Did the corporate overlords spend a lot of money on the Democratic party in 2016 so that Bernie gets canned in favour of Hillary?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. If you think racing to the top produces inefficiency, racing to the bottom (Communism) produces even more, as evidenced by all the samples we have at this point.

Lol I was thinking the same thing.

I wouldn't scold someone for thinking it, its ok to have floating thoughts. Just don't double down on them and start arguments over the internet with strangers.


You are arguing technicalities, your interlocutor is arguing overarching patterns.

There are tons of sex workers that rake in money that even FAANG engineers will never see in 10 lives (e.g OF 'models'). I doubt much of society has any respect for them though.

What gave you that idea that there are tons of them? That's like saying some actors will make more than 10x a FAANG engineer. Sure some.will, but most who go into it will make much less. Based on stats from a OF model agency, less than 1% make more than 10,000 a month. [1].

I've heard that millions of girls wanting to get rich look up to those "OF models" as role models.

Pretty much in the same way that a significant number of people in tech who wants a good paying job looks up to people working for Zuckerberg.


I have more respect for only fans models then fellow software developers nowadays. At least only fans models produce something others find valuable. We don't provide anything valuable anymore.

I dont think OF models are some paragon of virtue but theyre leagues ahead of engineers who choose to work at Meta

I agree, what I'm arguing is that money != respect as the parent asserted.

I wish society let nihilistic bums like you die of starvation instead of indulging your bullshit.

Revisionist history at its finest.

Do you believe that farming technology, freeing up 95% of humans to not have to toil in fields all day, was only beneficial to shareholders?


Thing is that people don't want to be "freed up" from their comfortable, high-paying jobs. Because then they likely need to return to metaphorical toiling in the field.


You do if they're bullying you for not joining.


Just like the US is bullying them for let me check: dare to try perosnally having a bank account and do online payments.


I think those are the sactions; the US is upset the ICC put out arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. Regardless of what you think about Israel, it's easy to see how they might interpret the ICC's actions as a threat.


Yeah it surely is lack of imagination - not the fact that humans have evolved hundreds of thousands of years to survive in resource constrained environments.


For my friends everything; for my enemies, the law.
