We’re in the middle of a new Red Scare, because whenever capitalism starts falling apart at the seams the only option to maintain power by capitalists is to instill fear about anything other than funneling more wealth upward to the 1%
Except drivers actually do that then cry oppression over giving up a foot on the edge of the road, and outright communism if you suggest a partitioned bike lane or improved public transit.
With the guarantee to never time out, I didn’t know student loans got traded like Pokémon cards akin to medical debt.
I wonder if you could get these buyers like you can get most medical buyers, with them not having the appropriate records to “prove” you owe it. 🤔I’m sure that loophole is probably closed for student debt though.
Counterpoint: Perhaps “Don’t buy from evil” is just a catchy way to share a sentiment and you’re taking it too literally/to an unintended extreme to be riled up as hard as you are about it? I see no intent from those comments in line with “fuck you if you give Bezos money” as you imply.
For example: Sonic’s “GOTTA GO FAST,” but in reality, he IS capable of standing around. “Gotta go fast” doesn’t mean his circulatory system shuts down if he doesn’t, it’s just a short catchy way to share an aspect of himself. In that vein, nobody’s kicking your door down if you get the specialized thing you need from Amazon, just saying that it can be beneficial to shop in other ways when possible.
Gotcha. I’ve always seen myself as a centrist, not particularly anti capitalist, just into safety nets and less car centric infrastructure.
