No it isn't. This is complete hyperbole.

No it isn't. This is complete hyperbole.
- GauntletWizard 10y agoThis is how modern society works (not that I think it was ever not the case). Many people have 'strong arguments' that 'fair' is defined by things that benefit themselves. Another large portion pays lip service to this by supporting "progressive" causes, while acting in precisely the ways they rail against. Libretarians are as guilty as progressives. While the stereotype of zero regulation is untrue, most would argue only for regulations that benefit them, and believe that regulations that detriment them are the one that are unfair. (As a defense of myself and my position - I do the same, but I also acknowledge that, and consider the fact that most people are arguing in their own self interest an important part of how we achieve 'fair') This is a sardonic and mean-spirited view, but it is a necessary devils advocate - Too much is done with 'hope', not strategy.
