        The vast majority of people involved in the entire history of organized labor had families. You’re not helping the people who depend on you by being a coward.

          The vast majority of people involved in the entire history of organized labor had families. You’re not helping the people who depend on you by being a coward.

          I help my wife by paying for her insanely expensive scleral lenses that she needs in order to fucking SEE.

          I help my kids by providing a stable grocery budget, reliable transportation to school and back, clothes, and shelter.

          I help my nonverbal preschooler by taking him to weekly speech therapy while my wife handles the rest of the family.

          You cannot help others when you can’t even help your own family. And calling the people who are literally unable to do anything outside of that, “cowards”, doesn’t help anybody and makes YOU a gigantic piece of shit for refusing to even try putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.

          I am doing everything I possibly can in my power, and more, just to keep my family afloat, then you fucking shitheels come in with nobody directly depending on you, point at people like me while puffing your chest out, proclaiming for all to hear: “LOOK, HE IS NOT WILLING TO DO SUCH A SIMPLE TASK, HE IS A COWARD AND A BAD MAN”.

          Unempathetic people like you are the entire reason for humanity’s pitfalls.

          Do yourself a favor: go fuck a cactus.

            That’s a whole lot of words to say “no fuck you I like being a coward and I resent being told to stop or take any responsibility whatsoever for the state of the world my children will inherit”

            You don’t have a clue whether I or any of the other people who’ve clearly told you this before have got dependents or not, and you don’t actually care. You’re just looking for any excuse you can find to ignore valid criticism, and in the absence of a coherent argument to support your spinelessness you’re more than happy to make shit up to discredit your critics. Trump would be proud.

      Yes, I’m totally chickenshit for choosing to keep my family fed and sheltered over a call to revolution made by some pissant on the Internet larping as a leftist guerilla.
