What does this even mean, I grew up in south fl and many of my friends moved to new York, San Fran, Boston, so... Yes? Arent u a lawyer in NYC? Guessing u do too?

I grew up in south fl

really?!

(maybe I asked you already)

Isn't like half of the United States in the global 1%? And also isn't that term kind of meaningless without accounting for cost of living?

I am a lawyer in NYC and my household does not earn anything close to $420K and neither do most of my friends afaik.

Broward bb

Xp 'isn't half the US...' yes that is my point!

So basically almost no one in the US has the right to have anything to say about poverty or class because they're not living off potatoes?

I think that was my uncool belief stated upthread.

They don't have the right to prescribe solutions for other ppl that they themselves don't/wouldn't abide by, is more how I see it

Like if yr willing to make excuses for not being more generous to other ppl bc 'cost of living' isn't that the same as saying I can't give u a raise bc 'cost of operating the thing that provides yr (and many other ppls) living'?

what are you talking about dude

Doesn't concern u, don't worry about it.

global 1% I MEANT

no the math still doesn't work out that way sorry

It seems kind of obvious that "the rich" in any kind of leftist critique means capitalists, not people earning $34,000 and therefore materially better off than the world's extreme poor. It also seems obvious that you can still criticize a system even if there is no way to avoid being part of it. IDK why I am bothering with this though.

Sorry for getting too real conservative for the joke conservative thread, carry on. Men's sports! rap =cRap ! Lol

IDK why I am bothering with this though

indeed

messageboards and mobile devices have turned people into antisocial narcissists

also, zombies

did you know that message boards aren't actually that popular anymore?

yeah, but the damage is done, see the last 9000 threads.

how do you manage to stay unaffected given all the time you've spent on here Morbs?

messageboards and mobile devices have turned people into antisocial narcissists

is this some kind of confession

first of all, i interpreted this thread as a safe space to air unpopular opinions without some smartass jumping down yr throat, so ease off sleepi or no one else will give up the goods

second of all, even a remotely sympathetic reading of sleepingbags og post would make it clear he's not talking about anyone living in america and making 34,000$, ya dick. gonna copy paste it again:

liberalism as many of my friends practice it is like a shitty religion that i want no part of.

they think of other people as needing to be saved, by them.
they make penance with speech acts, not real action.
they live their lives in constant guilt.
they live in cities that are only differentiated from other cities by being huge destinations for wealth, then they disavow that wealth while continuing to partake in the lifestyle it provides.
they blame rich people for all the evils of the world while ignoring that they are the 1%.
they prescribe how other people should be living their own lives.
they say things that have no meaning other than to reveal to others that they are members in this very sensitive club of good people.
it's nothing but performative.

This really true? I thought things had just kind of migrated to reddit.

I don't think many people use ilx style message boards, or at least %-of-the-internet-doing-this is lower, the total amount out there is still probably pretty high. but fb groups and reddit boards aren't that much different, just worse for extended conversations.

xp. oh yeah I guess reddit is a messageboard :(

but like younger people i talk to just seem to use snapchat, whatsapp, tumblr, twitter, instagram, etc.

i hate myself; if you ppl were the slightest bit observant you'd have learned that by now.

but you're not.

i also love myself

...because with zero mobile devices, i'm still half the cretin Shakey is.

I only hold cool conservative beliefs

i've met the people sleepingbag has described in los angeles quite often, except that i didn't know if they were part of the 1%, because i was not privy to such info

thing with arguments in general and ilxors is that if you quantify something -- even done offhandedly -- they will jump on you to try to prove it and will put it in a different context if they don't agree with you

it'd be cool if we didn't agree and would still be like 'oh ya we can agree to disagree but have you heard that new album by miley cyrus'

vegans who use cocaine are some of the worst hypocrites

^^^^^

tho this doesn't strike me as really all that...conservative

mine would probably be something something using social/gov't resources for conserving wilderness is a good thing something something

weird coalition of trump and ghost of rob ford high-fiving moral upper hands by endorsing locally sourced farm-to-table cocaine

guys just literally dont ever do cocaine unless you are comfortable with the fact that ppl's heads got cut off in order for you to talk too loud at a party about your stupid ideas

yeah but they were humans and have original sin, animals have no sin

that's speciesist https://forums.nexusmods.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/armscrossed.gif

Meritocracy is a fake dream and means testing matters

I don't know how to reconcile those ideas though

meritocracy is a funny fake idea like utopia and both mean nowhere

abortion makes me sad
