      It’s amazing that you posted this after having a fairly good explanation as to why it’s not a good idea to conflate too many things together.

      If you string too many things to a cause you dilute all of them. Especially because MasterCard and Visa have nothing to do with what’s happening in Palestine so linking the two causes together just weakens both of them.

        but Maeve said to call the senators about these, not mastercard. and you don’t need to call them about all of these topics at once either.

      .world is full of children who dont understand time yet. They think everything is final, and you just need to judge a thing once. They compile lists of who is out and who is in, and make memes appropriately. They kick out anyone who doesnt fit their group.

      If someone can point out the difference between middle school and .world, I’d love to hear it because I can’t think of one.

        I think the people using the biggest whataboutism argument I’ve ever seen are the ones acting like middle schoolers, but that’s just me.

        Feel free to make a new post listing senators’ contact information, walking people through calling their senators about those issues, and giving them a rough script or an idea of what to say. That would be a hell of a lot more productive than all the whining and complaining y’all are doing in this post.

          They won’t, since they only want to nag and feel superior for caring “real issues”.

          All consumer rights aren’t real issues but we still have them, SKG just wants the law to act on the companies clearly breaking it.

            Those tactics are literally working this very minute. What tactics would you rather see?

            Wait! Don’t reply here, go make a post about it! I promise that will be more effective than continuing what you’re doing here.
