Hard Political Facts for Hard Political Cats
Some Hard Realities that Both Political Parties Need to Face
Hard Facts that Democrats need to face
Most unskilled immigrants contribute very little to society, and the “diversity” they bring is actually a curse, not a blessing. They also bring a lot of crime.
Our society cannot have both a strong safety net and open borders. Pick one.
Minorities and women are no longer an oppressed class in Western society: they are simply pretending to be for the clout.
Nobody hates trans people or LGBTQs for their sexuality; we hate mentally ill narcissists who use their sexual orientation to claim victimhood status.
Human nature is not inherently good, it’s inherently evil, and that’s why rehabilitative justice alone does not work.
Hate speech does not exist, it’s actually just speech that you hate. When you try to censor people because you’re offended by what they have to say, you’re being a tyrant and they have every right to kill you.
Your political leaders do not actually care about abortion; if they did, they would have used the legislature to permanently enshrine abortion rights into law when they had a supermajority during Obama’s term. They prefer to use the threat of abortion being taken away to scare you into voting for them.
A refugee crisis is only a crisis if we CARE about the refugees. If they’re bad people or have values that are not compatible with our culture, it’s totally OK to let them die.
Hard Facts that Republicans need to face
Climate change is coming, and it’s a big problem. We need to put landmines or robot turrets at our border to gun down the future waves of mass migrants, or our society is in big trouble.
Strong social safety nets such as healthcare or infrastructure are more cost-efficient because they can leverage economy of scale. Sometimes that means indirectly paying for people who don’t “deserve” it because in the long run, it benefits us too.
Trickle-down economics does not work. It is just propaganda spread by economists who work for our oligarch class. Bubble-up economics is a much more robust system because poor people spend money a lot faster than wealthy people.
Republicans need to create an alternative tech ecosystem so that Democrats do not control all the modern levers of power. We can’t be Luddites.
Abortion is actually fairly popular and we’ll lose votes if you try to take it away. Besides, what tactical genius tries to STOP their political enemies from willingly genociding themselves?
It turns out that LGBTQ people do not actually enjoy being thrown off rooftops by Islamic extremists, which means we can potentially get some of the saner ones to vote conservatively if we just stop name-calling them so much.
You know trans people are the T in LGBTQ (so saying both in the same statement is redundant)?
Anyway I have a feeling that humans in general are a disappointment in part because we *are* so closely related to chimpanzees (which are renowned for their violence, after all). (I admire ants, because they do so many of the things we take credit for – wood ants even make their own antibiotic by combining their formic acid with tree resin – but better in many ways…)
Sometimes rehabilitation is possible, but only via creative methods most people wouldn't think of – I've recently looked into cults (reading two of Steven Hassan's books), and I suspect this girl I've mentioned before may be trapped in a personality cult (at the very least, it makes some sense of her previously-baffling actions). Even more interesting is that cult members can be misdiagnosed with various psychiatric disorders… I don't currently know anybody in a position to apply Hassan's techniques (the Strategic Interactive Approach and so on) there, but I'll keep thinking. Not that cult LEADERS deserve much sympathy…
Other than that, I agree with most of the rest.
