@cell the us government sued tobacco companies while subsidizing tobacco farms

@cell people reply to this "the us goverment is so big that of course it will have disagreeing parts that contradict each other on policy" without a hint of irony or understanding that this is a sign of a bad situation

@sun @cell do you think those people don't realize that.
have you considered they consider that a given and so don't bother saying it.
show me a single unironic status quo enjoyer alive today. i don't think you can find them.

@HatkeshiatorTND @cell I think they want the stuff that the giant government gives and they don't really care about abstract values or if the thing even really works overall
