No, we are still talking about me. Specifically about whether you believe a word you're saying when you criticize me. You obviously don't, as your love of Zionist sports franchises proves

Marxism provides a very good framework for distinguishing good forms of participation in capitalism from bad forms of participation in capitalism. It's not even a subjective scale, it's just about understanding who is actually causing the problem

Again: are you going to pay for my medicine? And are you going to let me audit your consumption for problematic behavior?

Hey dude any reason you're Mariners posting on your timeline given censorship of pro-Palestine artists?

Is it "cope" for me to expect you to sweep your own doorstep before you lecture poor people about their finances?

I'm on welfare you gargantuan right-wing creep. Are you going to pay my bills? Can I please audit your personal finances and decide what I think it would be "easy" for you to extricate yourself from?

lol so we're at the "I am going to just repeat what I said before instead of acknowledging your responses" phase of this

Don't you have a dog to kick or a wife to beat instead of taking out your irrational aggression on strangers?

Then it should be easy for you to explain what is incorrect about what I said!

"Rationalizing" is you pretending that your weird unsolicited aggression against strangers is grounded in principles that you obviously don't believe in.

Log off, boomer. Find something better to do with your time

Hey man, why is your feed full of links to Substack and YouTube, both owned by capitalist Trump allies?

If you don't think your personal finances are currently integrated in all kinds of problematic business models it's because you haven't looked at them closely enough.

Your fellow workers participating in capitalism are not the enemy. Capital is the enemy.

Can I bill you for the revenue I lose from not marketing my writing on Twitter?

Are you withholding your percentage of taxes that go to contracts for Musk?

Or is this another example of liberal "everyone should sacrifice but me" consumer activism?

A lot of people have made fun of this post but she is way closer to the truth than the genre of weirdo who gets mad at irony and jokes about fascism and thinks that we can only respond to it with earnest outrage
