Everything except the last sentence is factually and ethically incorrect.

Do people think that forcing children to give birth isn’t violence? That having the bank seize your house isn’t violence?

Imagine the privileged delusion that you’re above all that — that you’ve transcended the zombie horde of apocalyptic subhumanity clutching at your ankles, literally trying to rob your children, to poison them, to end all life on earth. The treacherous religious maniacs, the ignoramuses, the money-hungry, fashion-obsessed, sports-car-maniacal narcissists who would eat a puppy alive for a Rolex. That these orc-like creatures aren’t here to torment and torture and pillage.

But sure. Let’s not stoop to their level by struggling too much as they eat us alive.

Found the Trump supporter.

Why? Get him to pick an awesome VP and then kick the bucket. Sounds awesome.

The NSA isn’t in charge of this shit.

Psychopathy is shockingly common. Technically, only 5% of people are full-blown psychopaths, but like all brain disorders it’s a spectrum, and everyone falls somewhere on that spectrum. At least 30% of the population exhibits sub-diagnostic psychopathic traits, such as an indifference to lying or a lack of moral compunction.

What people don’t understand about psychopathy is that it presents as an indifference (or an unresponsiveness) to empirical and normative facts. That is why psychopaths just do whatever feels good (which might include tormenting others), why they might be obsessed with money or power other pleasure-oriented goals.

I’m willing to bet we could get open source software that works way better.

Likewise, if Microsoft stopped making Windows and everyone had to switch to something open source, the quality of personal computing would go through the roof.

If a company makes 10 billion dollars, they should be able to hire more people or pay everyone more. Instead that money is siphoned by unemployed bums who have absolutely nothing to do with the company - the “investors.”

If this system weren’t already in place, we would consider it completely comical.

Let them get sick and die, what is the issue?

Shame. Since Covid I’ve become a huge fan of pandemics.

The “author” is citing a study. Idk why you’d indict the study because the media that is making you aware of the existence of said study is behind a paywall. Bizarre reasoning.
