So, let's start with a simpler question and see where this line of thought takes us: Given the asymmetry between the taxpayer and the special interest group, do you believe that a large, inveterate, democratic government will ever serve the interest of its citizens? If the citizens are losing, who is winning?
But, they said they were the good guys! (And then we wonder why votes for whoever stays out of his fucking pocketses the most)

Everything else is just bullshit feelgood rhetoric. Out my pocket, charlatan!

Sigh. I was hinting at the difference between inductive and deductive thought.

I imagine you have a rather high opinion of your intelligence, but you have utterly failed to understand even a single one of my arguments. Either you are too emotionally crippled by your desire to broadcast negativity over the Internet, intellectually lazy after a life of instagram and twitter, or just not as smart as you think you are. In any case, I hope you work it out.

Her entire political worldview is bent on positing self interest as the supposed altruistic aim of society. What do you expect?

I think he is a slightly smarter version of Wonkie. They snipe from the sidelines because they have no real positions, just a desire to spread their negativity. In contrast Feniin at least tries to say things.

I'm not sure what you mean by "positing self interest as the supposed altruistic aim of society".

When you platform issues as being for the greater good, leveraging white guilt to gather sympathy, and then you directly benefit from said program, that is disingenuously platforming on altruism, when in reality it is just self interest
