Bullshit. Go John Brown on them. The oppressed have not gotten freedoms just by asking nicely.
To be fair, the fighting would be guerilla warfare which the us hasn't been that great at dealing with.
Idk why people are down voting you this is hilarious
Ok but doesn't that just mean that all that mad entertainment just kinda sucks if it's not doing it's job, and you can find that sort of joy around you?
But muh capitalism
Maybe in the context of this instance, sure, that caveat is applicable. Outside of this place, out in the real world, it isn't.
The good ol us of a
Some people can't afford the cost of giving a shit, and expecting everyone to have the same levels of economic freedom and access to food and clothing needs as you do is a position coming from ignorance and privilege. Even thinking of moving as a voluntary thing is from that same position.
If you can be vegan and can afford to live that lifestyle, great, that's a moral thing to do.
If you're starving on the street you don't have the option.
The fact veganism is an option some people can choose and others can't makes it a privilege.
When you're in desperate levels of food scarcity, you don't have room to be picky. When you are relying on borrowed/stolen/passed down or thrifted clothing, you're going to wear what you can get.
Veganism is an ethical choice, but it's a choice some people aren't in a position to make.
That's what makes it a privilege.
Oh man I'd love to, but with the current voting system and the two parties, it's between a shit sandwich and a shit sandwich with razors in it.
I think that calling veganism privileged is a response to the more militant vegans who don't realize that economic hardship and food scarcity can make their version of veganism unsustainable for some people.
If someone is being a shithead, fuckem. You go your own way. Sometimes that's hard, sometimes you can't do it right away, but you leave them in the dust.
This seems more like a promotion for his trip than anything.
Look, making friends is easy AF.
For friendships to form you have to have proximity, a shared experience, and continued interaction.
In school you had these pretty easily, you were stuck there most of the year and experienced the same things, and you interacted all the time. Eventually you found common ground and boom, friends.
Hard to do as an adult, but here's how to do it.
Get a hobby or an interest, then go to a meet up of that stuff. You like anime? Go to a con. Cars? Car show. Whatever.
Then everyone there already has a built in ice breaker! Talk to them about that thing you're all the for! Ask people about themselves, get interested in others! Everyone loves to talk about themselves. You'll make more friends in five minutes getting interested in other people than you will in five years trying to get someone interested in you.
If they seem cool by the end of the event, say "hey you seem cool wanna hang out some time?" And exchange contact info and then talk to them once in a while. Then hang out when you can. Introduce them to other friends you have, they will do the same.
If they suck and are assholes, don't hang out with them anymore
That mode of thinking only works if you assume all potential partners are the same. There are women who don't want, nor expect, the guy to pay for everything. There's stories of relationships getting better when men open up and women really appreciating that. Saying you'll be alone forever is not only a hard sell but also a lie.
While it's really messed up to force the idea of competition down any kid's throat, competition itself isn't necessarily bad, right?
Why tf would you associate with men who would punish you if you don't "live up to a masculine ideal"? You're not out of the "masculinity rat race" if you don't do something that some people see as not manly.
If you're a man, you get to define what masculinity is and means. If that means monster trucks and guns, cool. If that means baking cookies and taking care of a baby, cool. You're a man so by default everything you do is manly.
You can just beat the crap out of everything with the wrench and the only consequence for death is... Moving 40 ft to a vitachamber. Bioshock is a great game but yeah you should just try to finish it, it's great.
"white-nose, apple-jack, stone-wall, chain-lightning, rail-road, hail storminsling-talabogus, switchel-flip, gum-ticklers, phlem-cutters, joleps, skate-iron, cast-steel, cock-tail..."
Deadass was about to come in here talking about switchel, that shit is bomb AF. #switchelyfe
Ok but you see, that was part of the plan all along!
Real chads lift everyone around them
