  • He chose a post about how these people are threatened, and complained because it wasn’t about him. Not only to complain about how this is the one place he didn’t see himself represented, but then to use that as an excuse for supporting people who are literally trying to kill the people on that shirt. If you don’t see why that isn’t disturbingly problematic and childishly selfish I don’t know what to say to you.

    Literally everyone who isn’t rich is suffering in that same way. The rigged economy is trying to kill all of us. But working class straight white men don’t also have that blamed on them and don’t have their lives threatened in the way these people do on a daily basis.

    I’m a straight white male saying this to you and him, grow the fuck up. I have the same grievances about the rigged economy. And to top that off, I have a chronic life threatening illness.The people in power are trying way harder to kill me than the average straight white male. You don’t see me bitching and moaning that I’m not on that shirt, because I see myself on that shirt. Those people are me, we are all humans struggling. I know who the real enemy is. I would NEVER blame my problems on these people, or complain that their struggle is getting recognition. Because that struggle is IN ADDITION to all the same economic bullshit I have to struggle with day in and day out.

    Instead of saying, “yeah, shit sucks out there and I’m with you,” he chose to say “this is why people like me support the people trying to kill you.” That is so fucked up beyond belief. THAT’S why he’s being dismissed.


  • There was no push here, and that it’s perceived is the real enemy’s propaganda doing its job. But yeah, keep thinking that punching down is the solution to the problem. I’m sure the guys who would rather starve people than help them afford healthcare are going to solve all this guy’s grievances as long as he helps them pick on minorities. I mean, just look at all the history of how well that’s worked.

    I tell you what I told the last guy. This shirt wasn’t about him, but like every other insecure white male, he had to make it about him. It’s pathetic. And it’s the exact insecurity that those rich billionaires use to get idiots to vote for their interests by scapegoating the very people represented on that shirt. And it is OVERWHELMINGLY white males that are those idiots.

    I wasn’t born rich either, but the last people I’m going to blame it on are the people with less security in this world than me.

    Again, you’re missing that this shit wasn’t about you. And of course as an insecure white male you went and made it about you. Because you perceived it as a slight.

    “They didn’t put me on the shirt and that’s why people like me vote for literal Nazis that want to kill these people.” Is the whiniest white male shit in the world.

    You’re falling for it.

    The most white male take in the world. Not enough that everything is dominated by white males, someone has to specifically reach out and tell you you’re special otherwise it’s an attack or a slight. It’s not like it’s a shirt of people who are literally oppressed minorities.

    As a straight white male myself, you should be ashamed.



  • 3D printing is extremely more accessible than it was 5 years ago. Most people who go to these craft fairs probably know someone who has, or has access to, a 3D printer. They are available at local libraries in many places. And most importantly, even $200-300 models are very reliable and easier to use now. These businesses are a dime a dozen on Etsy. YouTube has been flooded with videos of people saying “I made X in just one year 3D printing.” Since OP knows how to design they probably should have focused on 3D design and printing services for businesses using engineering materials instead of craft fairs.
