LONG HOT TAKE- short version moral superiority is ruining community.
Controversial hot take: nobody's perfect. The moral superiority flying around right now is the reason why we have cliques not community. It feels like purity culture which in this climate im not surprised.
The human experience is to make mistakes and learn from them(to a certain extent like r*pists and people who hurt animals and children dont apply here).
Im tired of seeing people be canceled for the SMALLEST things and then cant return to the internet over it. People are suppose to learn and grow from making mistakes and if you cant give them the room to do that youre no better imo.
Im so sick of seeing people argue over small things like Spotify (YouTube has the same if not worse ads and every major platform has these ads now and im not spending a week between working to transfer things over spend 20 bucks on a VPN and burn like 30 CDs)
ITS DUMB!!!! then the same people act like their shit dont stink. Its tiring researching every ast artist, company, food vrand, clothing brand, shopping center, job, etc. When its all shit! ALL OF IT. Now im not saying drop boycotting im just saying if you cant boycott it all you aren't a bad person if you cant!!
The people who make these boycotts dont even take into consideration that back in February this year the big no spend blackout landed on a day everyone on SSI got paid. The people who make these boycotts are PRIVILEGED. You are PRIVILEGED if you can manage all these boycotts bc it means you have the money for the pricier more "ethical" options and youre shocked when we cant afford it with time or money or energy and call us garbage for it!!
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism!!!!! Do not drive your self crazy because Rebecca called you a bad person and youre the reason for genoc*ce for living in a food desert and your only option was McDonald's your friend bought you.
Don't let Bob get to you when he says you should be spending all your time and money just burning CDs you cant afford with a CD player you cant find or buy with a VPN you need to not get caught on a laptop you dont have or a compatiblephone you dont have.
Don't let Alex bully you for not gardening your own food in a rent raised every year apartment you can barely afford because the cost of living goes up. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SELF make a community for your self. Remember kids you go so far left you turn right at a certain point.
