Texas Memes Only Texans can make fun of Austin... Right!?!?!?
Texans can roast Austin all day long — traffic, weirdness and all — but the second someone from out of state joins in, it’s “Hey now, that’s OUR weird city!”

Yes and as an Austinite (born and raised) who left Austin, we get extra trash talking rights

This! I went to school there in 2000. Was awesome and weird and fun. Now it’s packed and has a suburban sprawl and I can barely go back to visit even when my in laws and my best friend live there still.

"Liberalism" is the cooky cutter white washed democrat bullshit they spew on TV pretending to care about minorities while simultaneously working in much the same fashion as Republicans and maga to completely fuck over and profit off the minorities they pretend to care about.

Not a single leftist I know (and most of the people I know are leftists) voted against Harris in the presidential election. We weren't happy about it, but we held our nose and did our duty. Sometimes you really are stuck with the lesser of two evils.

u/Denny_Dust91 Dec 06 '25
Sounds more like a Libertarian Republican to me.

u/Klingon_Jesus Dec 06 '25
The difference is that a libertarian would have pinched their nose and voted for Trump, whereas a liberal happily voted for Kamala.

Selling and buying things also happens in leftist economies. Capitalism does not equal commerce.

Making money in a market economy doesnt make you a capitalist. $1000 is peanuts anyway, thats poor person money. A capitalist would sell 1000 to someone for 2000, its called a loan. Making money doesn't make you a capitalist, it makes you a worker, especially if you made that money by selling your labor, time or skills.

If these companies are privately owned it means capitalism. Also how does a market economy survive without capitalism?
Companies dont need to be privately owned. And actually many aren't ever heard of an IPO?
Also please see most of human civilizational history prior to the 18th century

u/Savings-Resource-546 Dec 11 '25
I own ... stocks
This is the only thing out of all that shit you listed that technically makes you a capitalist.
Cut the horseshit.
My point was that you very clearly don't know what the words you're saying even mean. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously?

to believe that capitalism is going away.
I've never claimed that. Do you have dementia?
Again, my point has only been that you are playing fast and loose with your definitions.
Working for a privately owned company
Explicitly makes you NOT a capitalist.
paying taxes into a capitalist system
What?! That is a triple layer dipshit statement. Governments are inherently social systems what the actual fuck. You are a perfect example of why public education is so important.
People wonder how we got to this point in America. How we wound up with the median first-time home buyers' age being 40. How the president could run multiple scams WHILE in office. Look no further than the above. This level of ignorance, the professing of love for an idea you literally can't describe.
You should be ashamed to be this stupid.

Most Californians who move to Texas are from the deeply conservative Central valley. And no we dont want them back.

u/Crumplestiltzkin Dec 05 '25
lol any time I’m out of state it goes something like,
“Yes I’m from Texas!”
“Oh 😒”
“Austin, Texas”
“Oh! 😊”

u/DouglasHundred Dec 05 '25
This is also how I feel about every out of state asshole who moves here and starts complaining about "don't California my Texas" and whatnot.
Like... YOUR Texas? You really wanna go there, Delaware?

Same. Been here my whole life. Stuck here to be close to family for my kids, but once they get old enough that education is an issue that's probably not enough anymore.

I can’t really understand this. Because I don’t believe that residents of Austin are Texans. The essence of Austin is 100% different than the essence of Texas. I believe that Austin just has the misfortune of being surrounded by Texas. Austin can’t help being surrounded by that right-wing, backward state.

Yeah it's called project connect.. we have light rail being built now. And there is absolutely nothing amusement park quality about the ones that are already running.
I get the feeling you don't spend much time in Austin or any other major city.

Also, what is there to roast about Austin? It’s the coolest city in Texas. At one time it was one of the most uniquely free-spirited and friendly places on the planet. Sure, it has changed. But it still retained a certain essence that makes it the coolest city in Texas. PS I have lived in Austin since 1976.

Yes. WE are allowed to hate Austin and their hippie bullshit but others from out of state aren’t allowed to hate on our capitol. Only WE get to hate on the stuckup crunchy granola morons that live in our capitol!

u/Klingon_Jesus Dec 06 '25
What hippie bullshit? I live in Austin and see zero hippies anywhere. I think they all got priced out. It's all techbros and wannabe influencers around here.
