All I'm seeing is an article posted by you that is about you.

I cannot make you post truthfully, now that you know what you are being tested for, but you would rate very high on the scale measuring a general desire for chaos. These are real questions on that test and I already know your answers, 6ixStringJoker:

“I fantasize about a natural disaster wiping out most of humanity such that a small group of people can start all over”

“Sometimes I just feel like destroying beautiful things”

“There is no right and wrong in the world”

“We cannot fix the problems in our social institutions, we need to tear them down and start over”

Dilbert brings its comical insights to politics.

View the comic at https://dilbert.com/strip/2022-01-16 because it works better as captioned drawings than as a script.

The script for the comic:

Asok: I haven’t lost a debate since I learned to treat everything as a personal insult.

Dilbert: I doubt that method works every time.

Asok: Are you calling me a liar?

Dilbert: What? No! I’m just skeptical it works in every situation.

Asok: What data do you have to back up that opinion?

Dilbert: I don’t have any data. I just think it’s kind of . . . um . . . obvious?

Asok: So you’re calling me stupid.

Dilbert: No, no! Never mind. I don’t know what I’m talking about!

Asok: Works every time.

We're living in chaos right now.

You can knock it off with your Joker bullshit again, you mindless dipshit.

All you're doing is trying to attribute your own POV on me.

There's not a single quote above that your BLM/Antifa rioters weren't chanting every day in 2020.

Yup.

From where I am, looking at and working with Trump voters all day long, I can see very clearly how chaotic the typical Trump voter's personal and work life is. On the other hand, they see themselves as perfectly normal. Well, that is crazy on their part. They think they are being cheated out of what they deserve from life in America, but they don't do what they need to do to get what they think they deserve. (I am NOT reading their minds; Texas Trump voters say it out loud all the time. Maybe in other states Trump voters are reticent, but certainly not in Texas.) They cannot even understand what they need to do to get the life they want, let alone actually do it. If they did understand, I know they are too lazy to do it. They want a easy shortcut to all the things they think they deserve and if they don't get what they want, they are positive it is not their fault. The Joker handled that situation by going on a murder spree. The Trump voters are less aggressive than the Joker and they handle that situation by lying their heads off and cheating.

Joker's method didn't get the success he wanted and Trump voters' methods don't get the success they want, but the world gets a load of chaos from them.

Tell us again how everybody should rise up and murder their bosses and steal everything they own and how you are going to kill Trump and feed his body to the pigs.

The only crazy person left on these boards is you, Second, and Kiki and I have plenty of receipts to prove it.




I'll leave you to another miserable day in your miserable little life buddy. I've got shit to do.

The truth is you don't have any shit to do worth doing, 6ix. You know it and you always have known. Signym and 1kiki are as aimless in life as you. You're just wasting your lives and there is nothing that will change that. Somehow you hope Trump fixes it (Mister Only-I-Can-Fix-It!). In reality, life continues for you as it always has until you kill yourself with tobacco or a gunshot to the head or some other suicidal activity. By the way, you won't be in the first hundred Trump voters I know who killed themselves out of excessive stupidity, foolishness, inattention or stubbornness.

Too late I realize you won't click the link, so I will give you the relevant quote from the first seconds of the video: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves.” (The crowd cheers) - Trump at 2016 GOP Presidential Convention. I know Trump voters can defend yourselves, but they won't because of their highly defective thinking in all situations. Like the good salesman/conman he is, Trump completely understands his voters while they understand nothing about their real situation or about their real selves.

I've usually thought secondbot was Catbert. But, yeah, Asok fits also.

Paul Ryan, Sen. Mitt Romney’s running mate in the 2012 presidential election and a former Speaker of the House, received Social Security survivors payments for several years after his father died when Ryan was 16. He was so grateful that he spent his career obsessively trying to slash Social Security.

Ryan never agreed that life is full of risks that are largely outside one’s control, from a parent’s early death to living an unexpectedly long life. The point of a program like Social Security is to spread the costs of these risks across all of society rather than pile it on the shoulders of individuals who got a bad roll of the dice.

If you are worried about Social Security’s risk of a financial shortfall in the 2030s, don’t be. You may have noticed that the people telling you about Social Security’s impending doom are exactly the same figures who told us to be terrified about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction 20 years ago. The danger in both cases is exactly as real and frightening: i.e., effectively nonexistent.

You might assume that Democrats would constantly publicize how their party created Social Security and help voters understand how it works and why it’s an extraordinarily good deal. Instead, as recently as the Obama administration, they seemed embarrassed that they ever came up with it in the first place. President Barack Obama’s main focus regarding Social Security appeared to be finding politically palatable ways to cut benefits (although he did change course at the end of his presidency). But if top Democrats won’t educate us about why Social Security is a huge boon for Americans, we should educate ourselves.

The most important thing to understand about Social Security for retired workers is that it is an inflation-adjusted lifetime annuity.

A lifetime annuity means that once you start collecting Social Security’s retirement benefits, you will continue to receive the same amount (adjusted for inflation) every month until your death. If Social Security were eliminated, it is impossible to get anything similar from an insurance company.

• Annuities bought from insurance companies generally don’t offer any kind of inflation adjustment. Social Security’s COLAs were 9.9 percent in 1979, 14.3 percent in 1980, and 11.2 percent in 1981. No insurance company offer that kind of inflation protection.

• Social Security does not engage in any kind of underwriting: i.e., evaluating beneficiaries and charging them differently based on risk. But private insurance companies absolutely do. In particular, private market annuities are more expensive for women than for men the same age because women live longer on average.
