Counterpoint: Before men in suits we had men in blouses which not only did all of that but their war was also legal and the public received no benefits or guaranteed rights. We created our own men in suits as representatives to redistribute wealth of other men in suits and help each other.

Someone has to be saying it. If the bastards want to spout about getting rid of our migrant population, trans people, black people, etc then someone has to point out the real problem.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

Imagine how much better the world would instantly become if some rogue AI did that.

[–] missandry351@lemmings.world 15 points 1 day ago

I agree with this one

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 38 points 2 days ago

Its good that people can see that the emperors have no clothes and are still willing to put their necks on the line. But it shouldn't be just comedians who are supposed to be there to entertain us. It should be the citizen politicians we picked with our actual vote. Unfortunately they are all currently threading Trump's bullshit. They are literally swimming in it and its a sandpit made of bullshit. Its a trap.

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 102 points 2 days ago (10 children)

For real tho...who has a problem with Mexicans? They're chill af. They mind their own business and work like a beast. You need something done, find a Mexican that does that.

[–] raoulduke85@lemm.ee 62 points 2 days ago (5 children)

We also don’t mind helping you and will invite you to our bbqs which are fun as fuck.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And at those BBQs, they're gonna fix you a bomb ass plate of some awesome meat that they've been working on for hours.

[–] raoulduke85@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

And give you plates to take home!

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

White dude who has been to several Mexican family BBQs checking in. They are consistently fun as fuck.

Racists see the world as zero sum.

Privately, they believe that the Other (Mexicans, trans people, Muslims) holds the same views that they do. Some people do not mature/develop a theory of mind beyond a vague sense of tribalism.

Because given power, they would eliminate people unlike them, they assume that the Other would do the same.

Look into racist spirituality, ie White Identity - a common belief is something like racial “oversouls” which are naturally opposed to each other. Anything that benefits Black or Mexican folks are overt moves by those oversouls - affirmative action as a covert move to drive white men out.

The majority of these people don’t get into it/think about it enough to engage with the “oversouls” but I think it does align with their behavior. The internet has also unfortunately gotten things like Blavatsky and Evola into to the mainstream - dollars to donuts that the DOGE boys were introduced to those names on /pol/

Don't forget Curtis Yarvin, and his predecessor Adelson. They think democracy was a mistake.

Story as old as time, racists do. Anyone who sounds / looks "funny" is an alien, therefore bad. They could have a million of good interactions with "the other" and one slightly bad one, while they get a million bad ones and one good one from "their tribe", and they'll still rail on the "others" as a problem

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You know the Mexicans make way better food than whatever the fuck these long pigs make.

  1. People who’ve never met one, and find it easier to blame others for their issues than blame themselves or their friends.

  2. People who think white people are better. It’s not that they hate Mexicans, per se, it’s just that Mexicans are obviously inferior (or they’d be white!), and they’re getting all uppity, wanting to be treated like equals or some such nonsense.

  3. A combination of the above.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait until they find out that there are white Mexicans…

Any foreigner. They come here to make something of themselves, probably spent an arm and a leg just for a passport and the trip itself. They work retail/crap jobs and do whatever they need. You'll most likely never find a homeless foreigner in usa. Not saying they don't exist, but I've never met one.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I had a friend who with a partner had a small framing contracting company in Texas. He told me that they would only hire Mexican Americans/Mexicans because white boy bubbas were lazy and only want to fish.

Well, he's not wrong i can tell you that.

He's not wrong

Boring! I say pick a random person from a lottery and now they become the next billionaire that needs to be sacrificed for the harvest. 😊

They get to live in luxury for the rest of their lives and we quench our blood thirst for eternity. Win win!

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Pick 2 random people from a lottery everyone has to participate in and kill the richest person until everyone has the same amount of money

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Just invalidate all money and start over

I don't really have a counter argument.

[–] Theonetheycall1845@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Counter argument - they belong in the ground AND all of their money dispersed to the people of the world.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More of a supplement than a counter.

Let’s keep the brainstorming going: and regulations should be put in place to prevent there from being such a thing as billionaires ever again.

That's...not a counter argument. That's not even disagreeing. You're just saying it should be more.

Thank you comrade Burr

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Anyone got a timestamp? ~~I found some videos like this one with the direct part, but I don't feel like listening to the entire podcast.~~ Here it is folks

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

Thanks for that! I find the phrase “rabid with greed” to be really apt. Like a rabid animal greed is the only part of them that exists anymore , it is their entire being and only drive

[–] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 23 points 2 days ago

He meant what he said.

[–] Pinklink@lemm.ee 14 points 2 days ago

Burr go brrrrrrrrr

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Okay so I think I'm ready to resub to his podcast. I wasn't sure about him for a minute.

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's one of the things I respect the hell out of with Bill Burr. He says plenty of shit I disagree with, but also says lots that I strongly agree with. His opinions are truly his own and he'll voice them to a reasonable point. He's no one's parrot.
