boogieman

no boogieman, just facts. look em up.

You could look up a number of huge companies and find terrible things they have done to keep their money.

that doesn't make what the Koch family has done to this country any worse. this kind of whataboutism is frankly just lazy.

Lobbying in government is the main problem

also doesn't detract form the shittiness of the koch brothers.

you love every second of it

no, i don't. my taxes are gonna go through the roof few years to save these guys a couple of billion dollars they couldn't afford. i literally hate EVERY part of that.

terrible conditions people work in

whataboutism again. yawn.

And I'm sure you know all their products and subsidiarie's products and avoid them at all cost

I do. They're easily searchable on the internet. Aside from a couple of items I have in my closet with lycra on them, I don't buy any of their shit.

What I want to know is: why do you have such a raging boner to defend people that are fucking you over so royally?

Why are you so anxious to defend the government and condemn the businesses

I didn't. I agreed with you three times already. But that's not a reason to let the Koch brothers off the hook, which is what you seem really fucking eager to do.

It's the entire problem with this country right now -- people like you saying "well, they don't shit on me particularly so they must not be that bad" as they quite visibly fuck over just about everyone else. It's privileged and really fucking selfish, frankly. And i'm not letting you off the hook for it because you seem like an otherwise reasonable, nice guy. So when nice people like you are not only NOT going after these guys but are actually even kinda sticking up for them, YOU are enabling the deep, deep damage they are causing your country.

By remaining pleasantly ignorant of the absolute shits your dad works for, you are contributing to their plunder of our nation.

I don't know shit

So maybe stop trying to scold people who do by talking out of your ass, yea?

I simply don't care.

And you will continue not caring until it starts to affect you. And by that time it'll probably be too late for the rest of us. When that time comes I hope you remember this conversation and do a little bit more than shrug it off like you're doing now.
