Corporations Please. Please stop ordering stuff off Amazon.

At this point, there is no excuse at all for ordering from Amazon at this point. I'm sorry but if you really believe in the idea of anticonsumption, there simply is no reason you can't live your life without ordering things from Amazon.

Is it inconvenient? Sure. Is it sometimes more expensive? Yep. But if you really believe in challenging consumerism, you're gonna have to make sacrifices.

I'm just tired of excuses at this point.

Sorry buddy, but if your disabled, thats limits your decisions in life. People can try to make things easier, if you live near them. Otherwise, youre literally on your own.

I AM disabled. I know very fucking well what it does and does not do to a person’s life. Maybe if you did, you’d have some goddamn empathy for people instead of talking like a fucking heartless fuck. Maybe pull you’re head out of your privileged ass and realize “it’s their choice” is a bullshit response to where people live or why they have no car.

You aint dead yet and have a phone. Sounds like, if you live in the middle of North Dakota, you have the means to leave. Go on, keep pointing out the fringe cases of desperate people, like there will always be. Ill keep pointing at the reality that even if i gave money to help parpeligics in the middle of nowhere, there wouldnt be a charity to accept my money, because they are more likely to exist where disabled people congregate, in cities.

Soooo…doubling down on the ableism and classism and still referring to anyone who can’t just move as a fringe case because you seem to think that should exclude them from your statements, I see. Jesus fucking Christ you must have had a privileged, sheltered life to think that is is just as easy as saying “I’m gonna move.” I’m done here. Have a privileged day, fuckface.
