Protip: Tell the doctor it’s wearing off too early so they increase your dosage. Only take the normal amount until you have a month backup stockpile, then renew your script at a lower rate. The doctor will understand if you’re only renewing every other month because you forget or don’t bother to take it some mornings.

Don’t condescend when you are failing basic, basic reading comprehension. Middle school children use and understand rhetorical irony.

Since I obviously am not expressing that participation in paying taxes and being exploited by capitalism are meaningful choices, hence why I spelled out how impractical the alternatives are; homelessness and/or uprooting your entire life and finding a foreign country that will accept you, I must mean the opposite, that you don’t have a realistic choice in the matter.

If you’re autistic and have difficulty with this type of thing, I can give more examples, this is such a common rhetorical device, I’m genuinely surprised you didn’t understand after rereading the post. I’m certain you’ve seen it before or had other people use it in conversation.

Eh, I kinda like the ephemeral nature of most tiktoks, having things go viral within a group of like 10,000 people, to the extent that if you’re tangentially connected to the group, you and everyone you know has seen it, but nobody outside that group ever sees and it vanishes into the ether like a month later makes it a little more personal.

OK, lets do a reading comprehension exercise. You have identified that it would be absurd to suggest that those two are meaningful choices, so can you think of a more sensible way to interpret what I’ve said if I’m not suggesting that?

You don’t get punished if you give up your citizenship and move to another country, and then stop paying taxes to America. You don’t get punished if you decide to be homeless instead of paying your landlord 2K/mo to exist.

But realistically, you don’t have a meaningful amount of choice when it comes to the bourgeoisie/government due to the difference in power.

You’re confusing the issue. My point is that we are no more complicit in the taxes we pay than the amount we pay Jeff Bezos for the privilege of working at amazon.

All 3 circles come from people buying stuff from amazon.

Most people can tell they’re creating a lot more wealth than they’re getting, and that it’s not going back into the company.

The green bit is the bit that goes into Jeff Bezos’s pocket, it’s not used to make cars and phones.

That’s generally a good thing, those kids don’t need their bullshit going viral outside of tiktok. Give it 3 months for Instagram to pick up 5% of it, and then FB can pick up 5% of that.
