because yours is a manipulative false dichotomy as demonstrated by the second question.
- hackinthebochs 4y agoStated more realistically, what will those people do in the mean time while we all wait for the economic structure of the world to reorient itself towards profit sharing? How long are they expected to wait?
- guerrilla 4y agoThe economic structure doesn't need to change for these companies to act as if it had, nor for these people to take these jobs if neither thing happens. All three things can be true at the same time. As I said, it was a false dichotomy. That's key to understanding the situation.
- hackinthebochs 4y agoAnd how do you expect to effect such a change? Is it just a matter of generating sufficient outrage in your mind? Why should these people be forced to wait and suffer while you and your ilk write think pieces about silicon valley? This is the problem with ideas like yours, there is no practical plan on offer to create the reality you are advocating for. Yet, you expect these people who are suffering right now to just sit tight. Its narcissism.
- ClumsyPilot 4y ago> there is no practical plan on offer to create the reality you are advocating for...Its narcissism. Let's try this with another Idea: Person A - I am protesting to end slavery / Fix climate change / stop cops killing people for being black or poor Person B - You have no detailed plan how to achieve this, you are a narcissist!
- hackinthebochs 4y agoThe obvious difference is that (A)'s implementation doesn't also require stopping doing some further X, thereby causing suffering among vulnerable people right now. I'm not sure how you missed that.
