Gotta say that sounds fun, though. Know where your food comes from. Everybody's gotta eat and deserves to know what goes into producing what they are made of.

Depending on the surrounding context, it actually isn't that bad of an idea. I do think a lot of "shit that just has to be done" is better served as collective duties instead of "let the poor people that have no choice do it".

That being said, it often also ends up rife with corruption (see conscription/draft dodging tactics) in current contexts. And it can be used as a punishment instead of a duty.

Also, in this specific case, it would essentially be free labour in service not really of the common good, but in service of privately owned farms, which I think are romanticised a lot. Homesteading is not the standard, most are actually already pretty big, and consolidation is still the name of the game.

I am pretty sure the solution the system will land on with the current trajectory of things will be an even more intensive use of prison labour.

Forced voting would probably have far greater positive effects on the economy and country as a whole than forced labor.

Nope. The racism, fascism, bigotry, it’s all him. It runs in the family.

His not being in his kids lives is great for them.

Except for little Kevlar. He already seems disrespectful by picking his nose and smearing it on the Resolute desk LOL. I'm pretty sure he told Drumph to F off, too, which is both funny because Drumph deserves it, and disrespectful because that's the fn president....

None of those things are hereditary. They are taught and passed down.

Okay. But can you see that others who might be more sensitive about their male pattern baldness could feel unwelcome in this community?

I understand the point that a cruel man does not necessarily deserve protection from cruelty, but what's the point of mocking him for his looks other than cruelty?

you're allowed to mock supremacists for their appearance. they claim to have superior genes, they should be held accountable for it. it's always the fugliest motherfuckers too.

this particular post is different too I feel. it's less about baldness per se and more about hairstyle. like wtf is he doing. being bald does not make that hairstyle ok, or immune to ridicule. he was rich back then, he could afford to look better.

too bad he can't do much about his troglodyte face and body.

Elmo is a chinless, balding, dickless wonder boy. Dickless because of failed vanity surgery, and it's why all his kids are IVF. You got to wonder at the self delusion that thinks HIS genes must be propagated lol. His First Lady Drumph wears a rug, has shoe lifts, slathers herself in make-up and wears girdle and diaper. They both hate their real selves, which is very understandable.

I'll say this, he looked better then than now. He looked capable of happiness with some mental work then. Instead he had a shit ton of plastic surgery, declared himself genetic perfection, and became the most deadbeat dad ever. At least his ex daughter has indicated that that may be a better parenting decision than being involved without serious changes to his behavior.
