Because that's not a benefit. You just described the government taking more money from me.
Nothing is actually improved in my life, or your life, or anyone's life.
People have gotten so brainwashed that they're legitimately arguing that what's good for them doesn't matter. What matters is how many random people they don't know they manage to hurt.
Unbelievable.
- parineum 1y agoIt's not a benefit to you but there are people who believe it is. > Nothing is actually improved in my life, or your life, or anyone's life. How arrogant. It's not up to you to decide what improves people's lives. That there are people who are so unsympathetic to others makes my life worse. It upsets me, genuinely. It gives me very little hope that there will be an end to the infectious othering being promulgated by politics.
- array_key_first 1y agoBelieving something is a benefit and something actually benefiting you are a different thing. You can believe anything. You can believe the Earth is flat, I don't care. > How arrogant. It's not up to you to decide what improves people's lives. You're right, it's not up to me. Its up to reality. Things getting worse for other people don't improve your life. That's not an opinion. That's not something I made up. That's just how the world works. Also, sympathetic? Really? You want me to be sympathetic of you being not sympathetic? How short sighted and downright delusional do you have to be to not see the contraction in that? Obviously a lack of sympathy isn't a position that deserves sympathy. Otherwise, what the fuck are we doing here?
