  its money. its always money. its never not money. if you feel in doubt about whether its money, rest assured, its money.

  why are conservatives so pliable with and with regards to money? well, thats a complete lack of morality.

      They satisfy their inherent need to be cruel and make more money. That’s where the expression “kill two people with one stone” came from.

    Honestly I just jump straight to evil. I like money as much as the next guy but I don’t do evil shit like employee a bunch of people I force to work in 36°C weather.

      If you’re not willing to sacrifice others for money, they definitely love money more than you.

    The money at their hips trumps the safety from their lips.

    It’s not always money. Cruelty is its own reward for these ghouls.

      nope. as much as id almost prefer it be malicious, id say thats adding more thought processing into these peoples actions than they deserve. they are morons chasing every dollar and the cruelty is an unnoticed byproduct.

      none of these sickos is sitting around trying to make peoples lives worse. they are only, ever, thinking of how to make their lives better. it just comes off as purposefully malicious to those with even a little empathy. these people have none.

      do not give them cognitive credit for acting better than the animals their actions show them to be.

  Cruelty is the point

    Exactly what I was about to post. Conservatism has drifted from “avoid making adjustments to elements of society that formed organically” to “do whatever lets you be cold in the face of suffering and injustice”. Not that the earlier justification was particularly insightful, but at least the rationale had some basis in trying to preserve functional aspects of culture.

    It’s all just based on the worst possible emotional justification. And how could they turn back now? That would mean admitting that they’d done immense harm by ignoring the result of their actions.

    Cruelty already implies intent so even if this comment weren’t trite from being plastered absolutely everywhere, it adds nothing.

      I was trying to answer the question, why are Republicans going after these protections? Because of cruelty. Not very insightful or unique, as you said, but it is the main reason.
