Context is king... gp comment: > "According to adherents of this belief system, poverty is a symptom of laziness, full stop, and government can do nothing, and more importantly must not." So I think what M_Grey was probably getting at when they said, "It really is the philosophy of the exceedingly short-sighted, arrogant, or just plain uneducated" we can believe it to be in the context of a libertarian who believes, "[...] poverty is a symptom of laziness [...]". So to just fully concatenate that: Libertarians who believe that poverty is a symptom of laziness and government can and should do nothing must be exceedingly short-sighted, arrogant, or plain uneducated. Or maybe I'm contextualizing too much? Either way, it hardly seems the comment thread worthy of trying to turn people's words back on them.
