Legitimately every Republican I met is defending themselves, from taking money from the Government, while every leftest is fighting for everyone else to take money from gov programs. Why are retardpublicans so worried about poor people taking from the rich while also stealing the same benefits from working Americans who need it. “Riches for me but no one else” is literally their tagline
They’ll say “if they’re clever enough to not pay taxes then that’s fine by me!” as billionaires pay less than 1% real tax because they get to write the laws and then they’ll claim that a city bike lane has stolen their tax money.
They’re stupid as hell. Like, profundly fucking stupid. Conservatives are so pathetic and I’m embarrassed to be considered part of the same species as them.
I strongly believe that greed is a vestigial trait from a time when scarcity was real. Ones instinct to preserve their bloodline would have necessarily involved greed, me and mine first. I also believe that some early humans developed the ability to overcome that instinctual drive, and we call that empathy. Life is actually a whole lot easier when you understand that greedy people are developmentally inept, their genealogy prevents them from having the ability to empathize with others. It’s not to say it isn’t a problem, but sometimes having an explanation to why a thing is the way it is helps understand it better.

It’s just the political party for people who can’t overcome evolutionary greed.
There’s nothing evolutionary about it. Humans have been doing altruism and cooperation for hundreds of thousands of years. It’s cultural.

That’s… Not how genetics works.
Oh you have a better explanation? I don’t see it.
Because they believe empathy is evil
Correction: empathy is a made up thing
As in that’s what they believe.
I’ve seen both sentiments
Thats a lot of words for ‘Selfish’
It’s deeper, and far worse, than just selfishness
Because capitalism goes the other way and every single politician is capitalist.
