No, it is a "haha i got you!". You want the US to be like the rest of the world (or specifically Australia) and yet you came to the US because the US is unique in providing extremely high paying comfortable and interesting jobs. This type of environment is possible because that's what the US optimizes for, at the detriment of class equality. You're a hypocrite, specifically one that calls out people's alleged wealth when you came here to amass your own. Poetic given the thread we are in.
- lordnacho 5y agoLet me remind you that being a hypocrite does not make one wrong. If I smoke and I tell you smoking causes cancer, will you disbelieve me? It's actually a strange form of argument from authority: you don't follow your own rule, and I believe your honest self that I think you're showing by not following it. If anything it should tell you something that a guy who is milking the system says the system is broken. That at least is a first hand witness.
- vogt 5y agoWell put. Exactly what I was getting at.
