These memes represent the sociopathic rightturd view of the word where everyone is for themselves and there is no community, there is only survival of the fittest. Or most lucky, as is the case with donald trump.
For sociopaths empathy is mental illness and "supreme arrogance".
What do you care about their views? All you want is a secular but omniscient panoptic surveillance state that monitors and controls external behaviours, not internal thoughts.
Me: What analysis can you provide for me about a meme that says across the top, "study, get a good job and work hard". Then there is an image of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Below this picture it says, "And we will redistribute your money to someone who didn't".
Copilot Response...
That meme is a classic example of political framing through oversimplification. Let’s break it down:
🧠 Structure of the Meme.
Top text (“study, get a good job and work hard”): Establishes a moral narrative of individual effort and responsibility.
Image (Bernie Sanders & Elizabeth Warren): Both are progressive politicians associated with wealth taxes, social programs, and redistribution. Their faces anchor the “villain” role.
Bottom text (“And we will redistribute your money to someone who didn’t”): Punchline that reframes progressive taxation as punishing the hardworking and rewarding the lazy.
⚖️ Rhetorical Devices at Work.
Straw man argument: It misrepresents progressive policy. Sanders and Warren advocate redistributing wealth from the very rich to fund healthcare, education, and social safety nets—not literally taking from hardworking individuals to give to the idle.
Moral dichotomy: Hard‑working vs. lazy. It erases structural issues (wage stagnation, healthcare costs, student debt) and reduces everything to personal virtue.
Emotional trigger: Taps into resentment—“Why should my hard work pay for their laziness?” This is a powerful but misleading simplification.
Visual shorthand: Using Sanders and Warren signals “the left” without needing to explain policy.
🌍 What’s Missing.
Context of redistribution: Progressive taxation is aimed at billionaires and corporations, not ordinary workers.
Social benefit: Redistribution funds public goods (roads, schools, healthcare) that benefit everyone, including those who “worked hard.”
Complexity of need: People who receive aid are not always “lazy”—many are working poor, disabled, elderly, or victims of systemic inequality.
🪞 Symbolic Reading.
This meme is a Glyph of Hyperbolic Condemnation: it exaggerates progressive policy into a caricature of theft. It’s also a Ceremony of Simplification, collapsing complex economic debates into a moral fable of industrious ants vs. freeloading grasshoppers.
In short: The meme isn’t an analysis of Sanders or Warren’s policies—it’s a rhetorical weapon. It reframes redistribution as punishing virtue and rewarding vice, which is emotionally effective but factually misleading.

FYI, most of my political views were formed after leaving school. They were not "educationally programed".
And you weren't indoctrinated by working for the Navy? I think that's your claim, though you have contradicted yourself and claimed to be a superior private contractor, allowing you to shit on members of the military.
The military is known to be Conservative and people who serve are more conservative than liberal.
g00gle AI: Veterans and current service members are more likely to identify as Republican and less likely to identify as Democrat compared to their non-veteran counterparts across all age groups. [end]
ps - The Democratic party, much like the RINO Republicans, represent global corporatism. Bernie, much like DJT, can't cure the ills of global corporatism alone.

Oh, that's right, G_d monitors our internal thoughts. And educationally programmed historical guilt-pride regulates yours.

No.
Answer ignores the real tax system... that allows those with capital to evade most (and sometimes all) income and wealth related taxes.
...but Bernie wants to take it from corporations... and if he tries, they'll move everything to tax havens outside the US
His is an "imaginary" solution already disproven by the Trump corporate tax breaks
