@Sphereserf3232 @Sphereserf3235 @Sphereserf3233 @Spheresf3233 asked me to post commie infighting and I remembered that this drama is pretty funny, and I think doesn't require any knowledge of theory or anything
the Twitter account @SxarletRed https://x.com/SxarletRed has been annoying a lot of people lately with her r-slurred views
see: this tweet
I wrote about moralism, socialism, and how we can move beyond the liberalism infecting the left.

basically she is saying that you shouldn't judge people for using doordash or whatever, which sounds fine on the surface, especially when you're talking about the wider population, but it's r-slurred if you call yourself a communist and defend getting your groceries delivered everyday
this has been kind of big topic in general that drives me crazy bc someone (r-slurred) will complain about how their grocery delivery was wrong, someone else will say um idk go to the store yourself?? and then people like SxarletRed here will jump out of the woodwork to defend them and say what about people with disabilities!!! what about the elderly!!!!! stop alienating people!!!!!! even tho it obviously doesnt apply to the fat lazy loser complaining about their doordash driver
Anyway. I guess she's been annoying people with these views for a while and has a hate fan club neow hence these posts

there was some pearl clutching that some commies were celebrating the fires in LA and got darn lmao these are the people calling you joyless
HECKIN BASED
beyond parody
obviously it's nice to travel and I do it to, but her response here is specifically directed at people suffering from over-tourism asking people not to vacation there. there are a lot of places around the world that are trying to increase tourism that you can go to instead and saying no ethical consumption under capitalism!! is such a lazy defense
I think it's one thing to be talking to normies and yeah don't yell at them for going to hawaii or whatever but idk mb self professed communists should hold themselves to a higher standard??? and there's some things you can't avoid like it's hard to buy all fair-trade and organic and it's a scam anyway etc but equating that with ordering delivery everyday and things you absolutely can avoid is r-slurred
lol I forgot about this pic.twitter.com/FVFgp8liUD

as you can see nobody is saying don't go on vacation or that you have to be perfect, just that if you're going to spend all day tweeting that you're commie then maybe try not to exploit the poor

You'd think people debating whether there's "No ethical consumption under capitalism" would at least be arguing over stuff like buying fast fashion from sweatshops or whatever, but instead they're getting mad over people for vacationing to places whose economies are entirely reliant on tourism and for paying then tipping people in first world countries to deliver food for them

their economies being reliant on tourism doesn't actually translate into any benefit for the locals though, especially when you follow the money
tourists stay at hotels or resorts owned by large often foreign corporations or airbnbs owned by someone who owns half the city. instead of locals having housing that's accessible to them, the market adjusts for tourists with much larger incomes and locals have to spend more to compete
tourists eat at their resort or in chain restaurants or places in the middle of the tourist area which again are usually not owned by some modest locals
or they come in on a cruise ship, deboard to flood the streets and take selfies and make a mess then leave, again pushing and pricing locals out of their own bars/clubs/beaches
the tourism sector in certain places is only for the benefit of billionaires and large capitalists and communists should be mindful of that when planning where to travel and how to spend their money

Most money towards any given product or service will go to big companies, so that's not really relevant for determining whether tourism specifically is good or bad. Places like Hawaii have basically nothing going for them except for their environment so it makes sense for them to make use of their massive comparative advantage. I agree that Airbnbs are bad for locals, but this is mostly just a side effect of zoning laws. I say, visit Hawaii, write to your local representative about repealing the Jones Act, and call it a wash

the point is there is no monetary benefit to locals to make up for all of the negative aspects for places suffering from over tourism, and a commie shouldn't even want to go somewhere that there is mass anti tourist sentiment

This is incredibly r-slurred. I've made money off tourists going to fricking Portland of all places. Sometimes I wonder if you're really in the proletariat or in an ivory tower.

I knew somebody in Tahiti who lived directly or indirectly off of money from tourism. Like everyone there. She was in college studying hotel management and wanted to go out and live in the tourism industry in exotic places in the rest of the world.
Can you commies stop telling people what they're theoretically supposed to want and just listen to them for 5 fricking seconds?
