Tonight… You.

This is a 2000s argument.

In 2026, you don’t need the nurse, doctor, or bed anymore because the profiteering is entirely speculation and stock manipulation, and the selling of a product or service isn’t even necessary. In fact, customers are completely irrelevant. That’s why prices keep going up - it doesn’t matter if you sell anything, as long as you convince investors to keep pumping money in. It’s an incestuous oroboros of providing nothing and creating power and money out of thin air.

Don’t engage. He’s chosen his path and there’s nothing to be said to convince him. Let him be content with his choices without external criticism or validation. It’s like being angry at a bear for shitting in the woods - it’s just its nature. There’s nothing to be gained here. Save your energy for causes that aren’t yet lost.

Always has been. They just can’t hide it now, so they’re out in the open

I’m gonna say that still counts as “cheap assets”

Tell me about it. I thought this was an angry leftist meme at first.

Honestly not sure whom I’m more sick of at this point.

It’s so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don’t have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can’t.

“Well, you guys are trying your best, but there’s nothing you can do without the numbers.”

“No, no… let’s be clear… Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything.”

That’s silly.

You won’t get to debate it forever. Just until the purity of your ideology leads you to a starve to death in a gulag.

The Nobel Committee:

But… those ARE the only two use cases.

Don’t engage with the troll. They know this. They aren’t commenting in good faith. They’re just trying to wear you down and distract you with absurdity.

Or maybe being murdered in the streets and then slandered in death by an unaccountable, above-the-law army of mouth-breathing illiterate racist fucks with no prospect of justice or sanity has finally pushed people out of the “peaceful resistance” phase.

I don’t blame them.

So have Americans.

I’m sure they’re just waiting for a city to deny an ICE operation so they can send the national guard to take it over completely.

So educated people AREN’T looking for jobs that egregiously violate everything law enforcement is supposed to be? Color me surprised.

But muh toxic masculine vigilante movies!

The greatest thing he ever did for the world was be so arrogant and insufferable that he took himself out of it. Now if only he had done it before he destroyed open hardware, customizable software, the open web, e-book pricing…

I hardly know them!

Yeah. I guess he’d be the expert.

Literally word for word the exact comment I came to make
