10. Food for thought

Illustrated_Man posted:
I don't eat at chain resturaunts, I don't shop at wal mart period, I only shop at chain stores that have unions, I wish we had a decent public transportation system in this country so I didn't have to drive a car. I do everything I can to not contribute to fuck tards like the OP. I hope that one day we have a revolution and march on DC killing everyone in a suit and tie.

I don't mean to turn this into something personal, but you exemplify something I want to underline. Your strong, inflexible views make you a person who is easily manipulated into supporting or hating a particular candidate. By being such a rigid, reactionary person, you perpetuate the system we use of dividing people into irreconcilable interests and riding them into office. You may not drive a car, you may not eat beef, you may not vote, but you speak and write, I know that much, and to the extent you do this and perpetuate your inflexible extremism in others, you help divide your kind and empower us and those like us. Think about that.
