To me this points a hard hand at liberals who have not actually chosen a side, but instead sit on the fence between social change and capitalism. If you’re still catering to capitalism, you’re allowing racism, sexism, ableism, and homophobia to continue as well as allowing the rich to rule all other classes. (realraven)

Also there is a longer version of this video I have yet to watch, but the amount of waste and the impact on health is off the charts. Recycle your old phones if they don’t work, use a friend’s old model if yours breaks, we have to stop consuming at some point, but at this rate it’ll be when there is nothing left to consume.
Dwight might be right “There are too many people on this earth, we need a new plague.”

Swanson Pyramid of Greatness

1st Row:
Frankness-Cut the B.S.

Capitalism-God’s way of determining who is smart and who is poor.

Facial Hair-Full thick and square. Nothing sculpted. If you have to sculpt it that probably means you can’t grow it.

Living in the Woods-Live off the land

Rage-One rage every three months is permitted. Try not to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it.

Security-Secure the land.

Poise-Sting like a bee. Do not float like a butterfly. That’s ridiculous.

Handshakes-Firm, dry, solid. 3 seconds.

Body Grooming-Only women shave beneath the neck.
