This is a severe attack against people who don’t put their carts away.
Their actions just leave a small inconvenience for other people … their actions don’t wholesale destroy the lives of entire groups of people or cause outright war, genocide, death or destruction.
People who don’t mind making the world a little bit worse for literally everyone else if it saves them some small amount of effort are the real monsters, because they think they’re not.
You are right of course, but that’s part of the joke. I think it’s provokes such a viseral response because it’s directly “against” the reader, not many of us can claim to be directly impacted by genocide for example, even though it’s way worse.
lol … I find it humorous that I’m getting downvoted for saying it … if only people would get as upset about people putting away shopping carts as they do actual real world genocide.
Funny I never see such hatred for people who leave their garbage on movie theatre seats or not clearing their trays at fast food places.
Some people have disabilities and sometimes it’s just tough enough to shop and they are too tired or worn out by the end of their monthly shopping trip to bring the cart to the cart shed. I feel like everyone shitting on people leaving carts out of the cart shed are fully able bodied healthy young people who will one day do the thing they are complaining about, and realise they were being wieners about it. It’s not the end of the world to leave your cart 10 metres from the shed.
Some day, if you are lucky, you will be at an age where you are able to walk the grocery store very slowly and feebly, relying on your cart to stand up and lean on, but too old and tired to to bring it to the cart shed.
Everyone agrees you should put your cart away, but there is no reward for doing so and no punishment for not doing it. Therefore it says a lot about the individual if they will “do the right thing” just because it makes things slightly better for other people, or if they won’t bother doing a simple act in order to avoid inconveniencing someone else if they aren’t forced to do so.
For such a simple act, it shows an extreme amount of selfishness to not do it.

I mean, ok, genocide is bad, too, I suppose.

You think someone posting that they’re pro-genocide would get less down votes?

Fuck off and walk a couple of meters. Seriously as a non american this level of egoism is unfathomable for me

It’s really not that big of a crime.

Well…maybe you should put your cart away lazybones. Then you won’t have to worry about the Krampus getting you.
I starting to think that people have more respect for Krampus than they do the United Nations.
Obviously not as bad as genocide but it’s pretty close.
