 @user-1074 
 
 those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
 your thoughts
 
 like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
 be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
 so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
 
 so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
 think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so...
 fuck 'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to
 consider.
 
 It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
 consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
 So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt
 people, but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not
 unlike this kind that I'm writing right now)

 oh, reddit. you're so silly.
Typical day for a neoliberal:  • Wake up at 10 AM in my 5-over-1 apartment in the “Arts District” of a major US city.  • Walk downstairs to a conveniently located coffee shop (since I live in a mixed-used zoning area) to get a half soy milk half oat milk latte with a vegan scone made by a queer Guatemalan migrant bakery.  • Ride the train to work while listening to “The Daily” podcast. Nod in agreement whenever Michael Barbaro goes “hmmm!”  • Get to work, immediately take lunch break. Grab tacos at the immigrant-owned truck conveniently located across the street. Talk about rewatching DUNE last week.  • Back to work after lunch, spend 4 hours ruthlessly exploiting the working class in the global south & outsourcing American jobs to China.  • Busy day at work: got to close 2 coal plants and a steel mill, import 1,000 Haitians to build windmills and ADUs, and demolish 200 single-family homes to make way for low-income shipping container housing before 5 PM.  • Done for the day, take train back home, listen to NPR on the ride home.  • Gym time! Time for low-impact Pilates in an old factory that was converted into a loft space.  • Grab dinner with my polycule at a Sweetgreen, pay $25 for an endive & kale salad with soy protein.  • Head down the street to a local hard kombucha bar, throw back some brews with the boys they/thems.  • Stop by CVS for my monthly COVID vaccine booster.  [text continues in next picture] [continued from first picture]  • Get home, time to unwind by playing video games that solely feature female and/or minority protagonists.  • Time for bed, unwind with a nice glass of warm soy milk. Read Why Nations Fail before going to sleep.  This post has been fact-checked by gun shooting, Ford truck driving, steak eating, high blood pressure having, liberal hating, slightly jaundiced, Walmart shopping, Fox News watching, small-town living, real bonafide American Patriots. 1 like = 1 prayer.
