    You are mistaken. I am certainly no conservative. I’m able to think for myself, I don’t need a political party to do it for me.

    The fact: I know people personally that make more than enough money to live comfortably but they can’t pay their bills. Why? They spend their money on things they don’t need. This is not an opinion, I know these people. They are very good friends of mine, they are just terrible with money management.

    I’m not sure how this correlates to being classist or how it relates to poor and disabled people. I never even mentioned them.

    With that being said. Do you think this behavior is acceptable? Do you believe that we shouldn’t judge people on what they do with their own money, or do you believe that people should have some personal responsibility. I’m genuinely curious on what your thoughts are.

      Ah yes, the Conservative Party, of which there is only one. And you cannot be conservative without being loyal to a single party!

      If someone can’t afford their bills because they buy Starbucks and get food delivered then they don’t have enough money to live comfortably. Do I think this behavior is acceptable? No, buying Starbucks is bad. If they’re shoplifting then I support it.

      This is you: frothingfash “I’m not a conservative, but literally everything I have said in this thread is a well-known conservative talking point! I don’t need a political party to think for me, but for some reason I can’t think of anything to say except what a far right-wing American political party is famous for dribbling out to their propagandized reactionary followers.”

      What a weird coincidence.
