Hey, you. You’re finally awake.

A dot point list would have made this more readable. Just saying.

How people can walk out of a university with degrees and not understand how all areas of knowledge contribute towards each other and link together in ways that are not immediately obvious astounds me.

I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

People on Lemmy (and the tech community) also skew heavily to tech industries so I’m not surprised they are shocked and disagree that saying you work for Microsoft is a bad thing.

Yes, yes, yes, no.

If your point is that I engage in immoral practices; of course I do.

That wasn’t my initial argument though.

As I have said in another comment, if I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work killing people in a foreign country because I would realise that makes me a hypocrite.

In the same way I wouldn’t be vegan, work for an abattoir and complain to my CEO that killing animals is wrong.

Is the fact that you’re so defensive over my comment not an indication for you to do a little introspection?

You can’t claim the moral high ground if you’re enabling the very thing you’re complaining about.

I don’t comprehend why people find this controversial other than that they may be uncomfortable with their own choices and dislike when some random on the internet has pointed it out to them.

If I worked for Microsoft I wouldn’t wear a shirt complaining about my work being used to kill kids because I would have the presence of mind to realise that I would be a hypocrite if I did that.

I took the hit to my overall earnings by not working for a corporation that kills the planet/tramples on workers rights/engages in war crimes.

Have you?

Imagine thinking you have any moral high ground but work for a massive corporation.

High interest saving account for saving up to buy things like this.

It’s slower but the best way to basically guarantee you will have the money available at a future point when you need to buy the car.

All olives are green (at some point) lol.

Come on people the internet is right there and you can check this kind of stuff.

The lunacy part is posting this to LinkedIn rather than discussing in private with a therapist.

Or you know, we could plant trees…the original carbon capture device.

Well done to you for recognising you need to hand it over before death gripping the communities into obscurity.

Nothing backs US currency?

I’d argue the US military backs the US dollar.

I’m an active union organiser and volunteer emergency service worker.

My day job is responsible for helping people with extremely disadvantaged backgrounds.

I don’t know if this is something to be proud of tbh.

You’re basically saying ‘my life is secure; fuck everybody else that hasn’t got what I have’.

I’m glad you built a good base for yourself, now help lift up others. It doesn’t stop sucking for everyone else just because you check out.

IMO you have the obligation to create the environment that allows what you have (an existence without worry for politics) for everyone.

What kind of diversity of thought are you looking for?

Could you give an example?

Is there an intellectually honest point of view that Donald Trump isn’t a fascist?
