  • How far would you swallow your morals for money?

    Jump

  • I get everything I need from my current salary, so right now it would be infinity dollars. More money won't make me happier and an eviler job would make me less happy.

    But if my family was in danger of becoming homeless, then I would do nearly anything to protect them. It's easy to say now, but I'd probably value their lives at significantly more than the lives I'd take. Especially if I felt the victims were deserving somehow.

  • And yet still people have the nerve to tell us to protest peacefully.

    All they had to do was pay him enough to fucking live.

  • I grew up reading Dilbert and got a bunch of the books. It hits so different now - every comic is about how corporations abuse us for profit, but then you realize the author actually supports it.

  • That creates an actual slippery slope.

    Day 1: everyone just down votes and it's sunk

    Day 2: one good day for the nazi tolerant, it gets enough unknowing upvotes to make it to the front page. A handful of anti-fascists block the poster and community.

    Day 3: the people who politely raised their concerns above have also left. Everyone who remains is OK with downvoting on a case-by-case basis.

    Day 4: people who don't like Nazis are exhausted by having to say no over and over, also leaving.

    Day 5: all that's left are Nazis

    Back in 2020, a writer named Michael B. Tager wrote a few tweets about his time at a dive bar in his native Baltimore.

    While he was enjoying an after work beer he noticed the bartender booting out a seemingly quiet patron. This patron was wearing a jacket covered in Nazi symbolism.

    When Tager asked about why he booted the guy, the bartender, a seasoned pro, said that if you let one Nazi in, slowly they replace the clientele.

    “You have to nip it in the bud immediately,” he said, as Trager paraphrased. “These guys come in and it's always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don't want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after a while, they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.”

    “And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh *****, this is a Nazi bar now,” he continued. ”And it's too late because they're entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.”

  • Theology might just be overly-specific literary study, but I can at least acknowledge when someone is a world-class expert on it.
