Considering this was posted by my oldest sister who is firmly on the poverty side of things ... it's a bit ironic.

The crab-bucket leanings of the loudest, angriest poor folks is astonishing.

The first line is more concerning.  The fact that it was written and distributed suggests there is a significant level of acceptance of that proposition.

Isn't that a democracy vs. republic thing (which in American politics keeps confusing me, because the way I learned it over here, republic denotes a non-monarchic government, regardless of whether it is authoritarian or democratic ).

Poland frowns on your shenanigans.

I don't think most of the people distributing or reading this material intend to have a nuanced, academic discussion of Federalist 10, nor do they understand nor care about the true nature of the distinction that Madison was making, nor the fact that a key premise of the argument proved wrong within the first decade of the US, leading to major political and constitutional changes.

It's sort of Exhibit A in why just a little bit of historical learning is a dangerous thing.

Can you fight TOWNHALL?

TOWNHALL is the miniboss you have to defeat in order to fight CITYHALL.

Stop trying to trick us. Everyone knows you can't fight CITYHALL.

But you can fight THELAW.

[The Brain]

It's certainly possible to betray it.

But you can fight THELAW.

You won't win.

Life isn't easy, so we should try to ease each other's burdens.

Sounds a lot like communism.

Hates America, you just know it.

What a horrible curse. Forever unable to choose wisely themselves, they are still able to advise others to do so.

I'm so glad I'm out of the bar/restaurant industry. I left right before COVID hit and I absolutely would hate the the awfulness that has been going on since. From what I've heard from friends and former co-workers as well as read on a more national level, the people who went out when restaurants and bars reopened were and to some degree still are for the most part some of the absolute worst patrons. Lots of complaints about new policies out of staff control, incredibly rude, and terrible tippers. 

[Razgovory]

The people they would be banning don't give a shit whether you live or die and demand that the government interfere in the running of your business.

My middle sister is not in favor of Covid vaccination.

[Admiral Yi]

All true except the last part.
