Sorry to disappoint but I’m only gonna benefit from official Republican policies, so… thanks? I guess? Was just trying to help you non-wealthy non-crackers.

So you recognize the danger you're putting yourself in by insisting you'd rather have nothing than only a little? That's what I'm getting out of this frothing mess of a comment.

Oh they are are they? Better let the dude explicitly in favor of Israel's approach win over the woman who wasn't mean enough to Israel I guess. And fuck all the other points, we've got standards.

Man, idk if I'm mad or amused. You either don't live in the US and your stance didn't change anything, or you do and going by your pronouns you're about to reap all the rewards.

When someone suggests the best solution to a genocide is making it worse, I'm going to call that person names, yeah.

You’re trying unbearably hard to come across as smart. Try less.

Reading comprehension is for people who paid attention in school. Nerds.

Through a postcolonialist lens this is pretty clever. Use of civilized as a term to excuse the racist and expansionist actions of one’s own country, expansion which happens to have coincided with railways being central to industrial power. Now the colonized are civilized, are we the barbarians?

Unironically thinking like that is the real ape-brained behavior.

This reads different if the woman is an economist.

As someone who studied econ, I feel like I should take offense ;D

Degenerate, in slang more commonly degen, is more or less a term for a low-life or morally repugnant behavior. It seems to have been picked up by the stock market gambling community (which is kinda funny in this context, didn't know that), but I recall it being a thing over a decade ago in the circles that community is enmeshed with, such as 4chan. Was used to denounce gays, masturbation, that kind of thing.

“Often try,” more like almost always. There isn’t a word in economics that I’ve regularly heard used correctly. Not a fucking one.

My favorite, which is not from Econ: degenerate.
