I'm sure you don't have time for this; none of us strugglers do. Gotta do it anyway though-- can't save the republic without saving a few voters. Please recognize that the culture we've inherited comes with a lot of liberal values and also massive amount of hypocrisy-- strong values loosely held if you like; and that liberal whiners necessary to align those values with actions in a real nation. Making money is the bottom line.. unless you're approaching a failed state; then all of a sudden avoiding instability is the bottom line. Spitting on someone who is trying to gently and sensitively remind you that we are starting to look a little more like a failed state... seems really disrespectful of the process that got us here.
- motohagiography 5y agoI can't quite parse this. What does this mean? Not sure whether anyone has asked for this gentle sensitivity, that we are somehow obliged to the author for it, or that we should sustain their pretenses. My comment was to assert that in spite of the author's contortions, their concern for others seemed self-interested, aspirational, and insincere.
