But the rest of the comment supports the first part, which you seem to agree with.
Plus, "Jacobin whinging", seriously? Advocating for a living wage is "Jacobin" now?
- haberman 8y agoI regret that my point may not have come across. I don't actually believe in pejoratively labeling any good-faith argument, and I would not actually use a label like "Jacobin whinging" in earnest. My point is: labeling something is not the same as refuting it.

- memling 8y agoYou have an absolutely terrible assessment of the Internet.
