    I had some relatives fighting so hard to get their kids a voucher to go to a better school. I kept thinking why is it then that you vote to defund education? Shouldn’t you want schools to be better in general?

    But no, they just went great schools for their kids in particular. Fuck everybody else.

      Me, myself, and anybody I care about. Everyone else is Woke. Or whatever slur they’re drumming up this week.

      I plan to have no children and still realize the benefits of better schools for everyone. Why would I want to live in a future where the next generation is a bunch of idiots, there are already enough idiots in my own generation

      It’s this about everything. I remember arguing to my grandmother, who told me flat to my face, she only cares about her and her own because “it’s a dog eat dog world”

      In-group, out-group, fascism etc.

      I can’t remember the full quote or who wrote it.

      Or: rules for thee but not for mee

      I have a friend who’s dad immigrated to the US from Mexico initially illegally but managed to get citizenship, then voted for Trump back in 2016. Said he wanted to put the first brick in the wall. I hate people.

      When you drill holes in every boat so that everyone else will leave, even the fanciest ship you choose will be taking on water just the same.
