crowder seems to have largely disappeared from the GRIFTERSPHERE, after video of him assaulting his wife. and there are instances of him Sexually harrassing MALE-only employees too.

It would be nice to counter that with "OK, no more SNAP but minimum wage rises to $50/h"

[-] saltnotsugar@lemmy.world 165 points 2 days ago

It’s hard for me to understand how someone can be such a piece of shit. Like yeah, let’s let children starve for no reason at all.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

He basically disappeared because there was video of him abusing his wife who then divorced him. He is obviously a piece of shit from all of his "work", but in case anyone thought it was all an act for the grift... He's also a piece of shit irl.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 94 points 2 days ago

No reason at all?! Are you kidding? They're doing it for profit. It's all for the bottom line! If a few kids starve, who cares? Most of them are brown anyway.

[-] gustofwind@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

I think they also genuinely enjoy it and believe somewhere in the future whoever is left will thank them for it

[-] snooggums@piefed.world 16 points 1 day ago

The funniest part is the stores and their suppliers are pushing for SNAP benefits in the interest of profits, so the profiteering is fighting itself.

[-] axx@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I think it's more than that, they are heavily invested in a rather nasty version of the "just world hypothesis": if bad stuff happens to these people, like being poor and hungry, it's because they are bad and deserve it.

It's the same logic at play for blaming victims or rape and sexual violence.

Because the alternative, that the world isn't fair and horrible stuff happens to good people and good things also happen to horrible people, is too unpleasant and exhausting to contemplate and requires complex thought.

Literally how he gets paid. He's a man-child whose every act of petulance and grotesqueness fattens his wallet and raises his social media profile. The only reason he's not filling the hole left by Charlie Kirk's neck is because Nick Fuentes, Ben Shapiro, and JD Vance all scrambled in first.

Because if you give a moron someone to look down on and they'll empty their pockets for you

The sad thing about the pandemic and the shift in the political scene is that waaaaay too many people are shitty this way. Not just rich people either. Being a shit human being has gone viral.

SNAP shouldn't be necessary for anyone who works. The fact that in America someone can have a job and yet still needs SNAP to survive is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. Pay people a living wage jfc.

I disagree. Pay people UBI so any job automatically becomes a living wage.

[-] Digit@lemmy.wtf 18 points 1 day ago

You're both right.

A new law should be passed, if you have a job and qualify for SNAP then your employer needs to increase your pay by 100 percent until you don't qualify for SNAP anymore.

[-] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Or we just stop the system where the corporations could buy laws to enable this, and their brutal enforcement.

The reason why laws are important, why you believe they're just, is because they're supposed to be the aggregate will of the people, and in practice, they're just not.

The only people ive ever talked to who thought the state should need to support someone who was working full time with food and housing and stuff is tankies, actual ML's who believed that that should be the core of the state. I guess in their ideal world there wouldn't be anything fucked up about that, but we don't live there.

It's not just the laws that are fucked here, its the entire system of law as thing that expresses and protects what people and communities want that has been almost precisely reversed in function, and whose enforcers make all of us live in fear. That's what needs to be fixed. The underlying systems that are not doing what it says on the package, because that's not what they were ever for. To continue trying to tweak the gun to your head until it cleans dirt off your floor is insane and unreasonable.

What did the Walton's for example actually do to control this much of the economy, to direct so much of it to their own whims and personal enrichment with no regard for or even explicit exclusion of the rest of us? Who thinks it was anything that deserved that kind of wealth?

Edit: yeah, 'just'. Repeating wasted labor to fix a system that's working perfectly an only wants to manipulate you is a lot more work with greater human cost than ripping the band-aid off and remaking society.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What did the Walton’s for example actually do

I have a chud ex-friend who died on the hill of defending the Waltons (and other maga bs). Dude had always been an asshole but reached new lows of pathetic boot-licking with the Waltons. It's seems strange but that's actually the hegemonic ideology. Completely normal.

You can imagine how that went.

They're always so proud of upsetting other people, like it's a major win in the struggle for political dominance.

"I shat in the mall. You can imagine how that went."

[-] Aneb@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago

Legitimately every Republican I met is defending themselves, from taking money from the Government, while every leftest is fighting for everyone else to take money from gov programs. Why are retardpublicans so worried about poor people taking from the rich while also stealing the same benefits from working Americans who need it. "Riches for me but no one else" is literally their tagline

[-] prole 3 points 1 day ago

Because they believe empathy is evil

[-] biotin7@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Correction: empathy is a made up thing

As in that's what they believe.

[-] prole 2 points 1 day ago

I've seen both sentiments

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Thats a lot of words for 'Selfish'

[-] prole 2 points 1 day ago

It's deeper, and far worse, than just selfishness

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

They’ll say “if they’re clever enough to not pay taxes then that’s fine by me!” as billionaires pay less than 1% real tax because they get to write the laws and then they’ll claim that a city bike lane has stolen their tax money.

They’re stupid as hell. Like, profundly fucking stupid. Conservatives are so pathetic and I’m embarrassed to be considered part of the same species as them.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Why are retardpublicans so worried about poor people taking from the rich

Because capitalism goes the other way and every single politician is capitalist.

[-] verdi@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

That's a mighty big neck ya got there m8.

[-] bampop@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

"change my mind" is just an open invitation

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

I guess adding lead to it would change it.

[-] discocactus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Technically destruction is change.

[-] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 46 points 1 day ago

Shit like that doesn't need to be debated.

Even in Ancient Rome they had a grain dole that... paid for itself! With interest! Because the poor who would otherwise struggle to buy wheat or barley got it, and could buy other stuff, even luxury items. The result is that more and more trade flowed directly to Rome and people made a bundle doing it.

And also less hungry people means less desperate people and it means more stability. Something that basically everyone wants.

But yes, these same right-wing grifters even attacked the grain dole in Ancient Rome as if it lead to the fall of the Roman Empire.

And yet I was denied when I applied for PPP and I lost my business

[-] papalonian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Well duh, you're probably a poor and wouldn't have paid the loan back.

If that's 33 years, then that would mean an individual gets $2121 a year, or $176 a month. Either the SNAP benefits are garbage or this person is exaggerating.

[-] Manjushri@piefed.social 89 points 2 days ago

SNAP benefits per person are very modest. Nationally, average monthly snap benefits per individual are $187 per month.

[-] LordCrom@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Well, look at these moneybags with 187 a month. My elderly neighbor on a fixed income gets 17.00 a month.

[-] plateee@piefed.social 51 points 2 days ago

It's garbage.

Barely enough to survive on, and if you try to get a second job to supplement income, better hope you don't go beyond the income limits. In Alabama, that's $1,631/mo or about $407 per week. If you make $408? Congrats! No more SNAP.

Everyone who had the opportunity to take out massive PPP loans and default on them is a sucker.

Anyone who believes you're going to shut Steve Crowder up by calling him a hypocrite is an even bigger sucker.

Someone who thinks they can work for Steven Crowder without being sexually assaulted and then fails to press charges is the biggest sucker of them all.

My guy shouldn't be on the Quad spouting rage-bait, he should be in jail for serial rape.

Also this piece of shit doesnt have a mind worth changing. Just ignore him and use the calvin version of the meme, or better yet dont use that format anymore.
