    Because it’s a binary choice where the other option is someone not even willing to pretend they’ll help you.

      Still a bad option.

      The person who is upfront about it can be reasoned with. The liar is never going to be trustworthy.

      If the guy at the train station lies and tells me that the train will be here in an hour I waste an hour. If he tells me the train has been cancelled I know to make another plan.

        A better example would be a waiter who spits on your sandwich in the kitchen vs one who’ll spit on it after they drop it off at the table.

        Your best choice is to burn down the diner.

          Nothing says ‘privilege’ more than people who talk about burning the system down.

          It’s like the guys who have never been in a fight are always ready to see other people go at it.

            I don’t know. Expecting people to go along with a system that’s literally killing them seems way more privileged. You must not be suffering under the current status quo.

                Again, you’re outing yourself. Not only do you obviously not have a US corporation or cop pointing a gun at you, but you can’t even perceive the people around you who do.

                  lol!

                  You are freely using a computer. You obviously have access to electricity, and probably haven’t missed a meal in your life.

                  Where’s this gun pointed at your head?

                    Dude you really can’t stop embarrassing yourself.

                    You ever had to ration insulin? Ever been subjected to police brutality? Ever been driven to homelessness because corporate landlords bought all the housing inventory?

          Even your own example doesn’t prove your point. I’d rather someone spit in my food where I can see it and ignore it.

            Actually, that’s exactly my point. Blue MAGA acts shocked people don’t want to bury their heads in the sand with them, and expects the rest of us to stop complaining and just eat the spit.

              So you would rather eat spit than see someone spit in your food and send it back? No wonder you’re praising republicans

                No, I’d rather shoot the person who spit in my sandwich.

                You’re the one who believes the only alternative to democrats is republicans. Don’t project your idiocy onto me.

                  I sincerely doubt you’re going to actually shoot anyone. You’re just sitting on the internet and complaining, while calling people ignorant who know what “first past the post” means.
