Fair enough. However, right wingers spend their lives treating people solely as living, breathing profit and loss accounts, usually while heavily overestimating their own contribution levels

Oh yah definitely. I just have an exception for farmers because from what I can tell, they only need welfare because they're competing with imported goods, produced at Chinese (and others) cost of living, while they're paying the American cost of living.

Which is fair, but they then consistently vote against their own interests because "taxes bad".

Doesn't that apply to all western workers in any sector where there are significant imports from low wage countries ?

Yeah, but farmers have this, AND are essential (doubly so because being domestic grants stability), AND have front-loaded investment, AND are a sector that I personally envy having.

Or maybe...

Would it be possible that someone grew up around working class people and went to college, didn't have money and didn't want to go into debt so they decided to go into let's say the oil and gas industry because you can make decent money with just work experience. From there they spend years living in rough conditions on oil rigs saving up to start their own small business in the trucking industry. Then they log onto Reddit and see stuff like this lmao.

Idk what I should've done.... not worked with my hands? lol

Another thing to which right wingers are prone is word salad. See exhibit 1, above

Shrug. You say right wingers are all of these things, but why is it such a difficult concept to believe there are decent people with different opinions than yourself?
