Stating that the paragraph exists doesn’t really convince me… are there any specific sentences you can point at, and explain why they imply that rich = stupid and poor = smart? Seems to me they’re just saying that they have the privilege to choose to be stupid, not that being rich means they are stupid.
What you described is the division of labour, which has nothing to do with what OP is talking about. Of course woodcutters, generally speaking, don’t need to know quantum mechanics; of course engineers aren’t generally well versed in military history, etc. But “people generally only know their chosen subjects in detail” isn’t groundbreaking, nor is it what OP said.
No correlation was mentioned
That’s not a privilege, that’s a punishment, whether they recognise it or not
What do you mean by that?
Depends what you mean by “us”
So, this is where it all went wrong. For some reason, you thought that “ignorant and insensitive” were being directed at your reply to my comment, and not to the comment I was originally responding to. Perhaps you forgot that my original comment was a reply to someone else? Either that or you’ve been trolling the whole time.
Also, this marks the moment where you change the subject away from whether that comment was insensitive (probably because you forgot about that comment, or wanted to pretend you had), and towards discussing whether OP made any demands, which was never an issue on my mind. Damn fine trolling work, I must say, keeping me distracted for so long.
Thanks I guess?
“Wanting to be offended” is a myth perpetuated by people who want to be offensive. Nobody “wants” to be offended. Offence is a genuine emotional reaction, is automatic, and is unpleasant. Cut that bullshit out.
Imagine messing up halfway through a terrible rape scene
We’re always seeing the sun from the side
Don’t bother, seems people just aren’t ready to be told they’re being insensitive
The text of the original post demonstrably does not contain the phrase you attribute to it. And i have provided evidence of the comment to which I was referring, which is not your own. There is no further proof necessary; and you yourself have even quoted that same post, which even in your attempt, still did not contain the phrase you claim. Only your own comment did.
You have not provided any evidence which supports your claims. Your quotes only prove my point: the OP did not request for this to stop, just stated that they “hate” it.
Further, I even provided reasoning by way of example: my hatred of soap operas and Tesla not motivating a wish for their destruction.
What more do you want? Like I’ve already said, if i misunderstood, then correct me. You have failed to do so.
This really doesn’t need to go as far as it has. You never even needed to reply to me, because you were off topic and not saying anything relevant to my point, which is that their comment was off base.
No, that’s not my point, that’s just you refusing to see my point. Please, if you’re going to contradict me, provide evidence or sound reasoning. Prove that I misunderstood. I have provided proof for my points. You have neglected that duty.
This wasn’t you. Like I said. You have jumped in and added nothing of value to the conversation.
Yes, I am standing up for OP. I am standing against the “it’s just marketing” idea. The “they should stop” idea was uttered by you, not by OP. You can hate something without demanding for it to stop: I hate soap operas, but don’t demand they stop. I hate Tesla, but don’t demand they should shut down.
If I have misinterpreted OP, then quote where they clearly and unequivocally demanded for it to stop, or where they stated that it was more than just marketing.
There’s no way you actually believe I’m a bot. You’re just running away from the conversation.
Now, look:
THIS is the comment I responded to. Observe how it is entirely unadorned by YOUR username. This is the comment I took issue with. You came after. The actual issue with what you said was that you entirely ignored the point of the OP, and what I said, to support the “it’s just marketing” idea, which belittles OP’s pain.
OP just wanted to vent, not make suggestions for corporations.
Stop saying that!!! I’m not a fucking bot!! I am a human being with thoughts and feelings and autism, and i am far too fucking sick of being called a robot my entire fucking life. I deserve respect and dignity, not to be treated like a defective toaster.
I will not be bullied for standing up for another person. Never. I will not back down just because you tried to throw your weight around and oppress me.
It doesn’t say being poor makes you smarter, just that it strongly incentivises you to smarten up, or else your life will be much harder
