Get the Reddit Poopmug. The year is 2077. Location: Germany. Landmine culture has become so prevalent that insults are banned. Even the slightest hint that you made someone uncomfortable will see you behind bars. Never mind calling someone a dick, you can't even call someone a banana. They've banned that too.

Get the landmine culturemug. When left wing politicians lose to the dirty tactics of right wing politicians because they feel that their personal integrity is more important than protecting their constituents.
Alternatively, those left wing politicians who have embraced the fact that keeping their position (and income via corporate paychecks and inside trading) only requires maintaining the appearance of high road morality, which is easy enough to do by acting stupid and pretending not to notice when their supposed political opponents act in bad faith.

American People: The Republican Party has been subsumed by foreign money and fascist elements. They've now taken over the major branches of government in a way that the checks and balances system no longer works, enacting policies that represent a shrinking minority of the populace. At the same time, they push fake conspiracies and promote false reality constructivism to fabricate invisible enemies to justify their bullshit. Why do you keep pretending like they aren't acting in bad faith?
Democrats: When they go low, we go high.
*Democrats proceed to seize the high ground while Republicans proceed to seize the Supreme Court*
Anyone with a brain: High road defeatism is not a winning strategy.

Get the high road defeatismmug. A person who discounts or ignores societal or environmental problems because they believe that intelligence and technological prowess make humanity exempt from the natural processes that govern other species.
Also, a person who defers accountability to others.

Exemptionalist: The earth, environment, and all life are disposable in the wake of humanity. Population growth? Good for the economy. Species going extinct? Not to worry. That is nature's way. Think of humankind as only the latest in a long line of exterminating agents in geological time. Besides, if we have to destroy a rainforest, we are smart enough to place another one somewhere else. If we have to witness the extinction of a species, we are smart enough to create breeding programs. Resources? The planet has more than enough resources to last indefinitely. It always has and it always will. The fact that industrialization is destroying environments faster than anything humanity has ever seen doesn't change this fact. Don't worry. Be happy!
Environmentalist: The fate of mankind is closely knit to the well-being of biodiversity and the environment. Food is becoming more and more scarce and will worsen when the melting ice caps and rising ocean levels decrease arable land. We exhaust resources at a much faster rate than they can be replenished. We cause the extinction of species faster than they can be created. Destruction or degradation of biodiversity is irreplaceable because there is so much intricacy that we still don’t know. Millions of plants and animals die with deforestation that, unknowingly, may have been life-saving for humanity. Humanity must work to save the planet, and in doing so we save ourselves.

"Too late. I helped some old boomer pick up her groceries and she accused me of damaging them. She demanded I pay for them or she would call the police. What has our country become? It hasn't just gone adrift, it's gone agrift."

Get the agriftmug. A person or persons whose sole reason for existing is to ensure maximum productivity from workers while paying them poverty wages.
American Workers: My productivity has risen 150% since Reagan's inauguration in 1981, but wages only went up 10%. I can't afford a house even if I got 10 years of wages on the spot and even the cost of an ambulance ride could make me homeless.
Middle Management: Too bad so sad. All the value from your productivity went into executive bonuses. Did you know? Bonuses are to be paid to upper management first, and then to workers if there's anything left over (hint: there isn't). That's the definition of a bonus as defined by Reagonomics.
