@bleakrealityRI@shesrightshow "Having a negative opinion of Israel" is different than being so obsessed about Israel that it takes over your life, your analysis of every other political issue, and causes you to jumpscare yourself when your own mom calls
@Kyonzopmg@hutchinson If this -- which is the standard boring Biden/Kamala lib position -- is "most of the shit Bernie wants", then why were all the Socialists equivocating so hard between Dems and Fascists?
@Spanxxxy@hutchinson@chieloverFGC Not supporting your Means doesn't mean I don't support your Ends.
We should take government action to make sure everyone can have access to quality affordable food
State Run Bodegas are not an effective way of making sure everyone has wuality affordable food
@Spanxxxy@hutchinson@chieloverFGC Even if CPGs in a grocery store were a monopoly (they arent though), state run retailers in no way addresses that. Govt bodegas still need to buy wholesale from Unilever to stock its shelves. Retailers and CPGs are different businesses
@hazardous_wast3@hutchinson@chieloverFGC Bodegas and food supply are the most competitive markets with lowest margins. There are many sectors where you can make arguments of crony capitalism but groceries arent really it
@ReexamineLishan@ThaliaIactaEst@Mirs_____@SolarpunkUrban You are giving me this reply as if it isnt a response to me acknowledging that there are people who use 'centrism' as a label to launder ideological commitments.
I agree that there are.
P => Q is not the same as Q=>P
@s0menumber5@ThaliaIactaEst@Mirs_____@SolarpunkUrban I don't disagree, which is why the bottom middle on the graph exists.
But a commitment to factuality lends itself to publishing information that is both convenient to, and inconvenient to, all ideologies, and thus has a tendency to appear centrist
@hazardous_wast3@hutchinson@chieloverFGC You act like I want people who can't afford food to starve.
I want everyone to be able to eat, which is why we should have and expand SNAP so people can afford food.
You can say you wish market principles didn't apply to food since its a need, but unfortunately they do
@hazardous_wast3@hutchinson@chieloverFGC I agree that prices go up every year.
That seems to imply theres some limit to how much they can increase prices per year, and that limit is not just the limit of their greed
It's almost like they increase it based on what the market can bear
@ThaliaIactaEst@Mirs_____@SolarpunkUrban (...) who should be deemed as partisan and untrustworthy the same as an ideological left or right, but to be a news source who's only goal is to portray facts is to not stray away from inconvient truths (...)
@DeetosBandito@hutchinson@drefranks4 You literally said "[bodegas] is efficient at a different goal" followed by "its goal is to increase access to food"
This isnt a "you hate waffles", this is the literal straightforward reading of your text
