Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So it’s okay if Nestle exploits an entire community as long as it serves the greater good?
Yes?
If Nestle bought the property to your town’s water supply, and sold it back to you for a profit, that would still be for the greater good?
If it means jobs at Nestle, income for the government from a large corporation that otherwise wouldn't exist in a developing nation, and increased standard of living nationwide? Yes, absolutely.
Child slavery doesn’t matter if it means jobs: https://utopia.org/guide/5-of-nestles-worst-controversies-explained/
Ah yes, supporting one act certainly means I support all acts.
The subject was Nestle, you replied that you would support them despite crimes; ie, you support child slavery. Just read about it man. Yes, I’m a degenerate, idiot , fuckup of a man; and should probably suffer and die a horrible death. Just learn.
I know more than you, and yet have not insulted you at all. You made that up
Who was I quoting?
My quote, not yours.

You think because you have an unpopular opinion, your friends are wrong, never trying to understand why. I was self deprecating to disarm your ego, to no avail. Everyone else is wrong, you are right. Now convince your friends that Nestle is the pinnacle of the free market. Good luck.
I corrected your comma splice in the quote but yes, generally. It's a consequence of actually looking things up all the time
I’m genuinely scared for our future.
Why so?
Sorry, replies are not working right. It is all my fault, all of it. Sometimes people do the the wrong thing, we’re not monoliths.
See you're catching on!
You quoted yourself quoting me? I was just trying to help you understand why your friends dislike Nestle, but you seem hostile. You should explore why?
No, I quoted you. I fixed your splice in the quote.
I haven't been hostile toward you whatsoever.
You can have all the quotes. Just stop embarrassing me with your intellect. It’s unassailable and frightens me.
Idk why you're trying to "stock internet argument" this whole thing, but this conversation is 100% your doing. Also you're not even responding to the comments you clearly intend to be responding to.
