imagine if these people were capable of turning their righteous indignation toward their surroundings. obviously they have no principles until the war drums start beating but it consistently amazes me how oblivious they are to the world around them.
of course there are about 300 million holodomor references in the thread as well, take a peek if you want to see the :grillman: to :frothingfash: pipeline in action: https://reddit.com/comments/tsarwx
These same people would rabidly defend a supermarket chain throwing out literal tons of edible food into locked dumpsters, under the premise that homeless people are lawsuit machines.
You can even point out Good Samaritan laws specifically prohibit lawsuits over food poisoning from donated food if there was no harmful intent; they don't care.
famous clients of lawyers: homeless people
Criminal defence lawyer here - lots of my clients are homeless tbf
Yeah, but typically none of your clients are suing a supermarket chain in a dumbass get-rich-quick scheme from a 90's propaganda movie.
Yeah for sure lol
Wonder how long those laws will stay in place as we go deeper into the Cool Zone?
They're usually extended. What passes for mutual aid in the imperial core us charity from the poor to the poor for the most part. It filters into the benefits of the ruling class if the surplus population keeps itself alive with minimal cost. It's why aid needs to come with a strong message attached.
Like how Food Not Bombs insists it's not a charity, because it isn't designed to be patriarchal?
No
Armed militias will be used to guard your local gas station dumpster in exchange for lottery tickets.
When things get to that point, local gas stations won't exist. The military loves to centralize control.
You'll have one gas station at the center of town, and you'll need to queue for two hours to get your gasoline lottery ticket, then queue for another two hours to turn that ticket in to a pump that's already been drained by a couple of privates selling the fuel on the black market the prior night.
i used to work at one of these supermarkets and they’d throw out like 5-10 perfectly fine rotisserie chickens everyday, not only wasting food but all those chickens just dying for nothing
Like, at a certain level, food waste is going to be normal in any country that produces the kind of surpluses that the US yields. But anyone who tells you people going hungry just deserve to suffer need to be buried to the hips in the agricultural trash we turn out daily.
There's no reason for any of this, except greed.
