on the nothing good is free thing.
The way liberals minds work.
I was literally having this discussion with a brown coworker of mine, where we were both complaining about people not understanding the value of a dollar and complaining about high prices and taxes. I explained why nothing is free, and the stimulus checks are not free, they are debt. He basically listened and agreed through the whole thing, and then right at the end said- but I do think that they should just give people some basic amount of money each month so they don't starve.
Basically said he supported universal basic income.

This is how liberals and brown people think. It doesn't matter if they agree and understand in the short term with you. The word free fools them into socialism every time. If america is to remain a free capitalist system it must remain majority white, white males are the only demographic that seem to actually value liberty over security.
seem to actually value liberty over security.
It's not so much that, as brown people certainly value freedom (to an almost anarchistic degree). The problem is that only white males (and to an extent, the white-r Asians) seem to have evolved in a part of the world that selected for long-term planning and foresight. The rest are genetic lineages which never had to plan for winter, or deal in highly refined abstract concepts to make their long-term planning/projects work correctly. Basically, it's why democracy was a sham from the beginning.
A white man is capable of literally experiencing (internally, in his mind) the long-term-effects of his current decisions, in the now, almost as if his future is coming to pass in real-time, and adjust accordingly. Lesser strains of human are simply incapable of doing that, and suffer accordingly.
