    I’m not convinced that most of those aren’t just trolls/satire.

    Edit: To be clear, I know there are real people who believe this stuff. I’m saying there are a lot of people who infiltrate these groups for the lolz. It makes it hard to differentiate.

      At one time I would have agreed with you, but 400 YouTube videos of sovcits getting slammed into concrete, yanked out of cars, and dragged away in cuffs has made me realize that the algorithms used to promote content on social media puts these people in an echo chamber so complete that they think they’re really onto something and have become completely detached from anyone and anything that isn’t another sovcit shill.

      Many years ago and many miles away I held the same belief. I even engaged because it was funny and thought anyone who didn’t get that we were just messing around was dumb.

      I was proven wrong time and time again.

      I’m not saying this to get you to believe. You’ll either find out in your own time or these particular whackos will be replaced by a different set that a lot of us will think are just satire.

      Unless they qualify because they refuse to work because sovciv. If they are working and still qualify, then yea.

        No, not wanting a job is very understandable and anyway you can’t qualify unless you’re living on your own supporting yourself somehow.

          Yes, it is understandable. Not many people actually want a job. As long as they don’t act on that and are actively working (or trying to work), regardless of if they want a job or not, and don’t expect a handout from those who do work, simply because they understandably don’t want a job. Otherwise, that’s called being a leech and a drain on society and those who do work.

          Edit: or do you think everyone should quit their job they don’t want and get free handouts? How do you expect society to function if no one works, because no one wants a job? For that matter, who’s going to give you that handout if the person filing and validating it quits as well? Hmm…

      You forget that America* (an assumption on my part of this sovcit’s location) is a meritocracy and everyone deserves to be in the exact economic state they are in.

      Not like those conmie hell holes with social welfare.

      *It’s not just the USA, my country spends half its time punching down on the less fortunate too.

      There are 21 states where you can work full time and still qualify for 100% SNAP benefits. Every state has able-bodied work requirements in order to receive assistance beyond 3 months, within a 3 year time frame. Get off your uninformed high-horse I’m a moron
