I'm also fond of this response/meme:

You aren't worth microchipping.
Prove me wrong.
What incredible arrogance to think you are important
I understand the sentiment, but rather than them chocking I'd prefer just getting rid of this whole ordeal and have them come to their senses on this one thing at least. I mean, they can still be racist, homophobic shitheads if they wanna, just can we please make this one thing go away? We already got environmental collapse breathing down our neck, and it'd sure be nice if this pandemic could serve as a litmus test for our willingness to tackle that.
They haven't realised yet that they're prolonging the epidemic and destroying the economy

The funny thing is Trump is more in line with what the younger generation see as how to get on.

Grift and grab where you can.
Like I've heard it said Trump Steaks aren't that good quality just sort of regular person high end but priced to be very high end outside of regular person normal dining prices but it's been sold as the premium thing to have.

Same with plenty of other stuff it's not premium stuff it's the Trump name slapped on slightly higher than normal quality stuff and charging and absolute premium price for it. It's the portrayal of premium without truly being it. Trump brand products are like The Solider Boy Game console of products really just actually better quality to start with. The difference is Trump sells his stuff just below the price of the premium stuff on the market mostly so his stuff is the low end of premium so people will pick it up because it's cheap.

Trump is just the US version of the UK's Alan Sugar whose company seriously sells some absolute rubbish, like 5-10 years ago as MP3 was taking off Amstrad were selling an £80 (About $110) automatic CD changer & CD player combo thing.

For the most part Trump isn't a "I'll just buy out the competition or undercut the little guy to force them to close down" kind of business operator.
Well, I would say that Trump does a lot of this. But far too many CEOs do exactly the same thing

I can't remember how it's termed but Marx pointed this exact thing happened in his time and the fake value that made up will be destructive to Capitalism, including causing depressions. Looking at the Mark to Market policies that was meant to curtail made up evaluations increased instability before the GFC... as mortgage values were vastly lower compared to the hedge funds making up their own evaluation. I don't see any easy solution. Trying to restrict the gift was pretty damaging, but keep in mind that if that grift kept going, the GFC would have been worse. And your always going to have someone making up their own evaluation to makr things look legit

One is put to mind of Antoine-Augustin Parmentier. In Europe, the potato was considered to be a garbage food fit for animals.

so what did he do? He put guards around a field of potatoes. He gave them instructions to tell them it's for high end people, and he told them to accept bribes for people who simply had to try these potatoes. And then he withdrew them at night so people could steal them.

They eventually caught on, and we have the president day.

This is all to say... people have always been short sighted and will buy anything as long as their a name attached to it.

Also, by Jupiter is it wonderful to see the reaction of conservatives when their Gods commit heresy before them...
The ringmaster continues to lose control of his circus.
Bitches-in-a-boxstand losing approval of other bitches-in-a-boxstand. How poetic.

Another case of idiots being mad at a game for being "too political". Even though Suda51 has been about politics since Silver Case and Killer 7. Where do these assholes come from, and why are they this ever "surprised", shocked, or bewildered? No one answer, rhetorical question.

It’s pretty funny when Trump’s base doesn’t even listen to Trump on getting the vaccine.
The problem with stoking crazy is eventually the crazy turn on you the moment you stop sounding crazy enough.

Or put it another way: if you fuck crazy, crazy will fuck you back

BEING AGAINST RACISM MAKES YOU THE REAL RACIST, BRAWL! /s

Meanwhile, the cope flows like wine over the vaccine statement from Trump...

It's unclear why the group is drinking the chemical potion....
It's the fucking Bleach cult again and Miracle Mineral Solution rearing it's ugly head again.

For those who don't know about this the youtuber Myles Power did a large series looking into this shit.

So (assuming inhalation infection) they're coughing up blood, have meningitis, cardiovascular collapse? 50%+ chance of death even with treatment? Okay then!

I mean, you don't tend to get mild inhalation anthrax: "Oh, sorry I had to cancel the meeting last week, I came down with a bit anthrax but I'm okay now" isn't really a thing. You either don't have inhalation anthrax, or you're in very deep shit. And even if you have the safest form (cutaneous) where you have a very good chance of survival with treatment, you'll have one hell of a skin lesion to show off.
