The question on the survey was
"We need larger income differences as incentives for individual effort" vs “Incomes should be made more equal.”
But the ridiculously biased title pretends that people who picked the first option just want income inequality for no good reason, and are somehow brainwashed by neoliberal institutions.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoHeadline: nazis want to kill minorities Comment: the actual question was: 'We need to kill minorities to make more living space for our people' But the ridicilously biased title pretends thay people who picked the first option just want death for no good reason, and are somehow brainwashed by nazi institutions! Every action ever has some reasoning behind it, from you buying coffee to Russia's invasion to Hitler's genocide - Lebensraum. The propaganda succeeds when false reasoning has been accepted without questioning it
- ramblerman 4y agoStraight to Nazis huh... Context matters. People might support a free market where they can excel and see their hard work rewarded. That isn't quite the same as wanting income equality. It's a 2nd order effect of the first desire.
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoThats the point i was illustrating - the argument 'people have their reasons' is not a good one. Also is hard work rewarded when top 3 predictora of sucess are family wealth, school and connections? You want a real free market, set 100% inheritance tax. You could probably abolish all other taxes with it.
