This sounds like sort of monkey’s paw shit.

“I wish we’d tax the rich.”

“Granted. And the money will be used for weapons, not education, healthcare, infrastructure, and all that stuff you were thinking but didn’t specify.”

I was going to say the same. But I think there’s a big difference between a band (art) and like the startup tshirts I’ve accumulated as “free swag” over the years (not art).

A band is cool and human expression. Some website that sells ads in emails is capitalist nonsense.

Most people don’t care about things. This is kind of a recurring problem. Imagine if people just cared a little bit more. All sorts of problems, like littering, would just go away.

But people are lazy and don’t care. They don’t care that their behavior today will be a problem for them tomorrow.

The big sites are where the content is, and that’s what they want. Suffering a little bit of hardship (fewer memes) in order to bolster a stronger future? Ridiculous.

Oh this is a thing that happens, and she might not even be doing it on purpose.

I was reading a book about how people change their minds, and it mentioned some study of long term belief. Many people who changed their mind about big things like abortion seemingly legitimately could not remember ever having the opposite opinion.

I think it’s because the ego is fragile, and people don’t like admitting fault.
