I can at least partially understand levying an abuse tax on truly "optional" abuse-items like tobacco or alcohol, but why charge it on gasoline? That's a necessary commodity to merely get around, and besides, it's not as if we aren't TRYING to use other fuels and/or forms of motive-power --- many people are trying to promote "green" forms of transportation like bicycles, electric vehicles, ethanol, etc., but the powers-that-be are actively squelching the development of such technology. Why, even GM itself crushed its own EV1 electric cars that people ALREADY WERE USING AND LOVED... what kinda convoluted nonsense does THAT make??!?!

Get the Abuse Brandon Day mug.The use of logic, economic theory, or detached language to recast systemic exploitation as a neutral, inevitable, or even beneficial process. It transforms acts of harm into abstract data points, "trade-offs," or necessary evils, while pathologizing the victims for their suffering. The violence of the system is laundered through vocabulary.
Example: A corporate memo announcing mass layoffs to "right-size the company" and "maximize shareholder value," while offering outplacement services. The human devastation of lost livelihoods, health insurance, and purpose is rationalized as a prudent financial strategy. The abuse rationalization frames the decision as a hard but logical business necessity, not a human catastrophe.
