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.
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.
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.

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

You think someone posting that they’re pro-genocide would get less down votes?
Obviously not as bad as genocide but it’s pretty close.
