Fascist.
- Comment on Boy Dinner 2 days ago:
When you just dismiss an entire dish because “I’ve never had a good one”.
Have you ever had homemade? Raw rice noodles with a homemade cheese sauce? With spices and garnish?
I’ve never had a good apple pie. I hate apples, especially baked apples. At least I know I don’t like Apple Pie. But very much unlike you, I’m not going to trash Apple Pie or people who enjoy Apple Pie because I’m not an entitled piece of crap who thinks my choice of food is better than yours.

I am of the persuasion that rabies doesn’t exist.
I’ve never gotten it, so therefore it’s a myth.

Cool. Enjoy ICE or something I guess. Hope you don’t sprain your ankle or you might end up homeless.

Affecting change*. If you’re gonna criticize people from doing little things to shake up the system at least be literate.
Some people can’t do more. Some people don’t have the means to do more. People on disability don’t have the financial means to do more. So little things like spending less at mega corps vs supporting local is a little thing they can do. I won’t expect someone with severe PTSD who is on permanent disability like my actual partner is from trying to start a unionized business. But they can certainly try and spend less at the major grocery corporations.
But I’m curious. What are you doing to change society, other than vomiting bullshit on the Internet and claiming the high ground?

I don’t live in a country under dictatorial fascism. So I don’t need to start a revolution.
Also what revolution was done by a single person?
Rosa Parks refusing to leave her seat on the bus was the catalyst for the Civil Rights movement just to name one. Greta Thunberg as an individual is the face of climate change and social economic change.

Dismissing the average person doing small things is incredibly disingenuous of you, let alone anyone, to believe.

You said “All of us”. I’m not manipulated by “them”. I assumed since you added yourself into it that you were American.

Buying from your farmers market isn’t fighting capitalism. It’s just buying better local food.
Both can be true. If I spend $80 at my market, and $20 at Wal Mart, the mega corp is only getting a fifth of what I planned on spending for groceries. I really don’t give a shit personally if Wal Mart doesn’t feel the sting of not getting an extra $80 from me, I feel better as a person spending that locally on small individual markets.
I’m not trying to take down Wal Mart by myself. But I can do little things individually that helps.
And unlike you, I am honest in my reasons. You seem to be projecting some serious animosity against those who are doing little things to shake the bird cage.

Even starting a union owned business
Hey everyone. You want to change society? Just start a business. Easy peesy! Don’t make small changes in your life, make massive financial overhauls.

“You want to chance society. Yet you participate in it. Curious…”
I buy the majority of my groceries from a local farmers market. Things I can’t get there I buy from Wal Mart. I buy pizza from a local mom and pop shop, where they live above their restaurant. I do everything I can to make buying from mega corps a last choice decision. My partner and I will be starting our garden next year and growing a lot of our own vegetables. We’ll be raising pork pigs so we don’t have to buy factory pork. There’s so many little things you can do as an individual to choke off the billionaires.
But if you want to keep bending over like you seem to be acting, more power to you. Just don’t blame others for society collapsing.

I do not like this. I would like it to stop please.
Then do something. Why does someone else need to rattle the cage for you to break free? Why are Americans, who masturbate to the 2nd amendment, so afraid of taking back their country? There’s 350 million of you, trillions of guns, and merely a few hundred of them. Start turning the streets red.
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 1 week ago:
It just takes one person to start a revolution. Too bad the lot of you are waiting for someone else to start it.
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 1 week ago:
And Americans still refuse to do anything about it.
- Comment on Wealth inequality will destroy America. 1 week ago:
Americans let children die in schools to gun violence for decades just so they can uphold the 2nd amendment which by definition doesn’t even guarantee access to guns to common civilians, but hide in the corner when their way of life is being taken away from them day by day because “They have guns too and I’m a pussy”.
The USA is 350 million fucking cowards, and they deserve what is happening.

What’s funny about power is usually when you have power, you do something with it.
What have these old fucks done with their power other than just taking in tax payer money to line their own pocke…
Nevermind.

Oh you don’t need to throw the class problem at me. I’m very well aware, but it’s cute you think this is an attack on your Me-ma’s cookies while the scary black man has a cookie too.
But your grandma, you, and everyone reading this comment has a choice when it comes to democracy. You can vote for people to represent you who support your values, support your beliefs, and allow you to hold them accountable if they don’t do as their “employers” voted them to do. Voting for someone is a show of personal value. If you vote for a candidate who is anti-climate change, you are against the idea of climate change. I am married to a trans person and if I ever voted for someone who wanted to eliminate “transgenderism”, I’d be voting to kill my partner, thus not supporting their right to exist even though I’m married to them.
Are there much larger contributors to climate pollution that we should worry about? Yes.
Are there billionaires that are the cause of the majority of the issues in the world? Yes.
Should we fucking do something about that? Yes.
But until you or I are willing to put bullets through brains and have a The Purge event for billionaires, we need to vote for people who will actually do something about the contributors to pollution, or to reign in the amount of money billionaires are able to siphon from the rest of us. And that starts by voting for people at regional and city levels, and go from there.
Sorry, I believe your vote is a representation of you as a person. But that vote could be at the ballot box, or a college campus in Orem, Utah in September of 2025.

Did your Grandma vote for and openly support the massive campaign of exaggerating scientific uncertainty and overwhelming news media all while increasing consumption worldwide to 103 million barrels per day and promoting the development of the military-industrial complex to secure her interests?
If so, then yes she is also at fault for the reason it isn’t Cold in October anymore.

Depending where this is taken, in Canada most of our “cheese powder” is literally cheddar cheese grated extremely fine and dehydrated. So it’s literally real cheese, and not some test tube product.

My partner and I can afford some pretty reasonable dinners. But one of our go-to staples is literally a box of Kraft Dinner and sliced hot dogs.
We’ll make 3 boxes worth and fridge the leftovers for quick dinners for a couple more days.
Don’t be throwing slander at the vast usefulness of the glorious hot dog.
