âWhat if poor people abuse the system?â
The system intrinsically abuses poor people.
Hope this helps.
"What if poor people abuse the system?"
Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

I feel like in the past ten years, boycotting has stopped being a tool for forcing action on specific policies and become a form of harassment and monastic self-denial. Less âI will not be giving my money to you until you improve these specific conditionsâ and more âdonât touch the contaminated thing, lest you also become contaminated.â
Weâve also collectively forgotten how boycotts actually work. You need a lot of people (usually members of a large community or organization) to all collectively stop giving money to one specific entity until that entity changes its ways. And then the community or organization leaders have to publicly announce that they are all doing a boycott and state the conditions under which they will resume doing business with the entity.
You canât do a boycott on your own, the company you boycott wonât even notice.
You canât boycott a dozen companies at once, that makes your boycott hard to join and doesnât hit any of the companies hard enough for them to notice.
You canât have an effective silent boycott, the company will blame some other factor.
You canât do an indefinite boycott without conditions attached and act like the entity is forever evil and tarnished, that isnât effective because then they have no incentive to change their ways and will keep being awful.
I support âvoting with your walletâ and making personal decisions about who you will or wonât buy from, but that isnât inherently the same as a boycott and doesnât make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.
I notice something when it's laid out like this:
An effective boycott requires that the community/organization have a clearly defined leader/spokesperson or small group of leaders/spokespeople who can communicate with the entity being boycotted and the public on behalf of the community/organization.
The CEO/president/whoever has the authority to make the changes being demanded needs to have reason to believe that, when the leader/spokesperson says they're happy with the changes that have been made, the boycott will end. They also need to have reason to believe that there is some change that will be good enough to end the boycott, and the change can't cost more than they're losing because of the boycott.
You can't social media trend your way through a boycott.
Yes, you can call for public support, but the core community/organization needs to have a defined structure.
Between that, and the way an effective boycott requires a willingness to communicate with the entity being boycotted and accept imperfect solutions, it is fundamentally incompatible with the way the modern Left functions.
so cool how advanced the algorithm has become, it literally only takes like a decade or more of spying on all my internet activity and then it can expertly curate a selection of 15-20 youtube videos that i don't really want to watch, and then keep showing me those videos over and over again for a week so i can scroll past them again. the future is now
ur clothes size doesnt say anything. like it doesnt say anything abt u as a person but it also especially doesnt say anything about what size your clothes are
what I mean: "sexual intercourse" is as much a social construct as "romantic courtship," and you discover this very quickly as a queer person if you try to talk to able bodied straight cis people who literally think the only thing that counts as Actual Sex is penis-in-vagina penetration, like they call oral "foreplay" it's so dire. various people have a lot of vested interest in cleanly defining "sex" vs "not sex" for a whole slew of reasons (ex. censorship dodging and enforcing, conferring the social clout of virginity and prowess, finding and closing loopholes about premarital sex, deciding what relationships "count" as serious partnerships, ligating what is general assault vs sexual assault vs Something That's Definitely Probably Fine And Not Sexual At All, Actually, etc.), and it's really not something you can just fall back on as obvious common sense that people are dumb for questioning.
what I say: sex isn't real and you can't have it
actually the way society hates both perverts and asexuals is kinda funny. Real "Anyone who thinks about sex more than I do is a porn-addicted degenerate and anyone who thinks about sex less than I do is a loser weirdo or a puritan" energy

IF YOU DONT DO ANYTHING YOU ARENT ANYONE. SORRY
i think misogyny starts to feel like a lot more crazy of an opression when u process that we are half of the entire world population. half of all humans. and half of all humans have been systemically opressed by the other half in large swatches of the world for going on hundreds and thousands. h a l f. and we treat sexism like its somehow much less of an opression than other ones
