Family died in Rockies after trying to live ‘off the grid,’ official says - Lemmy.world

So sad but at the same time LOfuckingL are people dumb!
They had a 14-year old kid with them. That poor kid didn’t deserve to have been led to his death because of the adults he had no choice but to depend on.
Are you more angry at the people trying to escape the crazy system than you are at the system that drove them out?
There is no “system” that drove them out. This was a choice they made. A bad one.
That’s just plain ignorant.
I’d love an explanation if you don’t mind.

There’s no “system.” Me: Gestures to everything.

…. That drove them out. You left that part out.
Oh, sure. There’s absolutely no reason for anybody to be dissatisfied by the current system. Everything is pretty much perfect!
You just love manufacturing arguments, don’t you?
Says the guy who’s trying to argue that there’s no global system that disenfranchises people.

Again, I never said there’s no system that disenfranchises people. You realize you’re saying this in respond to me accusing you of manufacturing arguments out of nothing.

What I said was, they were not forced by “the system” to do anything. Any more than you have been. Or do you live in the woods currently?

Who used the word “force?” The system is coercive and entropic. Work where you’re allowed until you die. You get paid what you are allotted. Your value is based on your job and your ability to earn. If you’re a woman or a minority, you’re second class. Police budgets grow and enforcement becomes more violent every year. Politicians and CEOs are working together to exploit your labor until you die early from chronic disease.

I didn’t think I had to break it down as if I was explaining to a child, but here we are. Now pretend like you don’t understand why she ran.

Okay, you’re clearly not smart enough to have this discuss with and I feel that continuing it any further would be taking advantage of you.

Enjoy your day. I hope you get better.

Yeah, I’m the dunce here. Dunning-Kruger Club, represent.
Good. Admitting you have a problem is half the battle. There’s hope.
