First they came for the porn…

gestures at the rest of the thread

The person who made the image had a cause they cared about and did something about it. If you care about those causes you should absolutely do the same.

Otherwise you just sound like you’re lashing out at people who are doing something about something, while you are doing nothing about anything.

By the way, how many of those causes have you called your representative about?

Others too

Oh no! All the real issues would hang been solved if only I hadn’t taken 5 whole minutes to sign a petition for SKG!

that doesn’t mean everyone can afford buying one outright

Generally that’s what mortgages are for. Considering rent needs to cover the cost of [ mortgage + expenses + the landlord’s profit ] anyone that can afford rent can afford the mortgage.

That’s not to mention the reason housing prices are so absurd is because landlords are buying up all the available supply in order to profit it off of it existing. Without landlords housing becomes much more affordable.

What about people who want the freedom to move from place to place without being tied down, too bad, they have to own a place?

We are having a housing crisis right now. So how about we worry about the large group of people who want to own shelter and can’t, and then we can worry about the much smaller group of people who have the means to move constantly but find hiring a realtor just too much effort.

“a deal with Ghislaine Maxwell that she would get some immunity now and maybe a hidden pardon in the future: some sort of implication that she would be pardoned in the future if she comes out and says that the president was… not involved in any criminal activity.”

There will be no need for a pardon in the future, as soon as she gives a list without Trump or his allies on it she’ll be found suicided the next day. Can’t risk her growing a conscience and telling a different story later.

So you don’t have any empathy?

Bill Gates could say that he “spread riches among the poor”

Not if he gave $1 million to one person, then took it away and gave it to someone else.

So addressing this problem can also help address another problem?

It doesn’t matter what your cause of choice is, someone is always going to say something else is more important. However, saying human trafficking doesn’t matter at all? That’s a pretty dickish statement.

I agree, it would be nice if Republicans cared about more of these things, but human trafficking is also a major issue.

A pedophile ring for the 1% in which everyone knows they’re doing it and no one does anything to stop it doesn’t matter?

Well considering your very first comment was asking “when” this was going to happen:

Picture this: your house is on fire NOW, your son/daughter/dog/cat is trapped inside… nobody comes to help and then you hear the Mayor saying they will increase the Fire Fighter’s budget

And you respond by saying “When will you increase the budget?” Instead of saying what you actually need, then get upset when people respond to the question you actually asked instead of the statement you had in your head.

And again, the mayor announcing an increase in the fire fighter’s budget does not slow down help for your home.

What other action does this delay?

“it’s against my religion to eat fish.”

“Okay, then don’t eat fish.”

“It’s against my religion for you to eat fish”

“Fuck off.”

I said spread, not share. One would not consider peanut butter spread on bread if you put it in one glob and then picked up and moved the glob somewhere else.

If the show hasn’t been relevant for 20 years then why is the Whitehouse bothering to comment on it? Is the Whitehouse going to release a statement about Andromeda?

Could you spread all the empathy across everyone evenly, and then increase it by about 10%?

So what useful action can I take to push back against this censorship?

So what do I, a common shlub, do to resist this? Boycott Steam and itch.io until they reinstate the games?
