Yep. It's seriously remarkable how deeply these fuckers have sunk their claws into our social fabric. Literally every possible tactic they can employ to suck as much money from as many people as possible, have been employed, consequences be damned no matter how severe. This cannot be allowed to continue

In this age where you can quickly spend thousands online (or even in person) without having to actually watch any of it disappear, and corporations are hiring psychologists to make their services and platforms as addicting as possible, you're gonna get a lot of this

I see everyone in the comments saying that Gen Z have checked out and are waiting for the end but I really don't think so.

I think it's never been easier to manipulate a person to separate them from their money and things are deliberately designed that way. Big shiny upgrade now buttons, services forcing you onto 7 day free trials for premium plans upon signing up, expensive yearly subscriptions for products that ten years ago would have been unthinkable as anything other than one time purchases, you name it. Capitalists have used the internet to minmax their penny pinching.

No sorry, it doesn't make comments like yours necessary and if you want to know why scroll up and read again

I don't even know what you're trying to say

This is a fallacy that's been deconstructed so many fucking times the fact im about to do it again for you makes my tummy hurt a little bit but ill do it anyways

You're interpreting that quote as there being either one issue we can globally engage in, or another. But that's not how it is. You could also go into any thread talking about violence against dogs, or violence against the elderly, or against Palestinians, and make the same annoying pointless whataboutism and you wouldn't technically be incorrect that violence against men is just as valid, but you'd still receive backlash every time. Why? Because you're using this issue that's near to your heart, violence against men, and instead of engaging with it in an honest attempt to improve the situation, you're simply weaponizing it against others and their cherished social issues to the benefit of literally nobody.

You put activist in quotes but let me ask you, what op eds have you written? What charities have you donated to, nonprofits have you volunteered for? How many bricks have you thrown? I guarantee you none, because every single time I see someone doing the shit you're doing, it's the extent of their "activism," and THATS where the quotation marks belong, on your shit, not anyone else's.

I wanna hear the bullshit that definitely came out of that guys mouth

If it's actually an important issue to you, why make your grand stand in the comments section of a post talking about a different issue

Canada and Mexico?? What the hell is he thinking

you should have tried winning

I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see

No only a test and you just passed. Congrats

The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America's military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me

Israel is getting full-throated bipartisan support

They're getting what

It's got soul which beats like 99% of vehicles on the road

I think magenta is the made up one. But also apparently most colors are existentially weird in some way

the reality tv star elected president fills up his cabinet with other tv stars and turns politics into a reality show, sounds like a fun tv show and one i really wanna watch. Why does it have to be real

If the Taiwanese people wish to be independent then they are. If they don't then they aren't. Simple as.

Literally nothing you do, say, or feel will change that, because it doesn't concern you at all. No offense but you're kinda just some powerless angry loser

the opposite of US imperialism is not Chinese imperialism, it's zero imperialism. But idk why I'm explaining this you don't seem like the type to understand anything that isn't a Disney/Marvel flavored good guy bad guy storyline
