But the only reason that's true is because people like you insist on tribalism. Well our enemies who are 99.999% genetic identicals to us, just over that hill, have militaries and so we need one. And they have one because there is some asshole who is saying the same thing. As long as your first step is tribalism humanity will never get out of it's current cesspool.

For your statements to make sense, it need to driven by a specific actor not the system as a whole. Ie, yes, a specific threat.

Lol, no. I was worried an autocorrect got me but you're in the wrong here. This is your bad.

And everyone who shops there

It didn't take long to spot the issue but the idea of using those signs is absolutely insane to me. Butter is obvious.

I assume a state like California which doesnt care about puritanical stupid

Nobody is arguing the store isn't also dumb, just that op is too. Grocery stores usually have 2 aisles of cold stuff, it's not hard.

That's not what you said

You said a company would threaten someone's family to force them to work for that company. I am not aware of any time in recent history that a company has done this.

Obviously a large corporation would kill people and they do.

I assumed they were trying to 1984 because...edgelord

Yes? I don't know what you're getting at

Why? They are dead. That makes them irrelevant.

You're an edgelord? That's a pre-existing condition.
