If you think the majority of people would do things to better society rather than be lazy if they were given handouts...you dont know humanity all too well.

Would you sit on your ass all day and smoke weed, given the chance?

That just makes no sense at all. You can tell because so many people are not just doing the bare minimum to survive and sitting on their arse for the rest of their time.

People have desires and ambitions. Making sure that basics such as food, shelter, education and healthcare are covered won't change that.

See, I don't think you're "being an ass on purpose". I think you are either just an ass or purposely being difficult to no productive end.

Im trying to show the lemmings in their left wing bubble how the real world works and how the working people think.

I'm totally on your side, but I like to offer arguments I hear every day from working class people who are vehemently right wing Trump super capitalist/authoritarians

If they are "vehemently right wing Trump super capitalist/authoritarians" then they aren't going to listen and, as I said, you achieve nothing but antagonism.

"I totally agree with you but I'm going to pop your bubble and remind you that people who disagree with you to the extreme offer ignorant talking points and won't agree with you. I totally agree with your answers to but those people don't."

It sounds like you are trying to demoralize the left while pretending to be an ally. What are you hoping to accomplish?

IDGAF about your anecdotally derived cynicism, give me actual proof or stop making these claims as if they are undeniably true.
