters to me."
Sounds like somebody very comfortable or even rich telling us slobs in steerage not only "let them eat cake" but that we are ingrates for the angelic sacrifice of "hits on my money" that don't even exist.
The poster like the Kochs and the MIC haven't sacrificed a red cent on mine or anyone else's behalf.
If that is "support" then I say caucus with and support the TeaPubliKlans if that is what you have to offer. Better a clear enemy than a backstabbing friend in your camp.
As far as Clinton goes this is a piece of the same pie, same mentality.
Also, bullshit on "Rather people are posting about something when you think they should post what you want them to.", it just flat out isn't true.
I've been far from absent from threads on the blue gang or the racist institutions, I have strongly been in solidarity with the victims and these communities, shit I've got the exact same target on my back and have been there. I don't have to justify a damn thing. I know what it is like to be pulled over for driving (and walking too for that matter) while black. I've sat in the cuffs for no reason. I've been searched (shook down) multiple times for nothing, how about you?
What I'm pushing back on is the it doesn't matter/let them eat shit sentiment expressed because it is stupid, counter productive, and false.
Can't preach at me like I don't live it, racially and economically. I'm a subject matter expert by life experience.
