I am sooooo fucking sick and tired of people touting out that tired cliché to defend capitalists…

I think instead we should start saying “don’t let the manipulation by their benefactors stand in the way of the reality of the systems they maintain”.

I doubt anyone is expecting perfection at this point, I know I’m not (it being a literal impossibility and all), but them pretending to be “good” and you buying it, doesn’t actually make it any good at all (as I said - it’s just giving them the space to continue as they are for a fee that they will never pay, their trapped customers will).

Defending this bullshit as the good we should be happy to compromise for serves no one but the people running the oil companies (and the politicians they pay to ensure such legislation has no legs).

You are playing their game, and supporting their team, bathing in the placation of their greenwashing and letting them get away with it. That is what’s in the way of good.

So they can pay a relative pittance to keep chugging along uninterrupted, and pass the cost on to the consumer.
Yeah, that’ll fix things…

Letting the rich know people can get right up to them and mess with their shit is a good thig. Next time perhaps make it a cocktail party (just make sure no crew are around)…

A person I worked with years ago visited Bhutan, and showed us photos of weed growing everywhere, it’s literally a weed. They must have started smoking it at some point because a quick look says they illegalised it as a drug in 1999. They generally use it to feed pigs.

Na, I’m poor, and I’m not going to feel bad for getting some bulk household essentials at a significant discount today.

I get not wanting to participate in unnecessary consumption, but this classist view that everyone can afford to ignore big discounts on items they actually need (which definitely do exist among the other noise) is just another high horse people need to get off of and instead focus their energy fighting the system that leaves people desperate for discounts in the first place, not on telling those people off.
