"What happened?" are you for real?

Did you not read any newspaper, watch any news, or generally exist in society since 2016?

First you decided to bazooka yourselves in the foot with the Brexit vote, then went through a revolving clown show of increasingly bizarre political sideshow pieces that pretended to be PM, before finally opting to negotiate an EU exist that was about as disastrous as it could've been for your economy.

Add in the fact that the entire world has been turning to shit around you due to despotic leaders trying to rape their neighbours/the climate/populace/actual kids/everything joined by a cabal of evil billionaires who are gleefully destroying democracy and the world economy so they can go out in one final last hurrah of capitalism, and you have the audacity to ask "What happened?"?.

I seriously can't with these "I don't do politics" idiots anymore.

I'd say a good 50% of people are not paying attention to current events/politics, then 40% who follow somewhat but don't really understand as they lack the critical thinking skills necessary to actually process the information and end up parroting the talking points of their preferred media, and then finally 10% who realize just how fucked everything is.

There's a lot of people who are only just now figuring out what the rest have been seeing happen for years, decades. Many of them are still in denial about how bad things have already gotten.

So it’s not just us, billionaires are bleeding everyone to death, globally.

As someone who stole from the supermarket all the time in college, I just wanna say that the need is starting to foment in recent times for me. The social contract is growing cracks now that I can’t see retirement and financial stability in my late 30s.

I consider it a public service to steal from businesses that destroy local economies, engage in union breaking and lobby against basic human rights.

you keep making bad decisions and your politicians exacerbate them

For Christ's sake boys, we're stealing fuckin meat

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I don't think people are stealing the steaks for their nutritional value, so that is still not the right framing.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 9 points 1 hour ago

I know I do but not everyone uses steaks as fleshlights.

It's never bread or carrots that get a security tag. Always the luxury products...
