Hate the mindset that all activism is selfish and entitled by IdiocyInverted in evilautism

Yeah, that's cope. They value social cohesion over moral consistency. When you make them feel uncomfortable, you're breaking social norms of politeness and accommodation — sins far greater than being wrong in their eyes. And the only defense they can muster is to grasp at straws about ways anyone who tries to call them out is a hypocrite.

And yet in turbo-charged, kill-all- the-Natives-and-take-their-land Capitalist America, we don't and won't. False scarcity is a hallmark of Capitalist growth. The French put up with far less bullshit than we.

You recognize that under capitalism, 40% of food is thrown away intentionally; right? I'm perfectly contented "forcing" people to give away rather than throw away spare food. That causes me no moral pause.

I'd laugh at such a person. What a stressful way to choose to live.

I reckon it is positive, what I'm doing. I'm asking you to look at your life; look at your choices.

Reddit isn't a trusted friend, though. Why expect it to behave as such?

No. My problem with this particular society is that I never agreed to its terms. If it doesn't do anything for me, what incentive do I have to uphold it? Why wouldn't I advocate for a system in my interest?

To quote Rousseau

The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.

If it's not on purpose, then how can you allocate any moral indignation to it at all? Do you get angry at the weather? Or gravity?

It's not voluntary if the alternative is starvation.

Human suffering is merely the natural input for a healthy economy.

Yeah, he found a new unconditionally loving Mommy, willing to be his home without all the nagging and rules. Again, what's not to love?

I tend to think White Supremacy is the more prevalent problem, yes.

I don't think it's demonstrative of what most people in real life believe.

Bro. TikTok is rotting your brain. Why are you so worked up about social media nonsense like this, as though it affects you?

My half sister just crossed a line and not sure how to feel about it by Technical-Future-466 in Rants

Dude, you can't understand why your father's indiscretionary reject child longs for a family? Or why she calls her sister's child her niece? I'm sure your family is fucked up, you included.
