I swear, those (almost-)extremist-rightwing tossers are some kind of clones, remember Donald Trump, Geert Wilders and Boris Johnson? This guy fits right in.
When I was underprivileged, uneducated youth, I got sucked into football hooligan/neo-nazi circles and actually met some „high ranking nationalist party members“. Two brothers, same haircut as this dude, 300 pounds, 30 yrs old and still living with their mommy in a smoke filled, dirty apartment with a giant swastika flag in the living room.
Thats what got me out of fascist circles. I was so shocked that people looked up to these morons.
This actually led to my belief that fascists actually mostly are uneducated and unloved people who get exploited by psychopaths. Those would one would need to take out (by legal means, naturally).
I recall something about this with Boris Johnson being intentional. That may be what’s happening here. It’s so bad that your political opponents fixate on it, and half the articles written about you are about your dumb looks instead of your monstrous policies.
Problem is with your 14 year old Hyundai, you probably don’t have full coverage, so your insurance is going to pay to fix his BMW, you are going to pay to replace your Hyundai, and your insurance rates are going up.
This is the same grouping fallacy as the vaccine arguments. A lot of these people have trouble understanding nuance. The vaccine can be harmful to some and beneficial to others, it’s on a scale and it’s impossible to know who falls where on the scale. That doesn’t mean overall it’s a bad thing to do.
For op’s example there are some leftists who are lazy and weak, there are also some who are ruthless and there are some that are ruling class elites. The problem is when their groups are applied to the whole to suit whatever narrative they want it becomes nonsensical and dangerous.
