i'll start: most "vote blue no matter who" liberals are actually good people (not including terminally online liberals as anyone who is terminally online is a bad person)

    I'm torn on the CW stuff. On the one hand, how do these people handle living if there's cheese everywhere? When we're driving, there's billboards with cheeseburgers everywhere.

    At least twice (when this has come up in past struggle sessions) I've seen comments that say "of course seeing cheese is not actually distressing to me, but the object of the CW is to make animal products more taboo." I don't think that's an appropriate reason to use CWs, and I don't think we should entertain that type of dishonest argument from comrades.

    The status quo is fine, but this was a miss.

        I get the "casual cruelty can be exhausting" sentiment. I bet everyone here is exhausted at times over capitalist cruelty being presented uncritically.

        What got frustrating about the prior struggle sessions was people claiming the type of acute distress that warrants CWs, but occasionally backing off when the "what do you do when you see a billboard" point was raised, then no recognition of the dishonesty that exchange implied.
