I would tell people to fucking buy groceries and eat at home... That's what sane people do. Saves ton of money and limits number of parasites taking an cut from 12 to like 4-5.
Plastic are inevitable and it is systems issues but many products exist where plastic container can by avoided like bar of shampoo for example.
Advertising works hence why people blocks ads and pay for ad free shit. It is worth it too.
It is funny how people are this unwilling to review their consumption habits without having degree of a melt down over it. Sure we are getting fucked by corpos but it does not mean you have to make it easy for them. But the normie can't be bothered exercising simple economic behavior like product substitution and refusing to pay for certain luxuries.
You are in thread under this comment.
I am not following this anti agency rhetoric. If people don't help themselves, nobody is helping them. This includes being a discerning consumer.
I spend most of my time shilling against corpos, however, purchasers have agency and they have some economic power esp on luxury goods and services segments like food delivery.
You are having a melt down at the idea that I suggested that they should exercise some agency... Why?
I don't see how this is victim blaming but I got downvotes and only rebuttal so far "victim blaming" and "futile exercise" which itbmihjt be futile if only I do it. It wouldn't be me if enough people adjusted their consumption patterns.
You still using fringe case to make the point... How many of daily doordash orders are placed by disabled?
Being poor doesn't excuse stupid behavior jfc
Buying doordash is a stupid behavior with a few exceptions but especially if you are poor.
But sure consume the slop, who fucking cares. Fund your oppressor because you can't do substitutions or avoid bad deals.
Bro... My work on here speaks for itself.
This comment thread specifically is about people acting like idiots and feeding capitalist regime with their bad consumption patterns.
I never denied your position has merit... You are the one who can't appreciate the value of direct action and snow ball effect it can have
Lol wat
I still don't get it... Why would you not respect direct action that's like the only thing left for anyone do since political process has been captured.
Sure we can shit post about it all day but unless people start deny parasite profit nothing changes.
I guess there is option to reclaim the political process but there is even less enthusiasm from general public for than than there is avoiding using door dash.
