Big Beef City posted:I think socialist policies are p cool to some extent but I don't self-identify as 'a socialist' because people are too stupid to understand what words mean and mentally associate that word with things it doesn't mean, then post semi-ironic threads about socialism on comedy websites. Most people I've seen claiming to be socialists don't really know what it means either. They think it means having socialized healthcare and free money from the government.

Companion Cube posted:The bit about the oranges and the kerosene is good too. I used it once to educate some folks about why the right thing to do with the food waste from our cafe was to let the poor and the homeless eat it instead of having a manager standing over us as we threw it out to make sure no one tried to take it home before it was trashed, and then a different manager walking us out to the dumpster area with a key so the bag of trash could be locked up where no one could get any use out of it before it could get crushed or incinerated. Anyway that's how I got fired from Starbuck's for being a socialist. I worked for Starbucks and they were happy to donate the leftover cafe poo poo as long as it was to someone who could prove they were representing an actual charity organization instead of just a person from off the street. We did it all the time, but it's bad for business and unsafe to customers and staff to have a bunch of random rear end people hanging around the store waiting for the food to be thrown out at night. You got fired for being an idiot.
