Capitalism? Or financialized hyper-calvinism? We discuss the issues on... Hexbear!

GETTING BY IS MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE GET IN THIS WORLD!

you greedy american pigs are never satisfied.

DEATH TO AMERICA.

THANK YOU. I legit have been yelling that under my breath every time I see that fucking ad.

All I can think of is this Debs quote

If you go to the city of Washington, and you examine the pages of the Congressional Directory, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of Congress, and misrepresentatives of the masses—you will find that almost all of them claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks.

"Getting ahead" by kicking off World War III with Iran, China, Russia, ALL OF THE ABOVE? Oh yeah it's feckless liberal time.

Getting A Head

It's called capitalism because heads will roll inevitably

e: also just found this forbes article with the same line from 2015: https://www.forbes.com/sites/yec/2015/08/11/how-to-get-ahead-instead-of-just-getting-by/
Dems just rehashing rightwing BS again

I gotta get ahead of all these random SOBs so I can be loaded and then stunt on everybody and be so rich I can give money away to help all the losers that I fucked over to get where I am.

not so much that they are made whole. I gotta drive a Lexus and wear nicer clothes and send my kids to a school with a Latin motto and shit.

i read these as getting ahead of the financial abyss and consequent dehumanification that lurks behind every working person and creeps up on them slowly but surely unless they're employed (and even that's not a guarantee of staving off the beast), rather than getting ahead of any actual people

maybe im giving her campaign too much credit though, idk. the people who wrote that probably didnt even think it through this much

Death to America

Every thing from them is so vague and platitudinal. Just like corpo-speak word associate graphs posted to various media.
