I'm not saying the system is perfect, I never said that, I said that using this hurricane as some sort of moral ammuntion against the system reflects back on you poorly. I also said that you should maybe try to help the people affected by this disaster rather than sit in your ivory tower gloating about how right you are in your opinions. Sorry about the shitty attitude, I didn't know critisizing people and being a bit smarmy was wrong.

This is getting ridiculous, you've argued yourself into a corner that you can't get out of and you are scrambling up the wall as if its some sort of escape.

It is using the hurricane as moral ammunition, because while you have a point about price gouging, you ruin it by ignoring the fact that real people are hurting, instead focusing on how this is toatally all capitalisms fault. Oh sure, you say that you think people its important for people to meet their vital needs, but you pretend that solutions to this problem that don't involve doing away with capitalism don't exist. You can donate and spread the word to help out, any little bit can help and complaining about capitalism won't help.

Heck you waited until you were called out in this thread to even bother sharing some sort of relief fund for harvey/irma on your twitter and even then it was a bit sketchy and even then it was a donation form that agreed with your ideology and discouraged donating to the american red cross. Yeah you know, that scam organization the american red cross that is globally known for how well they handle situations like this. 100% Scam. If you want to make sure the money is going to the right place its fairly simple, there are a lot of articles detailing ways to donate and if you don't trust the capitalist media, you can always cross reference articles and do some background checking yourself. Its a bit of leg work but its worth it if you really want to help. But thats the problem, you don't seem to want to help, you only care about it being the fault of an economic system you dont like.

Theres a lot you can do including spread the word about how others can help out. But hey, if you did that you wouldn't have problems to blame on capitalism. If you want to make me out to be the bad guy here, try harder.

I realize that this might not be the best post to make after being unbanned, but I think I have the right to at least defend myself as I feel that LeftyGreenMario misrepresented what I was actually saying in my posts in the now defunct thread. I can easily see why though, as its true that I was being rude about it (I had family in florida at the time of irma so some of the posts really rubbed me the wrong way).

My point in that thread was that acting as if doing away with capitalism was the only way to fix the problems arising from irma and harvey was wrong and made it seem like staple was just using these disasters as political ammo. However, its possible I misinterpreted what staple actually meant (just as you have misinterpreted what I meant). Donating was simply an example of a seperate solution and not me saying "don't complain if you don't help", though its also true that I suggested methods such as sharing links to reputable places that you could go to help out. While my temperment was wrong, being rude isn't acceptable if I want to make a point, I still stand by my opinion that it is wrong to act as if capitalism is the root of this problem and not just being affected as part of a bigger political problem.

Here is hoping we can put this behind us now that what actually happened has been cleared up; this will be my last post on the subject.
