while you were with them, did you lose empathy?

like, "oh, these people are a bunch of bums who do nothing but complain and don't bother trying?"

ah

smart

Yeah, but thats an in the moment emotional reaction. Like, everyone gets pissy with certain groups at moments. We tend to bundle those moments into a broad opinion when talking outside of the event though.

So the incidents were numerous enough to colour your broader perspective?

can we take a moment to appreciate this album artwork

polish libertarian band

UK Homeless better class of Homeless

shoulda just said because I have a mouth infection

I just get 30 min fairly polite conversations about how shit their life is going

I had a friend who would brag about how easy it was to get food stamps.

How he would lie on the forms.

lol

I'm still so confused over some of the friendships I've made. Just had a really tough conversation today with my buddy up in Tacoma who is on that whole Anti-American wagon.

Honestly don't know if I can stay friends with him. Really want to because he's a hilarious guy and a great musician but some of the shit believes is just so historically ignorant.

@M4Gunner why still? You mean as in they don't understand why they are still expected to apply for jobs?

yeah same

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] I'm pretty anti-yank. Whats he believe?

if my old friends knew I'd considered becoming a cop they'd be like "WUAGH?"

He believes America is evil and the big evil corporations just earned their wealth by stealing it and extorting the rest of the world. He doesn't believe me when I say the free market has lifted half the world out of abject poverty, or that today's living standards are much better than they were before.

nah man he's stubborn

I wish

I've tried having conversations about Jordan Peterson and others but he doesn't give a shit.

Hi @Thomas the Sowell Train [USA]

yeah, but already I'm going to show my secret leftie mind, pretty much every attempt to restrict abuse of welfare just harms legitimate users, as illegitimate ones have the time and energy to y' know, learn how to get around it.

He thinks I'm the naive one because I take interest in the ideas of intellectuals.
