this is an argument of pro nobless oblige vs pure meritocrecy

No it does not.

Jesus Christ.

Sure it does

I want a job, I get the job

Benefits are tangible and immediate

exactly

Stop arguing with Mockingbird. He's right.

Yes, that's great and many people did get their jobs that way nowadays.

Look at what it has done for us.

then we need to argue with him so strongly its clear his argumetn can witstand all critisism

Immediate Gratification = What Works in Democracy

Take the corn out of your ears, people.

Why should someone in a cushy job care?

Because it's the right thing to do.

Of course, once everyone starts cheating, there is no reason for you to play fair anymore.

😐

"the truth has been said, everone shut up now" non ironicly

oof

They disagree. What now?

Oh sorry, they disagree?

```Yes, that's great and many people did get their jobs that way nowadays.

who is *us* 🤔

No, it's not just the right thing to do. It's also better for you.

We have explanations, and they do not.

You can be rationally selfish about it. Ayn Rand wrote wonderful books about this.

We can forecast everything bad that will happen.

Their explanation is they like their job and don't see an issue with it

Demonstrable evidence.

You have to convince them to come to your side

If everybody plays by the rules of a good game, everybody will win.

It is not a zero sum game.

if a fly thought up the sun centered solar system before any man, he would still be right, even if he coulnt explain it

Before arguments based on your axioms will work

"The business could be doing better"

Nobody trusts everyone to play fair

If enough people start cheating, everybody has to start cheating to keep up.

That's the terrible thing about htis.

"Hey did you see what happened to Marvel?"

"Specifically the comics?"

And why would I care if the business could be doing better if it doing better means I lose my job?

this is why buisnisses should pay no tax at all, because then they pay the same tax as the big buisnesses

Let my community cheat and that's all I care about.

I wish they would teach more conservative literature in school ...

More Thomas Sowell, less Karl Marx.
