"pro-lockdown" and "why the fuck are we giving people so little money" tend to go together, in my experience. Lock down for a month or two, give everyone more than enough money to cover rent/food/utilities and some entertainment (to keep from going insane), and greatly reduce the spread of this virus. But here we are in the US with a paltry $600 coming after the entire duration of this stupid, stupid pandemic. As to "defunding police", I like to rephrase it as "fund people, not police" - use those budgets to give people help before they get to the point where the police get involved, rather than having next to no safety net and a bunch of cops itching to use all the military hardware they've got. There you go, some coherence. Have a nice day.

Stop that. This thread is for inferring people's intentions and then coming up with appropriately cartoonish motivations. I personally think the author of this article is trying to give people clinical depression. But I'm having trouble figuring out how that fits into their leftist agenda. Maybe it's because leftists are themselves lazy and unmotivated, and they want to feel better about themselves by sabotaging others? But wouldn't they see that it's unfair to hurt other people just because of their own inadequacies? I don't know, what do you think? I can't figure it out.

  Hm, guess the joke’s on me. I was being a little over the top but I was thinking somewhat seriously/curiously about the left agenda. Haha :-)

  Here is a cartoon that pretty much sums up where I suspect the author of this article is: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/ea/6f/25ea6fd2546b3f007af4f3916f1b556f.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/ea/6f/25ea6fd2546b3f007af4... To be precise, they are in the top four panels, not the bottom five.
