you mean “conservatism” was really just a mask for a complete disdain for society and a disgusting sociopathic belief that “only the strong survive”?
I wonder how long this guy would survive if he was completely ostracized from society for his horrible, harmful, actions?

I hope he won’t mind if the town takes back all the earnings he made from his socialist position.

I’m confused… if I am paying for Electricity and water, and it goes out, and I am asking for it to get fixed - how the hell is that asking for a handout? I am asking for goods and services I pay for, per our agreement.

After 4 years of Trump, you’d think we could stop calling stuff like this bizarre. Despite the spelling and grammar errors, he pretty coherently explains a mindset that a large percentage of the US population would agree with. That’s sad, but it really amazes me that some people still haven’t realized how uncaring many folks who “seem nice” can be.

American “conservatism” devolved into fascism a long time ago, it’s just that liberals didn’t want to listen to the socialists warning them.
Under socialism (state or libertarian) he would get a house, food and water and electricity, enough to keep him from the bottom of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The rest would be up to him.

It’s kind of amazing how all these wholesome, free market, only-the-strong survive public utilities function with no competition as complete monopolies granted by their government cronies.

Did you ever notice how the people who complain that their remarks were taken out of context never bother to tell you what the correct context was?

Paying for electricity and infrastructure is the literal use of paid goods.
By being incompetent, and directly contradicting the nature of capitalism, by getting what you pay for, this man is shown being an asshole from multiple fronts of not only ignorance, but cruelty as well.
Even assholes are bigger in Texas, you could drive a mac truck through this guy’s.

Incorrectly quoted too; it is the survival of fittest, not the strongest.
