  Nope! You can actually find out what I do for work pretty easily tho because it’s all open source and I use the same handle. Edit: please donate the proceeds of your bet loss to victims of the earthquakes in Türkiye.

  “He who is not a républicain at twenty compels one to doubt the generosity of his heart; but he who, after thirty, persists, compels one to doubt the soundness of his mind.”

    I really dislike this quote. It always comes across like it's designed to ease greedy people of their guilt for moving to the right as they earn more money. To me, being sound of mind is wanting everyone to have what you have, or at least an equal shot of getting there from wherever they had the roll of the dice of being born.

      Not to agree or disagree with the quote itself, I’m simply giving a possible explanation for why the commenter may have changed their mind.

      Well sure, it’s “sound of mind” to you because that’s your political view. To people on the right it’s just completely naive. The first half is mathematically impossible and the second half is so wishy washy that it leaves room for everyone to claim they were born further back in one aspect or another on the proverbial board.

        > it leaves room for everyone to claim they were born further back in one aspect or another on the proverbial board. Because generosity is exploitable, it's better to exploit.

        Because generosity is exploitable, it deserves examination for integrity. That's a different way to phrase it that avoids your strawman.

      Reminds me of a great 30 rock joke, being fiscally liberal and socially conservative. Politics is really just dividing up the shared resources, which is the root of that joke. Who cares about politics and doesn’t care about the resources part? I guess after 30 people forget how to share per that quote. Never happened to me though. Personally I don’t even think it’s accurate, in my life I’ve never seen people swing from generous to… let’s just say “not” The people who were always like that a little got more so.

  Basically… I accepted the premise that the state probably has a necessary role in any process that could lead towards a stateless and classless society, or even in any process which could intervene in regressions from that goal. I don’t want to get more into that here because there be many dragons. But I’m easy to contact if you want :)
