      We’re the ones with no moral compass; when the democrats oversee slavery in the Department of Corrections(while cutting the police fatter and fatter checks), oversee familial separation and rape in the internment camps at the border(while cutting ICE fatter and fatter checks), and gleefully play merchant of death kicking obscenely-priced contract after obscenely-priced contract to the military-industrial complex. Is the F-35 even capable of flying an operational sortie yet? Or was that just a ten year waste of billions and billions of dollars?

      Okay, you fuckin hypocrite, okay. Sure. Posture all you like. None of it even fuckin matters anyway when your party will GLEEFULLY torch the earth sucking every last drop of oil out of it while SWEARING we’re gonna keep under 2C. Can’t wait for all your shit to burn.

      because libs like you are sooooo rich in morality, bombing global southern countries to no avail, supporting coups in countries that democratically elected socialists, never actually getting anything done to make peoples’ lives less of a hellhole, being racist against russians and chinese people, supporting literal fascists and even outright allying with fascists (spain).

      yeah, you guys have suuuuch a rich moral compass. thank you for demonstrating just how morally rich you people are. y’all should look into the mirror and feel fucking ashamed of yourselves.

      This is exactly why liberals don’t get shit done. You are too focused on optics rather than material reality.

      Fisk400 goes to Walmart. On the shelves, a product catches his eye “Wow, I can’t believe this AC unit is so cheap! Capitalism is great.”

      A Congolese child smiles. His job in a rare earth excavation site made that AC unit possible, and cheap.

      The child looks at the sky “I hope you’re happy, white master”, he says before he gets pushed back to work. It is 40C in the mine, he gets no AC. But at least wealthier people get to have it.

      Fisk400 buys the cheap AC. “Who cares about climate change anyway, it’s hot outside”. Then, he sees something else a few aisles down: cheap meat. “Wow, that’s a great deal!”. He grabs a few packs of beef.

      Somewhere in Argentina, a cattle rancher smiles. “I hope you’re happy, white master” says the man. He has never tasted beef; it’s too expensive for him. But he’s glad that someone else gets to enjoy it, at least.

      Fisk never even heard the child and man, drowned by his new shiny purchases and the feeling of accomplishment they give him.

      Upon leaving the store, Fisk400 pretends to not see the 75 year old greeter who is forced to stand there all day and say hi. “Oh god, I hope he doesn’t try to talk to me” he thinks as he darts to the exit, his products in hand. He can’t wait to try them out – it’s his god-given right to consume whatever is sold in stores with no further considerations.

      Then, cool and cozy, he logs onto Lemmy. “Tankies have no moral compass”, he says matter-of-factly.
