anyone who ever attends an event at any of these venues needs to be shamed. maybe punched and spit on.
anyone who owns any of these arenas is a rich asshole who's probably funding a genocide in addition to keeping its victims from receiving aid. they need to be killed. their heirs need to have everything daddy gave them clawed back and given to the victims.
Yeah, the common people are the real evil in this story. 🙄
I think that's how you create a conscience in them. shame works for making people avoid stuff.
No you don't create class conscience by spitting on those that know nothing. You do the opposite actually
I have tried asking strangers to spit on me once. that got expensive fast, and I don't think it got much consciousness raising done.
It is not.
well, I beg to differ. if you're nice they think you're weak. you can be logical and try to explain but you can't string multiple ideas together without triggering defensiveness.
I guess you can start a cult/clique but that feels way grosser and less morally okay than people spitting on and punching each other.
shame doesn't make people do things, but it does make them stop doing things.
It also makes them resent you and the point you're making.
it should, but it doesn't.
shame as a social tool to control public opinion is an incredible power that is hardly used in western societies.
in Japan public public shame is so powerful it will make people literally kill themselves.
only an idiot would think shame doesn't form public opinion.
I invite you to put that theory to the test at your earliest convenience. Let's see that shame in action.
do you even anarchy bro?
the "common people" are always the evil in every story.
the blind masses that ignore critical thought and assume that the greater authority will somehow figure it out.
Sometimes it’s the only location to host your event with a large crowd. Sometimes the most liberal bands perform there, and they’re so big it’s the only one in the city to host that many people.
At least for climate pledge arena, they regularly make sure to donate to renewable energy, the local tribes, and the community.
99.9% of people have no clue about what's going on here
that's why the shaming and spitting!
Oh yes the least productive way to get your point across.
You educate the unaware, you spit on the aware that don't care. Learn the difference
used to be a thing. was kind of my entire shit. have you tried recently? that feature is deprecated.
Based on your inclination to spit first I'm not surprised it went poorly.
People appreciate when you swallow
yes I have always thought the things I think. a human is not a dynamic living thing, but a static eternal unchanging object.
if I hit you and dpit on you will you promise to stay away from these places?
Um. Yes, please.
Do you take Venmo?
you're paying me by staying the fuck away and being visibly ashamed when you go through that part of town. no money required.
Yes, Mrs. Daddy. I am ashamed.
