I can argue with the points but I think something like go fuck yourself seems more appropriate in this particular case.

  Not gonna lie, I stopped reading as soon as I saw them describing moral philosophy "in economic terms"... sounds like I made the right call, lol.

    If you had continued reading, you would have seen that the author opposes punishing families and is using this as an example case for a philosophical argument.

      > the author opposes punishing families I have to read to learn that ? I’d better save my time and assume the same thing

      Yes, and you'd also learn what the author actually believes: that people who make others suffer should be made to suffer equally, even if doing so does not serve as a deterrent and leads to no useful or positive outcomes. I think "go fuck yourself" is still the correct response to this essay.

        That were exactly my thoughts.

        That response is more reasonable. I would put it more politely, but I agree on the substance.
