They can't agree on the type of evil they want to be

Fuck Brad (most of them)

Paywall

"I want to be Krang from TMNT and suck the whole world into dimension X!"

"Well I want to be The Man With the Golden Gun and steal solar technology that can be weaponized into a giant space laser and hold the world ransom!"

"I just want to be Abys Mal from Aladdin and get a cool hat..."

Right-wingers mad about this, left-wingers mad about that.

Let's all agree that's the baseline, and not worth noting. This will save us all WEEKS over a lifetime.

Every one of those right wing complainers are among the worst people on earth.

They never seem to complain about rich people who just live off investments and inherited wealth.

I feel like left-wingers have legitimate concerns to be angry about: climate change, food scarcity, wealth inequality.

Right-wingers have to make up (or misattribute) their grievances.

"I want to be Krang from TMNT and suck the whole world into dimension X!"

Look, all I'm saying is that Krang is sitting at the perfect height.

He's in the stomach of a pretty tall robot dude. Perfect height for what? 🤨

Perfect height for Michelangelo.

I was confused at the thumbnail, I mean wtf does Jizz In My Pants have to do with this?

LOL... able bodied 35 year olds. Not in this economy. Between lack of healthcare, body damage from work or enlistment, and a satiating diet of food "products" to constant stress from all the economic crashes and disasters that happened yeah... Go fuck-a-bee cunts. We all paid into these funds while these lazy fucks say $175,000 a year isn't enough money for them to "work" a couple month year blowing smoke up everyone's ass. That's welfare fraud. Pay the leeches $7.25 an hour only for the hours they work. Filth.

I don't watch crap-able. Link to the ad?

republicans, white people and conservative pocs are taught through propaganda that being rich/white is the epitome of an "citizen" so no they will never complain about rich people.

and taxation theft(through tax evasion/shelter methods)

To... Be hit... with nunchaku?

“black people are astronomically more likely to be on welfare than white people. So the number of single young white male ‘Brads’ abusing the welfare system is minuscule. Practically non-existent.

Pretty ridiculously disingenuous and misleading to make this complaint when there are more white people on food stamps than black people.

dignity of work

What a joke

I was today years old when I learned that guy is called Abis Mal. There's so much these movies lose with dubbing.

And sometimes murder rape and pedophily too!

British right-wing commentator Charles Cornish-Dale, known online as “Raw Egg Nationalist.”

Wtf why do raw-egg eating weirdos seperated by an entire ocean and half an America know, let alone have a take on political ads in Arkansas?

This is dangerous thinking and one of the very reasons conservatives do shit like this. They want people to ignore both sides, when in reality the left's concerns are not only valid, they are in many cases literally existential.

That's called statistics! Remember, there are 3 types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

This is just another rebranding of the "13 50" bullshit in a different trenchcoat.

Right-wing pastor Joel Webbon was explicit: “Why pick a White man? You should make your message more believable by picking someone Black.”

A lot of these guys are just completely mask-off these days.

I have been a white man who needed assistance and turned to "welfare" to survive.

I as well, it was what opened my eyes in my 20’s that all the bullshit I was fed as a kid was in fact false.

Because the bad guys, including the racists that supposedly hate each other's races to death, all stick together in destroying us, while we fight amongst ourselves.

Congratulations on your transition! How do you feel now?

Every time my welfare cheque comes I JIZZ IN MY PANTS!

When looking at stats, you shouldn’t look at absolute numbers, you need to look at distribution too. According to google US is approximately 59% white, and 13% black, and food stamp numbers are 38% white and 25% black. So there does seem to be truth to if you are black you are more likely to be on food stamps.

Systemic racism might play a factor here.

It's nice not needing the help anymore. Transitioning to being not broke wasn't an easy or quick process, and I certainly couldn't have done it all on my own, but it was worth it. I'm still a white guy though I try not to hold that against myself.

they should have their heads "off" too

Yat they always insist they aren't racists

They want to sell the illusion that their racist welfare cuts are, in fact, colorblind, or at least to an outward audience. Even in cases when a certain welfare is more enjoyed by whites, such as disability in Hungary, as Fidesz made it harder to access to many disabled people, due to far-right bloggers between 2006-2010 told people, that "voivode and overweight Roma drug dealers" are pretending to be intellectually disabled and amputees, to get welfare money and disabled parking spots for their Mercedeses. Though some bloggers also went after neurodivergent people, and claimed they were pushed into intellectual labor, due to "DEI mandates" and the mothers of those people fucking the way to their children (yes, they plagiarized it from Forrest Gump, because fascists don't have imagination, as seen by the sheer amount of AI slop they pump out).

More than 1/3 of just under 2/3 of the population vs 1/4 of slightly over 1/10 of the population.

Rough estimates

White on food stamps: 76.2 million

Black on food stamps: 11.1 million

That’s my point though, those numbers are meaningless. What if I gave you these numbers:

White not on food stamps: 122.6 million

Black not on food stamps: 33.2 million

There are zero valid conclusions to be drawn.

Analyzing the actual numbers, it seems a random black person is 3x more likely to be on food stamps than a random white person in the US.

(0.25/0.13) / (0.38/0.59) = 2.99

Systemic racism might play a factor here.

Might? Centuries of being held down at every turn and prevented from accumulating generational wealth "might" be a factor in modern poverty?

Will you hold it against me? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not everything is literal my guy. Try reading between the lines.

Try being honest.

Holy shit lol this gave me a chuckle. Thanks for that.

So there does seem to be truth to if you are black you are more likely to be on food stamps

Sure but in context that should not matter at all if the question is what demographic is the appropriate choice to represent the typical US welfare recipient. In this case total numbers are more relevant than relative proportion, you'd want the median person.

I'm working hard so those at the top never have to.

As though half of all white people in Alabama aren't on food stamps…

I'll have to ask my wife, y'know, out of respect for her.

Also, if there are 100 evenly distributed welfare recipients in a room, and you pick one at random, it is more likely they will be white than black.

I have a good nick name for them, torso boys!
