You couldn’t even comprehend that I wasn’t criticising a person. Instead, I made a point illustrating that switching off from reddit didn’t do any good for the community. It really isn’t that great that instead of active discussion you stumble upon months-old threads.

I don’t know their area of research, but I’m already rooting for the puppy shredder machine!

You just replied to a two-month old post. What a booming community! Clearly, leaving reddit vitalized it so much.

Natural gingers are objectively inferior to dyied ones. First of all, they are ginger all over, and it’s not that cool if you ask me, second, their color fades with time and becomes just meh.

have phones? Or clothes?

the question is how much. When did you buy your last phone? A year ago? Two? I’m still rocking my nokia dumb phone I got like 15 years ago. Same with everything else. The consumption is orders of magnitude more, literally.

I wonder what would slaves or serfs would say about your record high inequality.

accusing them of “wanting too much”

It’s not accusations, it’s a statement of a fact. How many smartphones would an average westerner own in their life? How much clothes? All other useless “things” that nobody can live without? When europoors were starving and couldn’t afford living in Europe, they moved and colonised America and Siberia, maybe it’s time to think about moving to Venezuela or something where you’d definitely be able to afford a house and whatnot?

And on a slightly less vitriolic note, why blame corpos for inequality when you yourself vote for the officials who make the corpo dreams come true? I mean they do only what people allow them to do.

The real answer to that is, dear firstworlders, you want too much and you think you deserve it. For the entirety of history people lived in big families exactly because they couldn’t afford all the shit on their own, the couldn’t get more houses out of nowhere or easily get more land. The shithole countries live like that right now and nobody says I’m gonna stop reproducing because I can’t decide whether I want a steamdeck or like a child crib. Because of this mindset we do actually have the global warming, and no amount of banned (but not really) plastic straws will fix that.

You want infinite expansion of wealth? Go to Mars.

How can you say it’s free market if it’s literally mandatory? Call it tax, but it won’t even be paid to budget. Instead some private insurance companies would benefit from that. Yay legislators?
