I read them. Nowhere near as virulent as what Farrakhan has been saying for decades. Again, nobody cared then for some reason. IT's almost like the offensive content isn't really what is driving people crazy, it's the loss of

The article describes the life of a bum/leech. I don't think most people aspire to live their lives as a leech.

If you find yourself in a pile of shit, you can whine about it and stay there, or be demoralized for awhile as you crawl out.

You blame them for taking the Republican message hook, line and sinker - but the alternative party does nothing but demonize them for their gender and skin color and tells them they have some magical privilege and that they're to blame

And Hitler had decent paintings, but if you're willing to be associated with him then you get the whole package. Farrakhan has 30 year history of antisemitism but that's ok, certainly not as bad as Elon owning Twitter, right? Also

It has everything to do with the article. Anybody who claims the discourse on Twitter is too negative now while having no problem with Farrakhan, ISIS etc over the years can't be taken seriously. My mind can be changed though. Can yo

Detroit is pretty cheap, as is most of the rust belt. Not just the city proper either, but many of the suburbs. Right now you can go on Zillow and find hundreds of houses for less than $100k in Oakland & Macomb county, just north of Det
