Only the ones that don't agree with my opinions though.

I was reading cucks and simps opinions on reddit this morning about student loans, and all the cucks and simps in politics are like, "well if he is smart, he will wait until right before the midterms so the GOP politicians that vote against it are all fresh in peoples minds for the elections!"

And I'm like thinking, these fish are actually happy that their issues are being used as political tools instead of actually trying to solve the problem.

Anyway, I just think that's funny. Nobody even cares anymore about themselves. This throwing citizens in jail for politics reminds me of it.

There has to be an empathy tipping point where people who actually work hard get fed up with the handouts. Dunno when that will be though.

I think the next housing crash will do it.

I just cant believe our economy peaked in the middle of the pandemic.

It has to be the emperors clothes.

I hope it does crash but I kinda don't know if it will anymore. I think if the government did start wiping out 10-50k in loans that would only further drive up asset prices like homes. Like imagine what would happen to the housing market if all those kids suddenly don't have to pay off loans and could instead put a down payment on a home.

I think at this point that any sort of government liquidity injection into the market will continue to drive people into either being rich or poor. The more UBI and handouts the government gives poor people the less buying power the middle class who have been saving money will have, and the more the upper class can charge for tangible stuff. I think paying off student loans will essentially be the same as them handing out unemployment checks and child tax credit checks.

Best case scenario we sort of crawl our way into a 1990s japan style collapse, where kids are just jumping out of windows en mass and the birthrate drops to like 0 for a few years because of zero forward mobility and massive depression and America becomes the new UK while china rebuilds russia and the world.

Worst case instead of jumping out of windows they start pushing people out of them.

Maybe its because I live in the south west but I think it will be harder for the Japan scenario to happen here because of immigration. Tough to sneak onto an island in the pacific ocean where as here its easy to cross the border so population will continue to go up. It'll happen eventually but not sure if it will in our lifetime.

Edit: What a crash that will be though when both the housing market crashes cause there are less people and the stock market crashes as people try to pull money out of their pension funds before all the old people get it!

I was just watching a video about Japan and apparently they are very anti-foreigner there. Almost completely homogenous population and even as a white person apparently you can be discriminated against when you try to get an apartment. They will always prioritize someone Japanese over someone foreign

So funny that their country is just totally cool with it and hasn’t developed an army of screaming overweight blue-haired Japanese women yelling “Xenophobia! Xenophobia! Diversity is strength!”

And despite the complete lack of diversity, everything works out fine

this is a trend that occurs in every single nation that doesn't allow wide open immigration.

example: scandinavian countries

if you are trying to make 1000 different cultures all get along in your nation, you're gonna have a bad time.

if your entire society is one culture, you're gonna have a very, very, very good time.
