All of your arguments lack empathy.

“I work longer than 8 hours and sometimes on weekends.”

You show a level of self-awareness that is very rare in comment sections. However, calling out people in the greys is a bit of elitist move. I, for one, am proud I don’t have the post-gawker sites seal-of-approval.

You’re welcome. I wish their was a way to private message on Kinja. But I just want to say, it is people like you who give me hope when I feel like all is lost and we are doomed.

All of your arguments are based on the premise of “competition is better than cooperation”. Some of us have empathy and don’t see everything in terms of winning and losing.

“I’m not trying to change your mind, just point out to other impressionable minds that you are wrong.”

I like you. You’re sassy with your logic and facts!

You seem to have got Max’s number. Sociopathic. Prizing the individual at the expense of the group. Supporting competition over cooperation.

If you believe that you live in a made-up world that fits your preexisting ideals. Out here in the real world, it doesn’t work like that.

That slate article you linked was posted DEC. 22 2014. A LOT has changed since then. 

Nice take-down. I bet he cites Friedman or Hayek. Both rich, white, men. And both dead. As is their philosophies. Though they seem to come back as zombies.

Counterpoint: 8 hour work day, child-labor laws, weekends off, minimum wage, health care.

Supply-side Milton Friedman bullshit.

You are really dumb.

“Over-reacting about everything someone says or does, creating controversy over silly innocuous things such as what I choose to wear or not wear, is not moving us forward. It’s creating silly distractions from real issues.”

I haven’t read about many multiple-stabbing fatalities in American schools, have you?

How about we blame the real issue: GUNS.

Or, you know, we can stop selling guns and ammunition.

You’re enjoying being an idiot for all to see?
