(((I was asked to post commie infighting so this is a test ) does no ethical consumption under capitalism mean you can just do whatever you want and still call yourself a commie? or should you at least try to hold yourself to some standards

Owning funkopops is massively gay

monk wants to avoid desire but that means he desires avoiding desire proving hedonism is the one true path

>even a billionaire can be jealous and resentful that someone else has more than she does

your worldview is motivated by jealousy

I hear this a lot. But I dont agree. I make more money than 90% of americans. I do not desire what the 1% has. The 1% only desires what they do because of the need for endless accumulation capitalism aquires. Marketing. Competitive spending.

I dont want a giant house. I do not want a lawn. I do not want idols or collectibles. I believe that made-to-order restaurants should be replaced with batch cooking cafeteria lines under communism, to maximize the potential time efficiency in food preperation.

But as someone forced to own a home with a lawn, in a community of transient people, unethical consumption simply becomes one of the few unproductive activities I can engage in. There is no public socialization, not st the scale, accessibility, or casual manner that humanity once enjoyed for 99% of our history. Instead my inteference with the world, work, is mediated by entirely by the constant consumption of gasoline.

The reality is that being productive as a communist isnt and should not be about optimizing your lifestyle like a personal brand for the most ethical unethical consumption possible, it should be about actually building communism.

Commies like the one in the OP are fully brain rotted by capitalism. They criticize others by comparing their purchased lifestyle's relative communist-esque virtue. They make unto themselves a personality of capital with a communist aesthetic. Rather than criticize the exploitation of a supply chain itself, they publicaly shame others for being the consumers of that capital, as if it were a useful activity. As if that criticism would end the supply chain itself. Would result in better wages, unionization, or a comunist nation. Which it wouldnt.

Which is to say theres never been a communist uprising born out of personal comsumer choice. Just like farming ethics have never come about by means of consumers simply not buying slow bled pork.

The idea that consumer choice can make political change is an ahistorical lie that just so happens to benefit capitalists that want to sell eco friendly funko pops.

Ironically, merely being aware of the difference between useful purchases and performatively consumptive purchases is a great way to accumulate capital. Most americans could retire 10 years earlier if they didnt constantly "upgrade" the square footage of their homes.

theyn't.

smart cars are fine vehicles. they are very funny. environmentally conscious? no.

they might get 40 mpgs but they take premium gas

and 40 is not really that good when much larger vehicles can do the same with more power

the smart fortwo has a 1500cc 3cyl motorcycle engine that makes like 80 horsepower

my actual motorccycle makes more power with the same size engine and weighs 1/4 the car

a modern sedan can get 40mpgs on 87 octane and like 3x the power and space

the only reason to get a smar car is because it's funny. you get plenty of attention

but whatever you do DO NOT BUY THE CONVERTIBLE ONES AM 3/3 ON THAT SHIT LEAKING AND RUINING ELECTRONICS and the SHTY LEATHER SEATS

they put the battery in a compartment below the passenger footwell THE LOWEST PLACE IN THE CAR

there is a small hole but GUESS WHAT?? the battery VENT TUBE GOES THROUGH AND PLUGS UP THAT HOLE!!!

so if ANY WATER GETS INTO THE CAR IT WILL MAKE ITS WAY TO THE BATTERY AREA and fill it up until it reaches the in line starter fuse

THE FUSE WILL CORRODE and you will and into the thing and click NO START

this is not to mention the proliferation of COMPUTERS in this vehicle that will get funky/ fail due to moister over time

JUST DRILL A SECOND HOLE MERCEDES DIAMLER BENZ YOU R-SLUR GERMOIDS (built in france)

uh yeah that's literally the point of my post r-slur

you know what? you get TWO essayposts.

because I just read that last part..

there's no way to ensure that nothing you do causes harm

so... give up? don't try?

this is like the whole ethos of commies and shitlibs. I'm seeing the pattern everywhere !nooticers

don't even try to prosecute crime because it's going to happen anyway, thus you're punishing people for no reason

don't even try to dissuade teens from fricking with a message of abstinence they're going to frick anyway might as well actively encourage degeneracy

don't bother trying to stop druggoids they're just going to shoot up anyway my as well give them free needles and crack pipes as "harm reduction"

wildfires are going to happen why bother preparing we won't stop them anyway

stabbings and mass vehicular homicide are a part of life chud no there's no need to take a look at who we're mass importing

Commies are so tiresome.

yes that's absolutely true I agree 100% lol the back of my shitty samsung kept falling off so I hot glued it back on and it works fine now, though there is a 3mm gap between the back and sides I plan to use it until it's beyond repair, my car is 13 year old basic reliable nipmobile etc

when she says my movement is soft on comrades that's absolute horseshit. be soft on your coworkers or whatever to get them on your side but what separates proles and lumpen is class consciousness and it's ridiculous to pretend not to know that

Like just got to Costco and meal prep. I bought a 13 pound pork butt for like $30 and am going to make the largest chili Verde known to man and freeze a bunch of it so I have some easy meals. That's the cost of like 1 shitty door dash meal that's cold when the illegal immigrants delivers it to you in a Kia with paper plates
