gone leavin’

Read Debord.

Ben and Jerry’s isn’t making an empty advertising gesture. They company has supported Bernie Sanders, and made an ice cream flavor to raise awareness of global warming. They run progressive news stories on their websites and social media. They pay their workers a living wage. Even their brownies are sourced from a company that specializes in hiring people out of jail to help them get their lives back on track. They’re open supporters of socialism. I understand the idea of “no ethical consumption” but Ben and Jerry’s isn’t just adopting a political message for nothing.

Blind cynicism will make friends look like enemies.

Strong ideological opinions are difficult to sustain if you allow for nuance. If you admit there’s a way for a corporation to act in a reasonably ethical manner, it undermines the argument that capitalism is inherently amoral and must be eliminated. Refusing to recognize any distinctions between corporations also relieves people of the individual responsibility for their choices under capitalism, which is how the “no ethical consumption” principle ends up justifying doing whatever you want until the revolution comes.

Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings

This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”

Great! How do I uninstall it?

“great! how do i uninstall it?” carries the same vibe as “thanks! i hate it” but more ACTIONABLE bc we gettin our shit together in 2k18
