More thoughts on commonalities in our rhetoric. (hexbear.net)

Simple talking point to slaughter the piggies who regurgitate rhetoric from the likes of Daily Wire, Trump himself, and any of these other elite, ultra wealthy fucks... Talk about food.

Food is one of the pillars of human culture, and we all have something in common with each other that the ruling class doesn't comprehend, and that is cooking for ourselves.

Just ask when they think the last time these demons actually cooked for themselves vs the last time the person you are talking to cooked. You think they ever handle raw meat? Ever spread something on bread that they bought themselves and sliced in their own kitchen? Eat meals that weren't prepared served to them by someone they don't even have to remember the name of? No.

These pathetic worms are so helpless, so unskilled and and disconnected, it's pathetic. Working class people know how to feed themselves, not suckle from the teat.

This is a good post, also it makes me think of how often food becomes some sort of cultural talking point too. Conservatives talk about being shamed for eating burgers, the youth is poor because of avocado toast.

I think one of the biggest things to encourage better treatment for immigrants in the US is just a reminder that the US agricultural system would collapse if we suddenly deported all undocumented immigrants. Even the most rabid conservative has to admit he would pay more for food if he kicked out the people who bring it to him.

I'd love to see some suburban white truck chud spend half a day picking asparagus without his spine breaking in half.

God help us all if the stinky pee grass wasn't available year round though.

Pulling on this string of thought...

This lines up with my thinking about rich people building bunkers or going to space. Those very things imply a temporary to permanent separation from stuff like police that enforces their whole world. Its like they can't fathom the logistical and labor-intensive processes that it takes for such things. They expect to sit on a throne and... what, exactly?

It's a throne of poop. Not the porcelain throne, it's made of shit... They want to sit on a pile of shit.

Seeing as how many of them brag about not having done anything productive in a kitchen in years, if ever, yeah this tracks

Opportunity to dunk on them - don't ever show respect an able bodied person who can't feed themselves.

this is a kind of weird exclusion of able-bodied disabled people . i agree with your post altogether though

You're right, it should be "anyone able" who doesn't. I tend to think holistically with little distinction between the brain and body and it sometimes pops up like this in my language. At the end of the day, from each according to their ability.
