Someone is being a little sensitive today...... What's got you so touchy about the subject? You own a failing small business or something?

    Lol it's just a weird thing to get hung up on is all. Just because somebody supports a small business over a mega corp doesn't mean they are thrilled with capitalism. Seems like a made up issue to talk about hating a system when there's more than enough real or impactful issues, I didn't mean to hurt so many feelings. I didn't know groups of liberals talking about small business was affecting so many people in the country so deeply

    No one but you suggested that was happening?

    Conservatives constantly use small businesses as a front to pass the fiscal policies that you are alluding to. I can't even count the number of times a conservative politician has used the phrase "small businesses are the backbone of America"

    Also, the only person who seems too emotional is you.

    Not sure why you think I'm emotional, I expressed an opinion that's different, that's all. The meme was somebody being frustrated hearing liberals tell you to support small business. Idk, nobody tells me how to shop, I just called in to question how often the issue actually happened to the poster to make them post this. Not sure why you responded "wut" to me calling out the subject matter, or why you are suggesting nobody brought the matter up, it is the little caption on the meme. People are just in a rush to grab a pitchfork lol

    Not sure why you think I'm emotional

    Your very first comment to the post was just dripping with unwarranted condescension which is the hallmark of someone who is angry about something and spiteful towards the person they're replying to. That is all very much emotional. And to be clear, it's not "wrong" to be emotional, it's often the appropriate response (though in your case, it was not). Own up to it.

    I expressed an opinion that's different, that's all.

    Oh that's all? Just an opinion, really? You're so clearly doing the "I'm not mad, I'm not mad! You're the one whose mad!" thing and anyone reading this thread can see that, whether they agree with you or not. It's not wrong to be upset about something, but come on and just own it instead of denying it and embarrassing yourself by pretending otherwise.

    The meme was somebody being frustrated hearing liberals tell you to support small business. Idk, nobody tells me how to shop, I just called in to question how often the issue actually happened to the poster to make them post this.

    This has nothing to do with anyone "telling you how to shop," but that that's where you immediately take it is very telling about your mindset. Do you have any idea what outsized role small business owners (aka petty bourgeoisie) have played in all historical and current fascist movements? Of course you don't, or you wouldn't have acted so personally aggrieved, thinking OP was criticizing your shopping habits (lol). Your snarky and sarcastic tantrum about OP's completely justified seething at the well-known liberal tradition of idolizing some of the most objectively reactionary elements of society only goes to show how deeply ignorant you are about leftist theory and historical reality.

    People are just in a rush to grab a pitchfork lol

    "Could I be wrong? No, of course not! It's just that everyone else is out to get me."
