that planted the first seeds with the whole funny trivia about sinclair "this is a story about the misery capitalism visits upon the working class" over-your-head "ew yucky sausage"

was just kind of a dipshit "lib by default" until a bunch of things coincided to push me left: chuds pointing out that trump was just doing shit obama already did ("oh ok well that doesn't make me like trump it just makes me hate obama too"), dems making me sick of them by sucking off mccain's fresh corpse right as I'm in the middle of re-evaluating everything I thought I knew about both parties, and cth existing at the right time and place to catch my frustration with civility theater

then several years of the sub and now you folks deworming my brain

The prob when they teach that book is that they dont contextualize it, the widespread of it and really drive home the point that if they could theyd absolutely make three year olds work in the slaughterhouse

oh for sure, we made the fda and that solved everything forever, please ignore the increasing stream of news stories about illegal slaughterhouse child labor and states openly re-legalizing it in response
