distant sound of kettle whistling

Ever see those pictures of people forcibly pressed on their knees, getting sprayed by the bravest riot cops?

If you want to know what tear gas feels like, believe me, you don’t.

My presence in Seattle in 1999 would stop my political ambitions before they started.

Take off every “Zig.”

You know what you doing.

Move “Zig.”

For great justice.

That wasn’t the bootlicker’s argument. The full context of what he was arguing was “businesses doing whatever they want to make money is good actually and voting with your wallet is all you’re allowed to do no matter how systemic and societal consequences harm you.”

Me with a student teacher that begins to realize that 90% of the job is just passing out standardized tests and drilling for the next standardized tests:

In reality they’re a minority of about 100:1

You care too much

You’re a minority of one that’s been posting for hours while complaining about other people ostensibly caring too much.

How many more hours is your circus going to be running today, corpo clown?

In reality they’re a minority of about 100:1

You care too much

No one else here is licking boots like you are in this thread and you’ve been doing it for hours. You care that much about other people caring about corporate greed fucking them over, as well as fucking society and the planet we live on.

You instantly resort to name-calling and personal insults

Because this website is an echo chamber

Yeah disagreeing with a tiny army of lemmings

You’re an exceptionally hypocritical crybully that gets off to feeling so very smart by being contrarian in a thread full of people that dare to acknowledge reality, unlike you.

and hope you stop crying

You can log out any time you like and return to a circlejerk website of your choosing where you can all pretend you’re free thinkers for agreeing with each other there.

When the later-retconned-to-be-mirror-universe-because-too-prestige-tv-edgy Lorca character cited Elon Musk as some great scientific hero.

Shhhhhh! Don’t give away the game.

The bootlicker’s ignorance is producing such amazing takes. I want to keep this bootlicker going as long as possible.

You seem to care a lot about not caring. You keep posting. That apathy is looking as hollow as your ideology.

Hurting people for profit?

Yes. If you weren’t ignorant, you’d understand that “it’s just business, businesses exist to turn a profit” and implying that’s a good thing and the best possible system means lots of extra pollution, safety corners cut, and sometimes even bloody coups for the sake of additional profits in far corners of the world or outright slavery in impoverished nations. Again, all for profit. That hurts people. You’re that dense.

Just stop fucking whining about it all the time.

Stop whining about people calling out an obvious reality that you don’t like.

You’re a corporate slave only if you choose to be.

People around the world don’t have that choice, especially when toxic waste is dumped where they live or when their governments are destabilized and replaced with puppets representing corporate interests to further loot their lands.

This isn’t some 1984 dystopia as you try to make it out to be.

Of course that’s your only frame of reference. Because you’re ignorant.

You’re a free person and I believe in you :)

Your concern trolling attempt, smiley and all, makes you sound like the juvenile contrarian that you are.

You care too much

You care a whole lot about performatively not caring. Contrarianism for its own sake is juvenile.

Of course they don’t give a shit. Why would they? It’s business.

“Hurting people for profit is cool and the best system should reward more of that!”

You are incredibly fucking ignorant and pathetic.

LARPing as your corporate masters by admiring their ideology won’t elevate you.

Licking that boot won’t earn you the privilege of wearing it.

Why does a corporation’s opinion of you mean anything?

Because they don’t need your simpering sycophantic posting here. They got legal teams and lots of political protections.

Why do you care if they care?

Because they’re making society and the world worse entirely for profit and they’re also conditioning ignorant people like you to stan for them.

You choose to use their products.

In general, not as much as you think and when I have no choice to do so, that isn’t a choice, is it?

Nothing is free, and if you don’t like them earning money by showing you ads, don’t use their products.

You are a laughably pathetic bootlicker if you’re sinking to those thoughtless platitudes.

Pollution happens whether or not an individual buys into the product. Erosions of personal legal protections happen when the lobbyists encroach a little more. “Vote with your wallet” does absolutely nothing at a societal level but I think you’re too willfully sycophantic to understand that.

disagreeing with a tiny army of lemmings

You think you’re standing against a both-too-weak-and-too-strong army of conformists by… stanning for corpos that don’t care if you live or die.

That’s sad.

That’s not the implication at all

It is, even if you say “nuh uh.”

You’ve come, voluntarily and unsolicited, to stan for corpos that don’t care if you live or die.

The weeb shit is just the cherry on top

Using an emoji is weeb shit? Okay boomer.

lmao

Ending with that doesn’t hide your impotent rage.

Because this website is an echo chamber

that hates big corporations

Your own implication is that being an enlightened free thinker is to stan for big corporations, for free, that don’t care if you live or die.

You’re fucking pathetic and I feel sorry for you.

Until the walled garden method and tax write-offs remove such things from the internet and leave them entirely to the realm of archiving and piracy, if that.

Have you been paying attention to what Discovery and Netflix have been doing?

Have faith in T H E C L O U D

Boomers have done it for years as a lazy erratic way to emphasize words, seemingly because of all the accumulated lead setting in, and boomer heroes like Trump do it all the time, normalizing it further.
