I just think it doesn’t matter. We live in an economy designed to suck every possible penny from every person and pay them the least amount it possibly can, to ensure the enrichment of the 1%

Someone wants to keep a few more bucks in their pocket rather than spend more in some principled stance that will change absolutely nothing anyhow, I’m not going to judge them for it. Life fucking sucks for just about everyone in the US right now, to varying degrees. On the list of things I might judge my fellow man for, that seems ludicrously privileged and self centered.

You don’t get to decide who is poor enough for it to be “OK” for them to buy the cheap tier. I mean, sure, you do get to have that opinion of course, but man I’m sorry I think you are really kind of a jerk to have this attitude.

So you’re angry that the poor are choosing the cheap option (🤔) because it helps the wealthy win? You’re righteously indignant because they ignored that “Doing without is an option” and decided to spend some entertainment dollars in a way of their own choosing?

Ok, but I don’t really find that very convincing.

Let’s not forget we’re dealing with the Administration that lied about Hatian immigrants eating pets, and when called on it the VP (candidate at the time) said, "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do.”

This is straight up victim blaming.

That’s fair! Stories like this remind me that not every single thing is going in the wrong direction, just yet.

I’m worried that there’s an additional layer of meaning here that is too deep for me.

Thanks, I edited the title and body!

Not a meme

There, I commented it for you this time.

Good point that makes sense!

Sure, but if fetuses are people, you should be able to take out a policy at about 6 weeks.

Perhaps I’ll retire there as a dental floss tycoon. Sounds like a good place.

I bet I know what you typed, and if so I bet I know why you deleted it, and it was the first thing I thought of too, and I laughed, and it was funny in 1984, but I agree it might not go over well today. 😄

The reason I’m making all these guesses is that’s also the reason I didn’t use a different screenshot with more famous dialogue from that scene.

Ghostbusters tried to warn us but did we listen?

I truly cannot fathom what gigantic pieces of shit Republicans are.

They are so cartoonishly, overtly evil. The fact that they can exist as they do and yet we’re all just getting up and going to work every day has got me considering “simulation theory” more seriously than I ever could have otherwise.

It feels like someone modded the game in between one level and the next.

Don’t worry folks, US police have a stellar reputation for rooting out brutality and injustice in their ranks. I’m quite sure appropriate action will be taken.

^{I don’t need the /s tag here, right?}

Yeah I’ve been a little surprised to hear that there are similar types up there, I don’t know why - I suppose it’s human nature.

What I’ve seen in recent years here has shaken and changed me.
