It’s not an attack, you don’t need to get so defensive. It just stood out to me.

Why do you assume the waiter is a she?

The owner is evil, but anyone who doesn’t tip a waiter that earns too little to be able to afford to live is an asshole.

Rich people know that they are exempt to most rules and sometimes they just want to impose them on others.

If this happened at my school people would thank op for making the assembly less awkward

Not true. It might be that people with illnesses that cause a higher risk of heart attacks can also make it more difficult for them to go out and meet people due to low mobility or chronic pain or fatigue.

While agree with the sentiment, electorialism will never end capitalism because of the power imbalance where capitalists will spend all their money if they need to for heavy propaganda campaigns in favour of capitalism.

Your energy is better spent on small scale organising your workplace, to make sure that you and your coworkers can actually use the only leverage you have through strikes.

Dehumanising really isn’t effective against nazis, because it implies that actual humans aren’t capable of atrocious behaviour while we’ve clearly seen that they are. It’s always better to call nazis/fascists/imperialists/colonialists/racists/homophobes/etc by their name.

‘A system that counteracts those selfish tendencies’ you mean a system in which:

• housing is not controlled by companies with no moral incentive to keep them liveable and affordable?
• people don’t learn from a young age that their value is directly connected to their willingness to fuck people over for money?
• there is no monetary incentive to create artificial deficits in essential goods like housing and food?
• the whole economy is not based on ‘cheap labour’ and the illegal extraction of minerals from other countries?

My ex never used deodorant and he didn’t smell bad. I think for some people it works and for others it doesn’t.

I’m sure homeless people and victims of the opioid crisis in the US also don’t care about US achievements in for example the olympics but people still talk about them.

Where in Europe do you consider islam to be more than a ‘cultural category like Christianity’? Most European countries have large Christian conservative political parties that are preventing trans people from getting the medical care they need and women from having ownership of their bodies when they’re pregnant.

As a trans person fundamentalist Christians are a much bigger threat to me than fundamentalist muslims. I experience solidarity from muslims who know what it’s like to be marginalised and discriminated against. There are muslim people who would like to restrict my determination over my own body, but there are way more Christians in my country who would like to do the same and they pose and actual threat to me.

Wanting to ban mosques, the quran and muslim clothing like niqabs sounds pretty fascist to me (that’s what the biggest political party in The Netherlands wants). Thinking the European far right (that is rapidly gaining grounds) isn’t fascist or fascist leaning is a wild take.
