    Then you got to go to church if you want to stay out of hell. God just fucking hates us.

        I would have said god is a fascist. There’s a real “do what I’ve decided is best for you, or there will be hell to pay” (pun intended) vibe throughout his interactions with humanity.

        But he does always seem to need money, so maybe you have a point.

            Yeah, the fascists currently in control of the GOP are very much capitalists too, for example.

    A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.

    The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

      I’ve heard this a few times and wholeheartedly believe it. But I don’t know any sources, when I’m asked. Do you happen to know any?

      Start talking to your coworkers!

      Even if you don’t convince your workplace to unionize, you’re laying the groundwork for the next person who tries.

        That’s true, but it’s easier said than done. As someone who already experienced job loss once this year, I’m not looking to go through with it again. I have to look out for myself and my family first, unfortunately.

          The only thing that communists hate more than the West is the idea that people can obey a higher power than the state. Is it really much of a shock?

            It is not a shock whatsoever. Religion isn’t called the Opiods of the masses because it serves no purpose. Surgery before Opiod derived medicines was insanely painful, and Opoids completely changed that and revolutionized surgical practices. While at the same time destroying countless lifes due to its addictive qualities. The analogy isnt dismissing the power of Religion or God. More so contextualizing its place in society and trying to find a healthy relationship in stead of a toxic one.

    I like the facts, but know nothing about Dale Earnhardt. Was he not a typical Republican?

      Dale Sr. never really spoke about politics one way or the other, but it’s worth noting that his son is an open progressive in an industry that appeals almost entirely to the Conservative crowd. Is there any reason in particular you think Dale Earnhardt was a typical republican?

      Edit: after a little more research it seems that Dale was probably a traditional Southern conservative but not what we would call today as a MAGA conservative. An excerpt from this article reads:

      Dale’s daughter Kelley recalled an incident that occurred in her childhood, when her father placed a bumper sticker reading “American By Birth / Southern By The Grace Of God” on the rear of his truck. The family’s black housekeeper mentioned that the sticker, which featured the Confederate flag, made her uncomfortable. Dale immediately took a pen knife and slashed the flag off his truck, leaving the expression of Southern pride while divorcing it from the region’s sour history.

      It’s hard to say, while he did grow up stuck in a western town, outside of racing there’s not much else known about his life outside of what’s been show by him and his son.

      You can’t make assumptions based on the stereotypes.

        I know, that’s why I’m asking, for all I know he was very liberal. I’m not a NASCAR guy by any stretch and don’t know anything about these guys, but I know what the fans tend to be like.

      Yeah, seconded. He’s in a business surrounded by right wingers and right wing fans. It would be highly unlikely that he didn’t lean hard right, but sometimes these guys surprise you. Like Garth Brooks being a super-popular country singer back in the day but being very liberal - of course that political stance wasn’t talked about at all during the height of his fame.
