    Some neighborhoods tried, shops ended up closing, causing a lot of problems for the community. The corpos won’t make it easy to pull one over on them.

      Obvs more complicated than that, but generally.

      And like, if you can’t get groceries in your neighborhood; just organize raids into more affluent ones?

        Yes, but that will just end in violence among ourselves fighting for the last can of beans. I’m all for sticking it to big corp, but innocent people can’t get hurt in the crossfire.

        Forcing a store to close only make the underpaid staff jobless. The execs can go open up shop somewhere else, or have enough of a financial cushion to not give a fuck and retire.

          among ourselves

          Lolno. Thats not us, and any idiot who defends their corporate masters’ property against a hungry mob is not someone i would ever include in ‘us’

          Remember; the food exists. This is just a distribution system.

            “among ourselves” is the all poor people fighting over the now limited food supply that your raids caused. If you think everyone is going to peacefully work together to properly ration that shit out, you’re nuts.

            The rich will be laughing from their mansions with food shipped directly to their mouth.

              people, especially poor desperate people, immediately go to shit in a crisis

              No. This is the opposite of how that works. This has been studied. Go jack off your stuffed tiger alone if you like, but i don’t need to see that.

              food shipped directly

              Babe, thats still gettable.

                Your complete misquote of my statement doesn’t aid in your argument at all. It makes you look like mainstream news misquoting everyone for clicks.

                If you choose to extrapolate meaning and paraphrase my statement that’s fine. But you misquoted it, added words, didn’t provide much of a counterpoint and you don’t even want to see me jack of a stuffed tiger, so rude.

                It only takes one person to be so fucking desperate for their beans they end someone’s life over it. That life isn’t going to be from the rich class, its gonna be some grandma who got shoved out of the way for the can.

                If you want to put society in a situation where every day people have to fear for their lives grocery “shopping” or struggle to get food and their life saving meds because all the pharmas left town than you are no better than the rich assholes who watch us struggle while wiping their asses with 3ply hundred dollar bills.

                  not my exact words!

                  Im specifying the idea im respobding to. Not the words you used. A sentence can contain multiple ideas and interpretations, not all of which I’m going to find interesting.

                  Is that not something you believe? Then correct me. Wbat were you saying?

                  not much of a counterpoint

                  Shouldn’t take much to correct then.

                  if you want yo put people in the position many already occupy, just to avoid choking to death on the cocks of our corporate masters, then you’re just as bad as them!

                  Oh. .world. 'K.

                    We’ve derailed a bit from the original topic.

                    Let me ask you this, what do you think will happen to a community of people if their main supply of food goes away?
