  • What’s literally traumatizing are the scumbag sites that wait a little bit before showing you an email popup.

    Like, I’ll be reading something and then BLAM! I’m immediately taken out of my focus and have to, for the 1 billionth time (and counting!), refuse to give them an email address.

    Fuck everyone who encourages this bullshit. Fuck everyone who actually gives them emails. It’s likely an extremely low percentage of users, but that’s all that it takes to ruin things for the rest of us.

    Scumbag sites like that are actively contributing to lowering everyone’s standards and making us get used to a ‘new normal.’



  • You’re part of the problem that increases the disparity in wealth, yet you have the audacity to attack people who criticize you for it.

    You’re entitled. You’re greedy. You’re a proud consumer. Instead of getting mad at me for point out these facts, you should start to value different things so you’re no longer part of the problem.

    You accuse me of not seeing nuance, but turn around and do the same yourself.

    I bet that sounded nice in your head, but it doesn’t really hold any relevance here.


  • See, that’s the problem. You people think it’s all-or-nothing. You never consider those who have less and feel like you should get more before they get more.

    The mere idea of spreading out and improving areas to increase the supply of high quality living spaces is not something you would support. You only support the idea of building up, not out.

    If that town of 3000 isn’t “good enough” for you, then why should you get more before them? Huh? What are you doing that makes you worthy of it? Oh yeah, that’s your entitlement kicking in. Thanks for proving me right.

    You’re part of the problem. And you get mad at me for calling you out on it.


  • Not really. If we’re living at or below a standard that is attainable for us all, then we’re not part of the problem.

    We don’t have to go off into the woods or subsistence farm. That’s a distraction put by the ruling class for useful idiots to believe so they think it’s all-or-nothing.

    Magnitude matters. Just because you have more doesn’t mean you need to spend more, and that’s what the people you’re defending are doing.

    That said, I live a very modest life in a very modest area. I could spend more, if I wanted to. I could make more if I took more advantage of others. I choose not to because that would make me part of the culture we should be trying to change.

    Have you heard of supply and demand?

    This is where your entitlement kicks in. You think that you should magically get access to high-value, low-supply properties before the people living in the areas you deem “not good enough” for you. You already have more than the people living in these areas, yet you think you deserve even more before them.

    Greed. Entitlement. Consumerism. Name three bigger pillars of the modern liberal. (and don’t say empathy, you people care more about your money and social status than actually helping others.)

    And you’re going to get mad at anyone who calls it out.
