Rittenhouse literally did nothing wrong.

Pro tip: Don't chase down and assault somebody who has a gun and is clearly retreating to avoid escalation. Throwing a skateboard at his head and trying to take his gun is *YOU* escalating, not him. He is perfectly within his rights to blow your psycho larping political revolutionary moron ass away.

Heh I forgot about the child molester part.

I don't even have an opinion on rittenhouse outside of that incident, maybe he's an asshole irl. But the incident people refer to is clearly self defense, and to not understand that just shows how little people know about gun laws in the US, or the reasonable use of force to defend your life.

Better ask YouTube if bringing a rifle to a political protest nulls my duty to retreat 🤔

Rightwing fiscal conservatism in the United States is more popular with men then women. There are all kinds of theories why. But I think it is obviously because they are less small minded about self-interest. People vote on their perception of self-interest in the end.

If you are Jeff Bezos, there is nothing particularly compelling about something like free education, healthcare, cheap housing any of that on the government dime. Making employment more streamlined from education institutions serves almost no purpose to a guy that has all the money and connections one could have.

His family -- those he cares about and his legacy of people not even born yet, none of them are going to need access to any of that. None of it is gonna help them. It is in Bezos interest 100% to oppose them. And he does.

However, consider some self-important jackass making good money. Here is the income spread for 2018:
Quote:
2018 Annual Wages
Group Wages
Top 0.1% of Earners $2,808,104
Top 1% of Earners $737,697
Top 5% of Earners $309,348
Top 10% of Earners $158,002
While its clear that Bezos might not have any offspring that will need this for over a century in the future -- most of these guys can probably just give a decent ride for their kid maybe grand kids. Then it is all on them.

Shortly after they die, as economic conditions worsen for most classes and things like crisis become more common, its likely their offspring will not remain well-off for long. There is a lot of backsliding in income and lifestyle for every class of person below those top 3 lines or so. It will not become easier to climb economically, it will become more difficult.

The thinking is too short term to be in their class self-interest. Because they are class blind however, they fall for the rightwing brand scam (set up by billionaire Rupert Murdoch originally) and sell out their offspring's future for short term gain.

It's a pretty a contemptible lot. Like a couple fat fucking christian toads that just bought a huge RV but don't want to pay for their kids college. Or some dofus that spends all his cash on east Asian immigrant sex slave wives rather than leaving something for his grand kids.

Small people.

Women are more likely to correctly identify what is in the interest of their family moving forward.

females are fiscal conservatives and social liberals because they spend all their man's money, who has some because he is an actual fiscal conservative.

Yeah bring the rifle, there maybe a bully. It's basic bully protection 101.

Bullying is an act of war on a 1:1 level, all bets are off if you've been bullied.

Important to note that if the bullying happened, bystanders are expendable.
