  • mad at… perceived systemic issues. the fact that it’s fake news is irrelevant, since the criticisms levied here are applicable to any instance of government pollution. yall are basically saying “you can’t be mad at that if you poison yourself in other ways!” which is obviously an absurd thing to say to someone who’s angry at your cause. the only alternative explanation is that the people here assume she just doesn’t believe that smoking is bad for her?? like that’s it’s funny to believe a bizarre thing is true and a well known fact is false? but you can’t all possibly be that naive to think she doesn’t know smoking is bad for her.

    this is important. these are the kinds of biases that we NEED to keep in check.


  • I mean, setting aside conspiracy or whatever clamor we could make about tap water… if someone is already addicted to nicotine, are they just not allowed to get angry at systemic forces anymore? Is that the point of this post?

    Like, if the city government lets some company dump toxic waste into our drinking water supply, are the smokers just supposed to be cool with that? No, of course not, that would be absurd. You’d want smokers and non-smokers all marching on city hall, wouldn’t you?

    You people just want to hate on addicts. Just spare me the fucking soapbox in my inbox please, I really don’t want to hear it.
