It’s as though there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism and maybe instead of wanting to flay people who are forced to participate in it for survival, like having to get a car to get a job to eat, we should flay the people who made the system and perpetuate it.
Im pretty good at wanting stuff; i think i can manage two at a time; both the progeneitors and the fanatically complicit who so often refuse to imagine better and attack me for trying.
Typical Internet pedant, who’s also missing the larger point, which is that you said you want people to be vivisected for buying a car. The subtext is that you’re cool with torturing people who make choices you don’t like, so I figured you’d be cool with flaying people.
Also vivisection can involve some flaying.
Either way, the point is that some people are put into situations where they need to buy a car to survive, and you want to harm them, viscerally, over that. That’s a pretty fucked up position to have, and you can’t nitpick your way out of it.
If you buy a car you should be vivisected?
As-written you should, but i think my feelings lean towards both.
Damn, wish I wasn’t in a place where if you don’t have a car you’re fucked.
But if you do buy a car, you’re fucking others! It’s great.

But also, who said anything about flaying?
Flaying, vivisected, whatever. You want to torture people to death for buying a car.
Vivisected implies they remain alive, asshole!
And also different from flaying!
I remember when language sometimes had nuance and wasnt entirely just vibes. I miss that.
