Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

In the past I used to audit 401k plans and the Vanguard fees were always the lowest. Let the professionals handle my target date fund, I certainly can't do any better.

I miss working in that service line because you felt like you were on the side of the people vs. the employer.
Fidelity has overtaken them the past few years, but it's not exactly much. Vanguard's S&P 500 index fund is 0.03% while Fidelity's is 0.015%. So for every $10000, that would be $3 vs $1.50.
 
I remember the "SJW owned" and conservative self help propaganda videos coming out about 10 years ago. I'm in that early 2000's age group so saw it take hold in my generation first hand.
Zoomer men absolutely ate it up, while Zoomer women were obviously disgusted by it and anyone that watched it.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that these SJW owned videos were the catalyst behind why Zoomers in particular are increasingly believing that political violence can be justified, and Zoomer men and women being politically divided between themselves.
I'm of the very firm opinion a lot of the SJW shit was pushed by corporations and corporate lobby groups. The idea of restricting speech, limiting criticism, establishing what is and isn't acceptable to consume was the goal. It also shot a major schism into left wing groups as traditional unions and working class people were thoroughly put off by the college style infighting, the hijacking of discourse regarding things such as cost of living, living wages and work conditions (safety, fatigue management, bullying and exploitative work conditions etc.)

The Anti-SJW stuff did start organically, and it was small. But the big reason I believe the same money behind the artificial explosion in the SJW shit started backing the Anti-SJW shit, pushing people toward embracing or voting for people who catered (and enflamed) the outrage whilst pushing the cutting of regulation and restrctions on big money and corporations.

I base this mainly off my own impression that the end goals of both the SJWs and the counter to it (which all ended up being recruitment for free market conservatism) only really benefit one group of people. Big money, the 1%. What really hammers it home for me the amount of times Google, Facebook and other tech companies have been caught playing around with social manipulations. I've seen videos of the autistic little cunts talking about how the human psyche has "hacks" that they use and put into their products to increase "engagement".

This whole "culture war" has been industrial-scale manipulation. Getting people from both sides of politics to act and vote counter to their own interests, and if people stopped being retarded, stop screaming at each other, take a step back and really think out what has happened they'd realize it hasn't been the average person "on the other side" causing these issues. It's been those creepy fucking nerds on Wall Street, in political lobby groups in Washington and in Silicon Valley. And it's been nearly 20 fucking years since someone shoved them in a locker, gave them a swirly or a beating and considering the shit that is being pulled, and has been pulled, it's something that is long overdue (and I count pants shitting blowhards with the social skills and self control of a sugared up toddler amongst that group)

This retard does know that the markets will recover, right?

I was pissed because I didn't get a chance to buy more stocks on Friday. I'm sure that Tuesday it'll go back up some
I'd give him a couple of weeks (or at least some proof) before I consider he actually acted on this shit. Seen it with a lot of twitter accounts, which unironically go "I will end my life/leave twitter/do ANYTHING but tweet all day if/when X happens.", then once X occurs, they might leave for a couple of days before they return.

Mostly agreed. I think what the issue was, is that after Obama's first term, where Occupy Wall Street was picking up and getting general support, they essentially "pulled the evil outta the box" and propped up leftists and the like, who up till this point had mainly been quarantined to the Unis and had not yet become the "main voice". And the Leftists ran with the ball, playing Divide and Conquer while the corpos watched the madness happen with initial happiness because their "enemies" got split. However, this would later start biting them in the ass when the leftists came out against them.
Meanwhile, the people waking up to this burgeoning madness went against the leftists as anti-SJWs; however, like any war that keeps on going on, you had many anti-SJWs who slowly radicalized in one or the other direction; while others became dependent on the YT/Patreon-bucks, and kept running the grift, because like the military-industrial-complex, their income relies on the culture war remaining relevant. Which is why they'll lose their minds over the smallest shit regardless of how important it may be IRL.
Someone should really tag Grummz in all the tweets he's previously made where he calls out pretty benign shit because he's "trying to 'save people'", essentially self-destructing for virtue points.
 
I've been reflecting on why people are like this, and it makes sense when you notice that "based" content was being circulated in mid 2010, literally all kids born in the 2000s grew up watching Jordan Peterson pwning the gays and conservative talk points masked as "self help". Trump uses his public image to be the embodiment of this "based" individual.

The old people voting for him either are gullible as fuck, or they are addicted to social media and want to feel young by also connecting with these brainwashed kids who probably don't even know how confess works. (Don't forget the grifters trying to mimic Trump's persona either)

You aren't immune to propaganda™
Coincidentally, this video popped up for me.
Basically saying no one is interested in stimulating debates anymore and only focus on the performance using Peterson as an example of someone manipulating emotions instead of using rationality. I didn't exactly watch Peterson but the clips I just saw in the video showed me his idea of ownage is shouting "no u" at people.

My scorching hot take is that their target audience isn’t capable of nuanced debates. They want one side (their side) destroying the other. Politics is a team sport to a lot of people and they want to see Team Red destroying Team Blue. It’s why they focus on Poli Sci 101 students who are naive and foolish enough to take the bait. They get annihilated outside of their comfort zones. The Lobster King’s brain is so fried and scrambled that even college students destroy him on a routine basis.
 
Actually fairly accurate assessment, I grant him that. Pointing out all the things Trump has said and how inaccurate, contradictory or ludicrous they were didn't stop him winning the second term or changing the minds of his core support base. The guy says one thing in the morning and then a completely different thing in the evening. You can't pinpoint if anything he says is genuine, and thus his actual political beliefs are forever an enigma, besides vague notions of "make america great again" which can mean a 100 different things depending on who you ask. You can't even judge his beliefs from his actions half the time, because he complains about his plans being limited by the courts, the democrats or "the deep state". However, unlike the twitter OP in question, I don't see this as a good thing.

Yes, yielding a gotcha moment from him yields nothing, because he practically believes in everything and nothing at the same time. He is a populist through and through. He seems like he holds all the power, but in reality he is a slave to the erratic belief structure of his support base.

If he doesn't placate to their every whim, he will end up in prison. And that's why he keeps ending up in these awkward situations where he tries appealing to both isolationists and neocons at the same time when it comes to foreign policy issues pertaining to Ukraine and Israel.

I never understood why far right downies love trump when he's the biggest Israel cuck I have ever seen,
also, wait, Israel will open fire in a week or two

I’ve got a fun anecdote about this point: back when he got caught hoarding classified documents (which was actually based and redpilled of him to do you libcuck) I was at a relative’s house with my family, and a close family member actually said, almost verbatim, “how could this be happening?? He was supposed to be making America great again™!!” in the most melodramatic voice I’ve heard them use in a long time… still didn’t stop them from voting for him again last November.

It really solidified my belief that this is a cult, and that being a migger has nothing to do with the actual policies of the administration.

I give it until Friday
"oy vey, we had to bomb another hospital again. a brown kid sneezed at us..... remember covid?"
also, I said this once and I shall say this again, it's a ceasefire. not a treaty. that doesn't mean anything. north and south korea are still at war and they have a ceasefire. also, yeah, they still shoot at each other. this isn't "peace"

Rightoids usually have a neutral or slightly negative opinion of Israel, but they hate libtards, immigrants and other countries more. Therefore they cuckishly accept being an Israeli vassal because they think it will get them something in return at home (it won't). A lot of online rightoid discourse is oceans of cope and justifications for why they actually aren't useful idiots for zionists. For example, the false narrative that Charlie Kirk was killed by Israel lets them pretend rightoidism isn't a jewish project, because even they are aware of how unpopular zionism is.

Looks like King Pedo has realized his cult is full of potential crazed mass shooters, I don't blame him for wanting to keep an eye out on them.

Half of his cult doesn't care because they only use him as a vehicle to get revenge on the libs and brown people. The other half barely knows anything about him, they only know him through memes which portray him as a based conservative maverick hero who gets shit done, and from there they project their own image of whatever traits they think such a hero would have onto him.
 
This is gonna be a winning message. Their anti consumerism is so hollow because their guy Donald Trump owns multiple planes a private golf course a ton of crystals and has sold a ton of worthless junk like bibles,nfts,nigger shoes and now a made in China phone.

This has always been something I hated about the consumerism discourse I feel like everyone shits on the working class guy just trying to have some simple pleasures or the little girl on tiktok who owns 3 labubus no one shits on kim khardashian for owning 9 g wagons.

Notice how when Trump brought up sacrificing for the tariffs he brought up little girls having less dolls, like why do literal children have to sacrifice while you own 3 jets ?

You can't make a THAT IS THE FREE MARKET THEY CAN AFFORD THOSE THINGS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argument because the tariffs are anti free market.

So young men broke for Trump and are regretting it hard being a young man myself my theory is that they are being squeezed hard by the tariffs I know I am, suprise surprise people don't want a regressive consumption tax in a cost of living crisis. The whole "we have to sacrifice for American greatness" thing rings hollow when Trump fought so hard to make his unsustainable tax cuts to the rich permanent

Look at the quartering. He defended Trump's tariffs saying "you don't need cheap junk" meanwhile he is a consoooomer worst then we could ever be. He owns a salt water aquarium he didn't' care about and paid someone to take care of multiple watches a ton of manbaby toys rc cars a plane he imports coffee and shitty gildan blanks to make his anti woke merch yet he wants to lecture us about sacrificing for American industry. There are made in America shits and he wouldn't use them.
It still amazes me that a lot of MAGA retards thought they wouldn't be paying for the tariffs

trump banned bump stocks, so this shouldn't be surprised by now. the Brady law was created by repubs. hell, most gun laws were made be republicans. I swear 2As are brain dead. also, trump isn't legally allowed to own guns. so voting for a gun who can't even shot one is weird.

It'll be funny watching USPG2 go from being scared of Dems taking their guns to praising gun bans done by fatty
