Can’t believe they aren’t catering to you, a person who does not patronize their business

“I havent set foot in a bookstore for years but that wont stop me from going online to whine about how they dont pander to me” is very much where reactionary activism is around 2026 https://t.co/L02cBdYhqR

Well, they don’t organize the store for people who go to the bookstore every few years

Allow me to explain capitalism to you. You have to purchase and read books in order to expect them to market to you.
I also promise there are already books you would enjoy in there. https://t.co/lTxC1CmzFr

Youre literally at a ‘Booktok’ Display. Show the general fiction, or fantasy/sci-fi and horror sections. Performative grifting.

Back to @ChristianHeiens, because we are never less than fair and balanced, who had this to say about the response his prompted tweeted.
The replies and QTs to this are hilarious.
Some of you have apparently never heard of Amazon. https://t.co/oNptq62kHK

Except …
The existence of Amazon doesn’t undermine the point that it’s understandable why bookstores don’t cater to people who don’t enter them for years at a time.

Precisely.
Last word to this person, an especially enjoyable response to end on.
Please yes, for the love of god, read some books. https://t.co/pblRL15Q0J
