Corporate Bullshit

I'm coming to BURNING MAN! On TUESDAY (Aug 27) at 1PM, I'm giving a talk called "DISENSHITTIFY OR DIE!" at PALENQUE NORTE (7&E). On WEDNESDAY (Aug 28) at NOON, I'm doing a "Talking Caterpillar" Q&A at LIMINAL LABS (830&C).

Corporate Bullshit: Exposing the Lies and Half-Truths That Protect Profit, Power, and Wealth in America is Nick Hanauer, Joan Walsh and Donald Cohen's 2023 book on the history of corporate apologetics; it's great:

https://thenewpress.com/books/corporate-bullsht

I found out about this book last fall when David Dayen reviewed it for the The American Prospect; Dayen did a great job of breaking down its thesis, and I picked it up for my newsletter, which prompted Hanauer to send me a copy, which I finally got around to reading yesterday (I have gigantic backlog of reading):

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/27/six-sells/#youre-holding-it-wrong

The authors' thesis is that the business world has a well-worn playbook that they roll out whenever anything that might cause industry to behave even slightly less destructively is proposed. What's more, we keep falling for it. Every time we try to have nice things, our bosses – and their well-paid Renfields – dust off their talking points from the last go-round, do a little madlibs-style search and replace, and bust it out again.

It's a four-stage plan:

I. First, insist that there is no problem.

Enslaved people are actually happy. Smoking doesn't cause cancer. Higher CO2 levels are imaginary and they're caused by sunspots and they're good for crop yields. The hole in the ozone layer is only a problem if you foolishly decide to hang around outside (this is real!).

II. OK, there's a problem, but it's your fault.

An epidemic of on-the-job maimings is actually an epidemic of sloppy workers. A gigantic housing crash is really a gigantic cohort of greedy, feckless borrowers. Rampant price gouging is actually a problem of too much "spending power" (that is, "money") in the hands of working people.

III. Any attempt to fix this will make it worse.

Equal wages for equal work will cause bosses to fire women and people of color. Protecting people with disabilities will cause bosses to fire disable people. Minimum wages will cause bosses to buy machines and fire "unskilled" workers. Gun control will only increase underground gun sales. Banning carcinogenic pesticides will end agriculture as we know and we'll all starve to death.

IV. This is socialism.

Income tax is socialism. Estate tax is socialism. Medicare and Medicaid are socialism. Food stamps are socialism. Child labor laws are socialism. Public education is socialism. The National Labor Relations Act is socialism. Unions are socialism. Social security is socialism. The Fair Labor Standards Act is socialism. Obamacare is socialism. The Civil Rights Act is socialism. The Occupational Health and Safety Act is socialism. The Family Medical Leave Act is socialism. FDR is a socialist. JFK is a socialist. Lyndon Johnson is a socialist. Carter is a socialist. Clinton is a socialist. Obama is a socialist. Biden is a socialist (Biden: "I beat the socialist. That's how I got the nomination").

Though this playbook has been in existence since the nation's founding, the authors point out that from the New Deal until the Reagan era, it didn't get much traction. But starting in the Reagan years, the well-funded network of billionaire-backed think-tanks, endowed economics chairs, and latter-day propaganda vehicles like Prageru breathed new life into these tactics.

We can see this playing out right now as the corporate world scrambles for a response to the Harris campaign's proposal to address price-gouging. Reading Matt Stoller's dissection of this response, we can see the whole playbook on display:

https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/monopoly-round-up-price-gouging-vs

First, corporate apologists insisted that greedflation didn't exist, despite the fact that CEOs kept getting on earnings calls and boasting to their investors about how they were using the excuse of inflation to jack up prices:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/11/price-over-volume/#pepsi-pricing-power

Or the oil CEOs who boasted that the Russian invasion of Ukraine gave them cover to just screw us at the pump:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/15/sanctions-financing/#soak-the-rich

There are all these out-in-the-open commercial entities whose sole purpose is to "advise" large corporations about their prices, which is just a barely disguised euphemism for price-fixing, from meat-packing:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/04/dont-let-your-meat-loaf/#meaty-beaty-big-and-bouncy

To rents:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/07/24/gouging-the-all-seeing-eye/#i-spy

That's stage one: "there's no problem." Stage two is "it's your fault." That's Larry Summers and co insisting that a couple of stimulus checks a couple years ago are responsible for inflation, because it gave you too much "buying power," and so the only possible fix is to jack up interest rates and trigger mass layoffs and sharp wage decreases across the economy:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/14/medieval-bloodletters/#its-the-stupid-economy

Stage three is "any attempt to fix this will make it worse." When Isabella Weber pointed out that there was a long history of price-controls being used to fight price-gouging, corporate apologists lost their minds and brigaded her, calling her all kinds of nasty names and insisting that her prescription didn't even warrant serious discussion, because any attempt to control prices would destroy the economy:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/lately/article-the-millennial-economist-who-took-on-the-world/

You may recognize this as cousin to the response to rent control proposals, which inevitably trigger a barrage of economists screaming that this will not work and will actually reduce the housing supply and drive up prices, which is true, provided that you ignore all evidence and history:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/16/mortgages-are-rent-control/#housing-is-a-human-right-not-an-asset

And stage four is "this is socialism." Look, I am a literal card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America and I can assure you, Kamala Harris is not a socialist (and more's the pity). But that didn't stop the most eminently guillotineable members of the investor class from hair-on-fire, ALL-CAPS denunciations of the Harris proposal as SOCIALISM and Harris herself as a COMMUNIST:

https://twitter.com/Jason/status/1824580470052725055

The author's thesis is that by naming the playbook and giving examples of it – for example, showing how the "proof" that minimum wage increases will destroy jobs was also offered as "proof" not to abolish slavery, ban child labor, add fireproofing to textile factories, and pay women and Black people the same as white guys – we can vaccinate ourselves against it.

Certainly, we've reached a moment where the public is increasingly skeptical of claims that we can't fix anything because the economists say that this is the best of all possible worlds, and if that means that we're all going to boil to death in our own skin, so be it:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/27/economism/#what-would-i-do-if-i-were-a-horse

In other words, after 40 years of subordinating politics to economics, there's a resurgence of belief in politics – that is, doing stuff – rather than hunkering down and waiting for the technocrats to fix everything:

https://www.programmablemutter.com/p/seeing-like-a-matt

Corporate Bullshit is a brisk and bracing read – I got through it in about an hour in my hammock yesterday – and, in laying out the bullshit playbook's long history of nonsensical predictions and pronouncements, it does make a very good case that we should stop listening to people who quote from it.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

tbh I just rlly wanna see how he didn't die? like it's KAMINO. Either your being rained on constantly (which isn't the worst thing in the world, but I don't think it's very pleasant) OR if the sun does shine there is literally NO SHADE on that landing platform, like ur just gonna roast in the sun (like the crispy toothpick he is). ALSO ALSO, do we know what kinda water is on Kamino? is it drinkable? is it salt water? WHERE DID HE GET DRINKABLE WATER FOR 36 DAYS? ALSO ALSOALSO FOOD? My mans was already on the thinner side, he needed something to eat right? where? HOW???

Friendly reminder that due to time zone changes, 32 rotations on Kamino equates to 36 days on earth.

It was more than a month.

It was a month and five days.

Saying this separately so as not to distract from transfems talking about how a lot of ppl use the 'gender is fake' argument spuriously to silence their complaints about transmisogyny....

but like, this is one of many reasons I'm just over most western dialogue on gender: y'all address gender from WITHIN a colonized yt heteropatriarchal framework; even your 'rejection' of it is firmly ensconced in this mental framework and it just ends up chasing its tail

What I mean by this is 'gender is bullshit' is nearly irrelevant as an actionable framework esp to people whose concept of gender doesn't go past 'before colonization'.

What lttle y'all understand of precolonial gender is more of a strawman reference to support your positions iirt the *creation* of yt supremacist gender some 400~ yrs ago.

What y'all overlook is that gender existed before the gender bullsht you know now, before the concept you're trying to escape.

The understanding that gender is conceptual doesn't mean gender isn't real. Gender IS real. It's something. It's not particularly woke to confuse something being mutable and immaterial with it not existing at all. As an adult, you should understand that sometimes real things are not solid, fixed, tangible.

Precolonial genders are many, they are fluid, they are often unique to their source cultures, and they are almost always tied to social roles. Gender in my ancestral cultures was baked in to philosophy, cosmology, ritual, and society.

Those genders are real. Just as real as someone's name, culture, beliefs etc. They existed before colonizers created their specific view of gender. They still exist. They will exist in the future.

Going around saying 'gender isn't real' is honestly embarrassing and primitive atp. Colonizer gender isn't the entire world of gender. It may have seemed that way *to you*. Grow up & stop being so uncultured. It's making you small minded and mean.

Drinking Buddies with Husk!

𐐒 includes : gender neutral reader 𐐒 cw : drinking/alcohol, fluffs, drunk rambling 𐐒 summary : mainly platonic but you could read as romantic too (in fact i'd love it if you did!) 𐐒 note : lil' self indulgent, love me sum whiskey myself... & with husk is just <3

Husk considers 'drinking buddy' and 'friends' two completely different fields, and even then, being his drinking buddy is (what I consider) a special privilege. . . not bestowed to many

he likes to unwind once and a while as much as the next sinner. . . but who really likes to wallow in self-pity by themselves? having company is always fun

the best company (as Husk considers you)

lets be real, how many people would Husk enjoy drinking with?

but its because he can practically see right through you. . . with those narrow yellow eyes of his, you almost feels transparent

and you are with him

if Husk wants no bullsht (i mean especially if the two of you share some drinks) he'll get it

in return, you allow Husk to be himself and rant all his drunken thoughts he has pent up inside of him

"I can't. . . I can't BELIEVE they got me working the bar at the. . . the. . . uh. . . waittt. . . what did you say about Angel?"

you laugh at him, both of your faces flushed, held up haphazardly with your hands leaning against Husk's bar top. Heads wonderfully buzzed.

Husk (near sht-faced) actually starts to purr, doing those slow blinks that cats do

I imagine Husk allows you to take his hat and wear it at some point, either he doesn't care or he doesn't even notice until you two wake up hungover (still at the bar no less)

Drunk bar songs w/ Husk, wherein he has his arm around your shoulder!

At his bar, or in his company, Husk has a special glass just for you.

Husk cleans all the glasses when no one's at the bar, and he notices the way you like to hold your drink and play with it in your hands. So when you take to a particular one (the perfect size for you hands) Husk puts it aside for when you come around!

no matter what you prefer to drink, Husk still makes you new drinks to consider and try out if you'll take it

always watches out for you btw and keeps you head up (literally)

but Husk loves drinking with you, he doesn't have to worry too much about—much really, and he knows he can depend on you too if he ever needed it, bar-fight wise anyway

i think he'd actually feel a twinge of jealous once and a while if 'the wrong' person were to approach you, especially if he was looking forward to your company and you actually seem to prefer the presence of someone else over him

Husk is the perfect drinking buddy imo

he's equal parts mature, responsible, and I could 100% picture the old cat being a hilarious drunk if he was pushed far enough!

Husk doing drunk magic tricks and sleight-of-hand for more drinks, or to impress

Husk has a very high tolerance for booze, but doesn't like to mix his drink types often

[sunlit-mess]

i just wanted to say no matter what fandom you go to or what type of art you produce you are seriously my favorite artist of all time!!! i began following you back in the dsmp phase (bit embarrassing for me but its okay) and I know it doesn't mean much coming from a stranger but each piece of yours whether it be a full illustration or uncolored comic gives me dancing butterflies in my stomach and I can't help but zoom in on every detail. thank you so much for publicly posting your art, it is a gift to this world and you have magical hands

I honestly thought I lost face as 'artist' bc I just dropped off the radar at that time I couldn't handle the internet bullsht going on in the community LOL. Like- people wouldn't recognize me/my art anymore if I started drawing again- but reading this made me happier now that I'm back in drawing.

⚠️you HAVE to be able to use your better discernment + better judgement skills to fully absorb the message and be able to do the necessary work to keep you on track for the future you WANT for yourself⚠️

🧿im not a fortune teller,

i am an energy reader.🧿

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 1:

You're definitely going through some sort of gnarly OR fitting + VERY much needed rebirth; and depending on how the reader is choosing to look at this new beginning, its either a solid effort on accepting this reality and accepting you dont know everything OR you're wallowing and taking the stance of the victim. both are valid. but the 2nd perspective must change at some point......when you're ready.

This rebirth is happening inside and outside of yourself, and its causing disharmony, chaos, painful changes, and no BullSht; EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!! but also.....its creating new ideas, new inspiration, new LIFE!! figuratively OR literally(👀).

Its helping you adapt to lifes twists, turns, and all the windy messes in between. This isnt supposed to be a comforting message.....but its also not meant to scare you either. This message is about acceptance.

Accept and celebrate how far you've come but accept and acknowledge your mistakes and missteps, identifying how to move better or correctly for next time. Accept things as they are now but accept the emotional turmoil that may come along with that. Accept the missed opportunities but PLEASE also accept that there is better for you, out there, somewhere, I PROMISE!!

This specific rebirth is happening in your life, at this specific time because its trying to get you to SHED all the outgrown aspects of your life so you are more able to see the life that you deserve and go after your dreams/plans/goals in a more confident, conscious, considerate, aware, authentic, healthy, and ((all that good stuff)) , WAY!!!

It'll take some time, some tears, hardwork, determination, mental fortitude, faith, and trust....but YOU believe in YOU, and I believe in YOU!! so start living again, in ways that make sense to you. Feel right to you.

think of yourself as emerging from the womb again: make up your life however you want without fear, this will lead you down a path of self discovery and hearty lessons to help you grow and change, but stay steady in who you are no matter what!

powerful stuff pile 1, but to encounter new growth, better situations, and more understanding within yourselves; you need to prepare yourself to let go of rotted wood, garbage, or dead weight in your current foundations or perspectives.

abandon the old schemes and everything that no longer belongs to you and overcome the challenges of transformation and rebirth.

xtra signs or confirmations + advice:

•realizing // focusing on the repeating cycles,patterns,lessons, etc currently in your life.

•facing your shadows and calling judgement upon yourself + sitting in the uncomfortableness that comes along with life.

•not being afraid or affected by outside noise or other peoples perceptions of you anymore.

•take risks again! try and make yourself smile, widen your world view, stop and appreciate whats around you, something new is coming, expect the best and it will happen!

•pluto,mushrooms,scorpio energy,rebirth,healing,TRANSFORMATION,finding your voice, change your old ways.

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 2:

HEAVY @ s$ energy. and im sorry for any betrayal felt on your part from this ending im CLEARLY picking up on. I hope you know how possible it is to move on, let go, release whatever or whoever, and just BREATHE AGAIN. I feel sick to my stomach but relieved, hurt but okay, numb but faintly hopeful for my future.....its very faint, but the emotion is there.

You've been through it and im sorry pile 2, i hope you know the more you keep pushing and getting over this percieved setback and/or tough loss that has occurred, the stronger you'll be because of it. You're going to learn such a valuabe lesson from this or you might of already learned that lesson, but either way you deserve better.....and frankly, MORE!

SO DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK // GIVE YOURSELF WHAT YOU WANT AND KNOW YOU DESERVE!! NO ONE SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A BURDEN OR LIKE YOU ARENT GOOD ENOUGH TO GO AFTER WHAT YOU WANT// NEED FOR YOURSELF!! AND IF THEY DO, THEN CUT THEM OFFFFFFFF!!!

The big message here is to let that which must fall away, ACTUALLY FALL AWAY, and find balance between your desires and the people around you.

dont get so caught up in the what ifs, just do what feels right and speaks to your heart + listen and make decisions that your higher self would be proud of, prove your worth to yourself, NOT some else.

pile2, this is a tough message but straight-forward too. Let go, move on, heal, grow, learn,change + this process looks and feels different to everyone so whatever works 4u, lean into that!!

xtra signs or confirmations + advice:

•review your life by asking YOURSELF questions that might trigger a heartfelt response from you!!

•reclaim your power, meditate, learn about yourself, reparent yourself, help yourself and save yourself, no ones coming to help OR save you.

• "people come to see us for a reason, or sometimes just a season", focus on yourself for awhile.

• dont underrate yourself, build your confidence up, air sign sun, capricorn energy, Jupiter influence in chart, looking into the age of aquarius recently, air sign energy, astrologer or HIGHLY interested in astrology.

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 3:

pile 3, you might hate hearing this but YOU GUYS ARE STRONG, RESILIENT, DETERMINED, STUBBORN, AND A HUGE ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF AND THATS HONESTLY SO INSPIRING AND ADMIRABLE!!!

which is why I must also say; you have to start taking responsibility for your own life and your own choices!! You're doing just fine standing in your power, but sometimes impulsiveness gets the better of you. And theres nothing wrong with that!!! But be careful, and ask for help when needed! Everything in moderation is always good. and that is very sound, safe, + solid advice.

life can feel like a confusing but interconnected web at times, but eventually you'll meet other people with similar expirences + ideas so even if it feels empty or lonely or confusing now, you're on the right path to find that support and stability you crave + the assistance and advice or guidance needed to help keep you straight! do not fear or worry, you're doing just fine.

ultimately the message is: when you finally realize, accept, and integrate the belief or truth that you are the engineer of your own life, you'll start to see better results and start moving your @ s$ to make better choices for your future + yourself. dont be inactive too long or you might risk losing a few good opportunities, that doesnt mean leap before you're ready, but that DOES mean doing the work NOW so you catch the good, stable, solid opportunities when they come sooner!

only you have the answers to what it is you truly want so start being honest with yourself and LAYING THE PROPER FOUNDATIONS FOR YOUR FUTURE!!!!

xtra signs or confirmations + advice:

•libra energy, venus placements, balancing of situations, the unseen is working behind the scenes, protect your ideas + your desires, be hopeful but stay realistic, logic vs emotion, listen to your heart, ignore your fears

•pray if you trust in something bigger than you!

•your gaining a sense of YOUR reality and its giving you a sense of responsibility so act on this accordingly and take this as an opportunity to learn + grow

___________________________________________

OKAY PILE 4:

daammn your message came out quick and fast : there's highs AND lows in life, dont get caught up in either extreme. This reality of life is a fact, nothing you can change, so you must change your response to this reality of life.

There's sunshine+rainbows and There's darkness+shadows. There's beautiful duality everywhere. There's clear vision and There's confused outlook. What perspective do you see right now? Either is okay and Either is tremendously valid.

Believing in yourself and your dreams is hard when nobody is paying attention to your efforts or maybe commending you for your little and big wins through the process. BUT when the results do come....when the fruit is finally ready to be picked.....it feels that much more rewarding when you can look back and say " I did it. "

Stay committed towards your dreams and move forward with confidence, IN SPITE of the negativity and other things being thrown your way. Stay hopeful and optimistic. Even if its hard! Stay grateful too!! Find the light at the end of tunnel to make things easier for yourself!

You have the ability to see what others tend to miss so use this to sniff out people who are NOT on your side or maybe using you in some way!! Dont let yourself lose integrity over something stupid, walk-away when you must, to avoid any conflicts later!

xtra signs or confirmations + advice:

•4, stability, 444, strong foundations being built, cancer, leo, sun or moon placements, nurturing your mind, body, spirit.

•go steady and at a comfortable pace, ignore outside negativity, take in constructive advice, learn to control your reactions.

•you are a human with needs, wants, desires....dont be afraid to go after them!___________________________________________

I sincerely hope you received what you needed and released what you don't !! See you again soon!! Take it easyyy and just breathe and fllooowwww!!! you got this! byyeee~🧚🏽‍♀️✨️

**please let me know how I'm doing in any way you can! that is the easiest way to support me and also a good way to signal to me that I should keep going + any helpful advice from the community would be welcomed and appreciated 🥺 🥹 🙏🏼

Luke its the perfect chaos agent for Jiara angst on Season 4.

Luke coming back after hearing JJ has money. Pretending to be a good father to take advantage of him. JJ wanting to believe his dad can be good because he wants that parental figure so bad and Kiara probably seeing right through his bullsht and that causing tension with JJ. Then, let’s insert the barracuda Mike issue with JJ owing him money and Luke claiming he is just like him and if he really thinks Kiara will be with him forever so making him build those walls again and therefore pushing Kie away and pinning a little because he loves her so much (and she knows why he is pushing her away). Luke ending up showing his true colors as always and we see him truly falling until he is back up again and seeks Kiara out because he really needs to hit rock bottom to truly overcome this trauma for himself.

Listen, I love fluff but I am angsty person at heart because the reunion kiss is always iconic

you and I are the same, nonnie. I don't want All Angst All The Time because at some point that's just like... exhausting, but the DEPTH that we get when there's angst just... perfection. These are all SUPERB ideas, and I really hope Luke comes back, too!! Idk if JJ would necessarily fall in league with him again, at least not voluntarily/happy about it, but I could def see Luke as an antagonist in jiara's relationship, and a centerpoint for JJ's development into someone that is like... capable of being in a healthy relationship.

Cause like, listen. I love my babyboy, don't get me wrong, but also at current he is... not someone that would know how to do that.

OMG dude. I'm born and raised in LA and (respectfully) these greasy-haired spiritual rock mineral healing bracelet people annoy the fck out of the other half of LA. There's 4 million of us squeezed in here together, so its not "dark energy", just complicated and congested in every way possible. "Were you working on your shadow side today?" DUDE. Every fcken day these well-off unbathed people talk like this to other people, dude. NO. I was taking a nap during lunch. A nap. I was not meditating or trying to discover hidden childhood trauma and figured it would be a good day to release it after lunch. They're like the new scientology people that try to recruit you while you're pumping gas and just trying to get home after a long ass day of aries moon rising sun in mercury bullsht explanations to justify for every fuckng thing wrong in the world. Sorry for venting. I blame my moon in venus conjucting with neptune in aries season.

and then she keeps talkin like oooh yes, [redacted] immigrant girls are so much popular to marry nowadays because they loving and soft!.... as opposed to local women who hit feminism a lil too hard and are now too jaded

I dont like that it only took merlin to reveal his magic for arthur to apologize for his mistreatment and abuse. “Oh u could have killed me the whole time im so sowwwy i didnt give u the respect u deserved.” Jfc That is not cute nor wholesome. Merlin had been his chief advisor for a long time and yet he never stop treating him like a dog at his beck and call. He never really stopped dismissing and shitting on Merlin’s worries. He resorts to emotional abuse when Merlin refuses him. “Hurting his loved ones and pulling their pigtails is how he shows he cares,” many people say. What bullsht of mental gymnastics. He only asks merlin “what should we do” to make merlin sympathise with him. Merlin always has to put himself in Arthur’s shoes and never the other way around. “It makes sense cause arthur has never had the life of a servant” and yet Arthur treats Guinevere with a lot of care and respect. Merlin barely has that even when Merlin. as a person, had been honest to Arthur the whole time. He kept giving his heart out, laying it on Arthur’s hands. Sure Arthur sometimes acknowledges it but most of the time he just thinks its amusing. The magic reveal didn't even need to happen for Arthur to finally treat Merlin as a full person but yeah he still went there.

It’s an insult. Im glad he’s dead.

[exterminate-flatscan-terrorists]

As a misanthropic XMen fan, my belief in the IRREDEEMABLE TRASHINESS OF HUMANITY has once again been VALIDATED when Humans in real life and fiction have once again proved that they do not deserve to be saved. If you're NOT a moron who instantly jump into JUSTIFYING Child Murder, stop reading, keep scrolling this isnt for you. If this offends your FLATSCAN Muggle pride, I dont fvcking care.

anyway... soooo, The Last of Us' controversial choice of Joel... ungh

Dr Jerry Anderson and the Fireflies were just WRONG.

bunch psudoscience feel good id!ots the lot of them.

The only people who are debating this are the scientifically illiterate.

ya know, the idiots who takes the opinions of ONE Firefly "DOCTOR" seriously.

There is NO DEBATE to be had here because the Fireflies are pseudoscience idiots who dont know WTF they where doing.

Their ONE "DOCTOR" came up with a BuIISht theory and IMMIDIATELY DECIDED TO KILL A CHILD as a solution.

It takes TEAMS of actual SCIENTISTS , then YEARS of research, experiments, testings, discoveries, and development to come up with vaccines and cures,

but for some reason, the Fireflies' ONE "DOCTOR" has figured everything out in under a few hours. And everyone in this merry band of idiots believed him.

Whats next? Hes gonna mix Ellies brain with GOOP and spread the cure via 5G????

This is elementary level basic knowledge of the scientific process, you fvcking dissapointing morons. But no, I feel like we're dealing with idiot lunatics whos done nothing but loose, theyre so DESPERATE for a WIN at something , theyed delude themselves into believing anything.

and then, there are the idiots bitching about "ooooh, they should have waked her up so she could give consent!"

Jezus shting chr;st.

I am so fvcking baffled at the excuses you FLATSCAN Muggle trash come up with to excuse your bullsht.

As stated at the beginning regarding the fact that the Fireflies and their ONE "DOCTOR" are more WRONG about this "cure" than the Flatearthers with phds ... god fvcking damnit, i cant think of words of how stupid you Muggles are.

I DONT CARE IF SHE CONSENTS. She would have died for NOTHING, because the ONE "DOCTOR" is WRONG!!!

And also, when a child says she wants to DIE for anything , dont fvcking let her, you selfish fv¢king psycho!!

This shouldnt even be discussed!

What the heII is wrong with you people!?

Getting infected can be AVOIDED , just dont be fv¢king stup¡d, stup¡d.

Youre gonna k¡ll a CHILD because you cant be asked to NOT be a dvmba$$ .

In the Last of Us Universe, Average NOT STUPlD PEOPLE dont get infected. You can avoid it. Youre gonna sacrifice a child because youre a dvmba$$ who wanna French kiss a child clicker?

THIS IS NOT THE TROLLEY PROBLEM!!! Humans have been surviving for DECADES! In their walled off communities, QZs, Jackson, WLF, The Seraphites, There are communities in the frigid Canada, etc. The entirety of The Last of Us Part II has almost NOTHING to do with the fungus! BECAUSE through years of experience, HUMANS FIGURED OUT HOW TO AVOID GETTING INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

If you live in the Last of Us world and you dont wanna get infected, be cautious, be careful , DONT BE FVCKING STUPID.

Humanity is NOT tied on train tracks. HUMANITY CAN AVOID THE TRAIN!!!

Also, remember Marlenes lines?

"How long till she's torn apart by Infected or murdered by raiders?"

ah yes, thank you for pointing out the actual USUAL ways people get killed.

Is there a vaccine for "getting ripped apart" , a vaccine for "bullets, stabbings, GOLF CLUBS"??? A vaccine for general Human bullshittery??

The Fungus Problem at this point in the story is just another nuisance, just another threat, the fungus threat that Humanity has been learning to avoid for DECADES.

As a Misanthrope, I see these "debates" regarding "The Ethics of Killing a Teenager" as yet another proof that Humans are just the WORST. Its so ARROGANT of you to think youre worth killing a child for... For what, a "cure" against a disease YOU CAN AVOID easily by NOT being dumbass?? Its like you delusionally believe that drinkinng a childs blood will prevent Cov¡d, so because you dont want to wear a fvcking mask or wash your filthy hands, nah, youd kill a child instead.

Joel is Not the one whos selfish here. YOU ARE. You filthy FLATSCAN Muggle trash have the audacity to even consider killing a teenager for the pseudoscientific FANTASY "possibility" of a "cure", against some disease you can AVOID getting infected by in the first place. wat. is it getting repetitive. is it even sticking in your mind or are you just too busy doing Olympic Mental Gymnastics coming up with Bullsht reasons as to why its justified to kill Ellie.

Me if I'm in that Last of Us world, I would absolutely love to unalive MONSTERS that sacrifice children. Spray your Misanthrope repellant, Dunning Kruger, delude your self, thats what your good at, dont worry, "there won't be any pain"

I feel my Misanthropic beliefs are vindicated or validated when I see Human ANIMALS just loose their fvcking reasoning skills, and jump right into Child Sacrifice that will result into NOTHING, just because youre selfish scared cowards idiots. Its the same fvcking mentality that drove you into burning "witches", or the actual Child Sacrifice because your god told you, or kill albinos because you think their bones have magical properties, or then massacreing minorities, putting innocent black teens in nooses because some white girl felt threatened, putting people in concentration camps then in ovens, etc. This mentality never left. Youd kill a child if it means you wouldnt be afraid for a bit, youd justify it in your mind, until you are reminded that the real MONSTERS are PEOPLE, like you.

The FACT that the MAJORITY of you moronic FLATSCAN Muggle fv¢kers dont even fv¢king bother to stop and THINK before saying shit like "Kill child for TINY POSSIBILITY of cure" just proves that Humanity deserves extinction. You fv¢kers dont even stop to think sh¡t through. No thoughts, no hesitation. Just Fvck you.

FYI, I didnt make this post to change your mind, becuz thats IMPOSSIBLE, youre the type of m0ron whod fall for SCAMS and pseudoscientific Quack garbage claims made by anyone who claims to be a "doctor" just because he proposes GARBAGE Silver Bullet theories (sad that you didnt die after the QUACKS told you to actually drink Silver to fight cov¡d, they should have said mercury, it would have culled a lot of you ¡diots), youre not giving a fv¢k about the opinions of other actual experts but you'd listen to m0rons who think 5G causes cov¡d, people like you cant ever be convinced of actual science. I dont care if you drink bleach because you believed Trump, d¡e for all I care, but the problem irises when you even THINK that killing a child is the Silver Bullet against a disease that you can avoid because YOU cant prevent yourself for being a dµmba$$. That type of subhuman thinking should put you on some type of list.

I hate being reminded that I'm trapped in this planet with semisentient creatures that "think" like you. Stup¡d GOOP loving ARROGANT cov¡diot fv¢ks who'd kill children because YOU think ¡diot fv¢ks like YOU are worth sacrificing anything for. I wish I have enough poisoned GOOP for all of you. I would gladly give my life to watch you all swallow it!
