I can't believe we as a society have yet to come up with an effective counter to the "nuh uh!" defense
TAPPER: “You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist" shortly after. Why did you not wait?”
@KristiNoem: “Everything I've said has been proven to be factual.” 🤥
@jaketapper: “What you said is not what happened.”

Capitalism justifies itself through artificial scarcity—through reinforcing the idea that only the rich, as übermenchen, deserve the resources to live an enjoyable life; everyone else must work & scrimp until they reach that goal
