Sometimes, you have to wonder if some of the psycho libs we hear about actually exist. They sound like complete caricatures.
“Everything should be FREEEEEEEEEEEEE.”
“LOVE IS LOVE except if you like Trump then I HATE YOU DIE NOW DIE.”
“Chicken rights are women’s rights!” (PETA actually said that once.)
“Hi, I’m a pansexual.”
You catch my drift. Do these people really exist? Do we share their air?
Yes, they do and yes, we do.
Twitchy discovered what is– quite possibly– the most ridiculous thread on Twitter. It’s by some chick who describes herself as a “bisexual vegan communist” who wants to #FreePalestine and #AbolishICE.
She wants the world to know that everything should be free. Literally everything. Feminine hygiene products, food, health care, housing, EVERYTHING. Why can’t everything just be free?
tampons & pads should be free for everyone. food should be free for everyone. clean water should be free for everyone. access to shelter should be free for everyone. healthcare should be free for everyone. BASIC NECESSITIES SHOULD NOT BE COMMODIFIED, and fuck you if you disagree.

The real problem? Capitalism produces too many nice things. If we had less accessibility to nice things, then we wouldn’t be jealous of others who have nice things or feel like we need nice things.
there are plenty of homes in the us that are unoccupied & there is plenty of food, clean water, clothing & sanitary items for everyone. capitalism literally overproduces these products but many of them are purposefully destroyed when they are not sold

Like, if you have two homes want to sell one of them, you should just give it away to a poor person, you greedy, selfish a-hole.
instead of giving them away for free to people who actually need them these basic necessities are fucking destroyed!! another example of how capitalists literally hate poor people & thrive off of their suffering

we could so easily pay for everyone to have their basic needs met but yet the majority of the us budget gets spent on bailing out billionaires and murdering people for the purpose of extracting oil and colonizing them under the guise of “spreading democracy”

You hear that? We could “so easily pay” for all that stuff. It’s SO EASY. Please ignore the fact that there wouldn’t be an incentive for anyone to work anymore and therefore a serious lack of government revenue. DETAILS. You know.
these demands are not utopian, they have been implemented in many socialist countries as much as possible under crushing economic sanctions or even direct warfare from imperialist nations, namely the ushttps://t.co/VWBmVH4kNn

Exactly! For example, Venezuela!
we need a socialist revolution now, for the planet, for the animals and most importantly for the survival of humanity.

Ask the the zoo animals in Venezuela how they’re enjoying their socialist revolution. (Zebra nuggets, anyone?)
Speaking of, Venezuela is only in shambles because the United States killed the country with greediness, or something.

Like I said. These people walk among us. They breathe our air. They VOTE.
God, help us.
