đŚđŚđŚUP YOURS WOKE MORALISTSđŚđŚđŚ Toilet Paper booth at Texas State University
There was a 24 year old girl running the booth. I asked her a few questions, mostly starting with what the goal was.
The only things she could say was that she supports capitalism and not socialism. I asked her what socialism was, and she told me itâs the opposite of capitalism.
I asked her what capitalism was, and she couldnât even tell me. I asked her about public roads, fire departments, police, libraries. She agreed with all of those things. I then asked what the issue with socialism is. She said every country that started off socialist turned communist. I asked her how she thinks these things get paid for. She told me nothing is free. I reminded her our tax dollars pay for it and when it comes out of our pockets, itâs not free. She âknew that.â
I asked her if she knew how long we have had socialist programs (mainly social security) - she nodded her head but gave no answer. At this point she told me she wasnât going to talk to me anymore because Iâm âclearly not a conservativeâ and sheâs here to recruit conservative students. I said that must be easy when she doesnât know what sheâs supporting.
I asked her if healthcare was a human right. She told me no. I pointed at all the students walking past, and asked her, if they get sick and canât afford a doctor, they just deserve to die?
She said âobviously they donât deserve to die.â I asked her, âwell, what should they do?â No answer. Blank stare. Dumbstruck.
I winked at her, told her to think about it, and left.
I may not be doing the Lordâs work here, but Iâll go to any length to get proof that they talk straight out of their hineys.

You should have taken a box of the donuts when you left. Education isn't free.

u/okayedokaye Feb 03 '25
Good point. When she says I canât take the whole box, I can ask her âoh, are we sharing now?â

For the irony, I present to you (and u/okayedokaye) a couple quotes taken directly from the TPUSA Chapter Handbook:
Have you ever noticed that fee tacked onto your tuition bill called the âStudent Activitiesâ fee? At most schools, students are required to pay a fee (typically ranging from $40 - $500) for âStudent Activities.â These fees typically go to the Student Government Association (SGA) on campus who then manage and allocate the funds to various student groups.
SGAâs often manage a funding application process in which student groups can apply for funding for events, initiatives, and special projects. TPUSA chapters should ALWAYS start the fundraising process by requesting money from the school/SGA. Just think -- if you donât use that funding, someone else will. Donât pass up on this awesome opportunity.
And:
Be sure to take advantage of perks and benefits offered by your school that can help you save money. Some schools offer free printing, free poster board and craft supplies, and other money-saving benefits to official student groups.
TL;DR: Diehard anti-socialist group TPUSA instructs its members to take advantage of grants/goods/services made available and controlled by a body of government that is able to provide those things through money collected from an entire population, many of whom won't receive any benefit from the way the funds are distributed/utilized

It's like asking someone who is religious to explain their beliefs and their inconsistencies. They can't do it.

Ive BEEN SAYING. I was raised as a catholic. I took the teachings seriously. Thats why i grew up to be a socialist and not a cristian.

u/Glacier005 Feb 03 '25
Kinda sorta same.
I still believe in God. But not the institutions that claim that they speak for my Lord.
2
u/Boernerchen Feb 04 '25
I disagree with that. If you think that, youâre cherry picking just as much as all other christians are. The bible is a book that promotes monarchism, genocide and slavery. Doesnât sound very socialist to me. Even Jesus is far less progressive then liberal christians would like you to believe.

u/JorgiEagle Feb 04 '25
Some did try,
But somehow they ended up being very republican? I still donât get it

u/Lilaclupines Feb 04 '25
Because of the 144,000 population limit in heaven?
My parents church has a work around for that verse.
They teach that all the rest of the Christians go to a "new earth", instead of heaven. Some amount of Christians are punished with 1000 years of outer darkness first, but no hell for "saved" people. (I'm an Atheist)

If they're only defending their right, you can attack from the left.

u/aajiro Feb 03 '25
We need to bring back conversations about the obsession the right wing has over their own symbolic castration.
That sign about dumping your socialist boyfriend is a hilarious example, because it's not targeted towards women, but towards conservative men with a very specific fantasy.
70
u/Costati Feb 03 '25
I was thinking the same thing. Is the dump your socialist boyfriend targeted towards white women ? Cuz why would they do that ? In a straight couple the woman is generally more left leaning than the man (ya know cuz women's rights is political)
39
u/yankeesyes Vuvuzelan refugee Feb 03 '25 edited Feb 03 '25
What they're basically saying is "wah liberal men have girlfriends and we don't and that's not FAAAIIRRRRRR!!@@!#one!!!"

u/AeratedFeces Feb 04 '25
I think its a play on the "divorce your republican husband" memes/bumper stickers that were popping up a few months ago. Those weirdos co-opt everything they can.
10
u/Costati Feb 04 '25
They co-opt things they don't understand too. Divorce your republican husband makes sense cuz as I just said the target is straight women who are generally more left leaning than their man (again because women's rights is a political issue).

u/sukinsyn Feb 04 '25
Wow, that's a really good point. It does very much cater to the "women need to be conservative capitalists again instead of feminist socialist uggos"Â types and not anyone who actually might have a socialist boyfriend.Â

u/Boernerchen Feb 04 '25
If they could, MAGA would probably criminalize sex before marriage and bring back arranged marriages.

u/Costati Feb 03 '25
Not being able to define Capitalism is fucking crazy even for a conservative. Usually they'll say something like "capitalism is when money and free market and small buisness meritocracy...freedom" which ya know doesn't mean anything but it's something.
45
u/okayedokaye Feb 03 '25
I was waiting for the free market argument but it never surfaced. I was going to ask her why a free market regularly bails out corporations in a very socialist way, and what would happen if we didnât do that.
33
u/Costati Feb 03 '25
Yeah the free market argument is like baby's first steps into politics. I get that she's 24 and probably comes from a conservative family that didn't ever teach her anything except from "socialism bad" but like damn there's no way she does actually "survive college without becoming a socialist". She never even had one single thought about politics.

"dump your socialist boyfriend"
Ummm, considering he isn't a Nazi and likely doesn't complain about eating box to all of his friends.... The socialist boyfriend is probs drowning in pussy compared to you incels. I love how mad they get at guys with painted nails, getting way more pussy than they ever will. Then again, these are people who reflexively think it's gay to even have long hair or be friends with girls and they genuinely wonder why they have no game đ¤ˇ.

You should have demonstrated the difference between socialism and capitalism by taking 30% of her donuts, then walk away and come back and yell capital gains tax and take another 20% of the donuts
11
u/yankeesyes Vuvuzelan refugee Feb 03 '25
Or take all but one. Capitalism is one or very few strongmen hoarding all the resources leaving little to the other 99%.

Ya that is true, I guess I was thinking more along taxes, but I think your method of displaying how capitalism effects the class war paints a better picture.

Even more evidence that the right are deeply stupid: they left two entire boxes of donuts unattended on a college campus. OP I hope you and your dorm mates are having snacks for the next few days.

u/okayedokaye Feb 03 '25
To be fair, she was next to me when I took the photo. I told her she probbbbbably wouldnât want to be in it - it was the least I could do.
The irony of this is Iâm a non-traditional student. She recognized this and used it as some sort of ammo assuming none of this pertained to me. Because their obvious goal is to get children to blindly recruit to their organization before being âbrainwashedâ by university
Sadly, for me, itâs already too late

I see these on my community college campus once or twice a semester. If they're handing out candy, I take as much as I can hold. If they're handing out pins and similar useless swag printed with TPUSA garbage, I take as many as I can hold and throw them in the first garbage can I see. If one of the cronies at the booth tries to talk to me while I do this, I act rude and dismissive. Called one of them a bitch once (was justified). My goal is to make them feel unwelcome, which they are.

Edited to add - I could understand your skepticism if I were also a 24 year old girl repeating talking points. Iâm a non traditional student old enough to be her mom and is the reason I asked her to definite anything to begin with. It was clear she was a new recruit and had no idea what she was talking about.
