    Online leftists are so concerned with doing no wrong that they instead do no good. Yes, it is a bit exploitative to own modern chickens bred to produce ridiculous amounts of eggs at detriment to their body.

    It’s also exploitative for humans to exist beyond very early pre-civilization states as any use of natural resources and metals represents a theft from the Earth that will never be restored in that humans lifespan.

    But i can, and have, used those eggs to ease human suffering at a homeless shelter. I’ve used SPAM (yes, it’s horrific, I understand and agree. To say otherwise is missing the point) to the same effect.

    Yes, using animal products is anti-communist at its core principle.

    So is letting people starve in the street.

    That’s not to jump on a slippery slope where the ends justify the means. But to be so concerned with well intentioned folks that treat animals with care whenever possible, while leftists are out there every day having to hide their actions and act in secrecy just to help folks…. I dunno.

    Interestingly, a phenomena gaining rapid traction is the cognitive breakdown immigrants are having after realizing the comrades back in their home country are living better than they, who worked so hard in America, are.

    They leave behind friends, extended family, support networks, have to learn a new language, new culture, endure shitty food, endure racism and systemic discrimination, just to work 12 hours a day and spend all their money on rent.

    I think this is a big contributor to their support for Trump and liberalism. To do otherwise is to realize they got conned by the American Scam.

    I foresee violence coming in greater scale, and I am never wrong.

    So, dear reader, notice how whenever defenders of tipping come along, it’s always the same story.

    Oh boohoo my poor minimum wage (which is pegged to the same minimum wage as non-tipped workers in states where most people live).

    Ever wonder why it’s always about the minimum wage and never about how much money they make?

    Any server with 2 brain cells clears $40 an hour in untaxed cash wages every shift.

    They never report it on their taxes, and yet they will cry about their poor wittle wage at every opportunity expecting people that make half their salary to tip them 100% for rudely dropping off a plate once and never coming back, making you wait 20 minutes to close a check.

    Notice the pattern. Remember how I was right next time.

    Ask them if they’d rather abolish tipping next time. Notice how none of them say “yes”.
