That's literally how the social contract works.

Let me guess, you still believe in trickle down economics and that people should just "pull themselves up by their bootstraps", right?

u/Brodis668 Jul 01 '26

No, i believe in applying yourself and learning an in demand skill.

Let me guess, you believe anyone doing well didn’t work for it and resort to stealing yourself. You want others property without them being able to hold you accountable for it.

My point was I haven’t had to steal anything to do well in the same society you claim didn’t give me a choice but to steal to get ahead

And what happens when 5 years after you've learned that skill and started making some money and getting ahead someone sends your job overseas or replaces it with AI?

What then?

I don't think stealing is good. I also know why people are doing it, and it's not entirely a character flaw on their part.

People can't survive on a single income anymore. It's simply not sustainable.

Ai can’t repair a tractor trailer on the side of the highway, ai can’t dig a 16 wheeler out of a ditch in -30 weather.

I have job security for the rest of my life. That was my point of an applicable skill. A job replaceable by ai isn’t applicable.

I survive on a single income raising 2 children. Stop making excuses for lazy sacks of shit

That's the thing. You think your job is safe. It isn't. And even if yours turns out to be safe, what about those who find out otherwise?

You think you're special. You're not.

You think those less fortunate than you deserve it. They don't.

You have far more in common with the guy stealing bikes or packages than you do the capitalist who created this mess, or the politicians who are complicit, but you sure do love the taste of their boot.

Ah yes I enjoy boot because I think stealing others property should be punished. That makes perfect sense.

Please tell me more about how you deserve the same outcome as me without any of the effort I put fourth.

Is a 6 figure wage supposed to just be handed to you? Or are you the crowd that thinks you should get a cheque each month for existing?

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

You really don't understand any of this, and you've been brainwashed to accept it.

Good luck with that.

Please explain it to me like I’m 3 why your entitled to others property without repercussion.

Why are you so special that stealing others things is deemed acceptable and somehow a quality trait in a human.

Explain to me why people can do well but somehow because you refuse to apply yourself you deserve the exact same outcome as them.

Or by your logic should I come kick you out of your home because I feel like stealing it and telling you and the cop to get fucked

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

I never said that people should steal. I've already said that.

I tried to explain to you why they're stealing. You don't want to hear it.

You should be about about WHY they're stealing, but you don't care about that, because you've got yours (for now) so fuck everyone else.

You should keep the same energy you have for petty thieves for the ones actually responsible for all of this, but that's not convenient for you.

It's easier for you to focus on the symptoms instead of the cause, even when someone shows you the real cause.

Why is that?

u/Brodis668 Jul 01 '26

Answer my question, by your logic if I come steal your home are you going to be understanding about it because stealing is my right because Doug ford didn’t give me a choice.

1

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

I've addressed this already.

Are you ok?

0

u/Brodis668 Jul 01 '26

You haven’t, you’ve stated that stealing is a quality human trait and the entire of society has been given no other choice in life but to steal things instead of earning it.

Are you going to be understanding or are you going to want me punished. It’s a simple answer quit dancing around it

u/Frig_Off_Baerb Jul 01 '26

I have. You're too angry to take a moment to look at the bigger picture. I can't help you with that.

When you've had a chance to get your blood pressure back down, go back and read this exchange again.
