• This is what I hate about the homunculi of twitter company personalities. “Hahaa, did you see the way Walmart clapped back at IBM?“ Humanizing vast, faceless companies puppeted by sociopathic business majors triggers every rage response that my body can muster. Please, shut the fuck up

      People propagate this though. Company twitter accounts posting derivative meme shit is what people reshare. Most people consider Apple/Tesla/Pelaton/Nintendo to be their buddies and love it when their buddy seems like a down to earth, regular guy. It’s cringe.

        Points to the desolate wasteland of dead small businesses and underpaid workers subsisting on welfare unable to even afford shopping at walmart

          You guys really need to have some effective government that will enact normal minimal wage and anti monopoly laws. But I wonder if the most people are poor then why they don’t vote for a party that represents them and wants to raise or set minimum wage (whichever applies)?

          The logic says that everyone should vote for someone that will better their conditions and yet it looks like there’s some weird shit going on where only well off, rich people vote left. It’s completely backwards

          I vote left too and classic example of this and honestly I think I won’t next time cause it is not in my interest. Though centrist party here would probably be something like warren in USA

            People won’t vote for them because they “can’t win”, and they can’t win because people won’t vote for them. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle.

            Consider 3 candidates running for president right now: Jill Stein, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump. Jill Stein has a platform of raising the minimum wage, healthcare guaranteed as a human right, and a bunch of other awesome stuff. Harris has almost no platform at all, but she has vibes. And Trump wants to have a Christian dictatorship and deport millions of people.

            Stein is the only one of these 3 candidates who wants to raise the minimum wage, but she’s only polling at 1%, and people don’t want to vote for her because they’re afraid that Trump will win.

              I understand but still it is hilarious when people blame some Walmart of all things as a consequence. The evil Walmart regime

        Now I’m having visions of the high priestess X’twitterquatl sacrificing Mayan children on a pyramid as lightning flashes in an attempt to animate their engine of destruction; The Homonculus of X’twitter.
