    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.

      But also, who said anything about flaying?

        if you buy one you should be vivisected with rusted sheet metal and left screaming somewhere public.

        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.

            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.

              Typical internet pedant

              No im a special kind. Youll see!

              subtext

              Pretty sure thats not subtext. Whats the opposit of subtext. Domtext? It’s dom text. But poojt taken, will reduce dubtlety; maybe time instead of posting on the internet ill emboss it on a brick of something that normally just says ‘drop and run’ and beat a few drivers in the skull with it.

              also vivisection can

              Sure, but it can also not, and lots of other things. Plus it’s educational. Plus flaying has some gendered classed and specifically transphobic baggage i don’t want to fuck with. Not interested in splash damage here.

              either way

              Okay. They’re also put into situations where they need to do other atrocities or eat people or kill strangers to survive. That’s pretyy fucked up too

              car users deserve an excuse

              Okay, youre right. Like how it’s not murder if you use a car. And how those fuckers aleays defend against any alternative existing.

                Man if you think flaying has some political baggage you really haven’t looked into vivisection’s history.

                So you’re pro murder but also against murder, weird. Have fun playing at being RaNdOm I guess

                  I’m against punching down. It’s not ‘RaNdOM’, it’s just going deeper than aesthetics. Which i suppose could look in congruous from a certain perspective.

                    Weird that you’re against punching down but also desperately want to torture people with vivisection when they are forced to buy a commodity in order to survive. Seems hypocritical.
