  • So you self-admittedly call people “bootlicker” as a reactionary statement, with zero regards to whether or not you could be spitting in the face of someone who is on your side.

    That’s uh… one way to get people on our side.

    You don’t have to be here to be “right”, but you’re not “raising awareness about the parasite class” by calling everyone under the sun a bootlicker because your 2 second assessment tells you that they’re a Reddit apologist. You aren’t helping by insulting anyone who dares speak against the consensus. You’re solidifying the stereotype of the “intolerable left”. You’re pushing away people who might be slightly misguided but otherwise receptive of education. You’re pushing moderates to the right.

    In other words, go off about your opinion, but don’t kid yourself into thinking that this behavior is productive.






  • By “this romantic idea”, do you mean the “richest man in the world” bit? I think people are responding under the impression that you think the idea of romance itself is propaganda, not the idea that romance is equivalent or superior to monetary wealth. That makes a little more sense; “tell them that love is worth more than gold so we can take all the riches”. Not saying I necessarily agree, but it’s certainly a less bleak outlook.


  • I don’t know anyone who says “I need (x of weight) worth of peanut butter!” And then uses the weight as the measurement.

    This isnt what that price is for.

    Say I’m buying ketchup. Bottle A is 725ml and costs $5. Bottle B is 967ml and costs $6. Giving you the cost / mL tells you which one is actually cheaper, not which one costs less.

    Everyone I know says “I need peanut butter. Oh, $6.97 is less than $8.27” and never checks the weight.

    If this truly is the case, be happy that nobody you know is struggling to pay for groceries 😉
