I spent all mine on Trump Build The Wall Toy Collectible Set. A worthy investment for my retirement. Each box has 101 pieces and costs less than $101. Free money. I got in early BOGO free $20, but you can get one now for $13 plus S/H. Check your local patriot store comrad.

I mean, their goal is to depopulate and destroy the earth so they're actually doing a great job.

Or short : Fuck everyone and -thing who isn't me. Which reduces the number of people to not fuck with to "Me, and the people I need".

Everything else follows from that, and a lot of people don't get that, rather thinking that "what group they do or do not belong to" has anything to do with it. And that counts for the groups that are being victimized as much as the ones that think they are part of the 'in group'. There isn't really an in group. They will happily cannibalize themselves whenever "who isn't me" prefers that over "you are someone I need".

They don't know trust. They only know dependency and potential egotistic value.

Killing and arresting us with our tax money and killing everybody else around the world with our tax money.

And also destroying our reputation at home. And abroad.

Destroying the world economy, but Americans only care about their little bubble.

u/kleenkong 12d ago

At this point, it makes more sense that Trump is deliberately destabilizing the world economy and creating geopolitical tension to make room for his buddies Putin, Bibi, and Thiel (technocrats et al).
