"Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company."
We're already in the late stages already, where most of the good posters have left and the remainder largely have no comprehension of subtlety, who think that low-effort shitposting is funny just because of the irony.

Not sure if you realise, but when I said 'intellectual shitposting' I was being facetious.

Only California could possibly shoot themselves in the foot like this. A couple of months ago, everybody voted yes on Proposition V (even though shop owners told them not to), a horrible tax measure where they'd charge you one cent per ounce for sodas. Well, guess what these liberal fucks forgot? Most lower-class families rely on soda. So yeah, the crusade against Big Soda went well, but poor people got fucked over because of it. Great jobs, liberals.B1rd wrote:

Soda is cheaper than bottled water in a lot of areas. Tap water comes from many different sources and it's usually the really affluent neighborhoods who get a good source, not the poorer cities or towns. Buying GOOD water filters can also be expensive.
What I'm trying to say is, when people voted for Proposition V, they didn't think about who was REALLY going to be affected by it.
Those people should have voted against it then, easy. This is literally how democracy works
But they didn't! And lower-class people usually don't go out to vote because most of them are already at work during voting hours. That's the problem. They didn't consider the actual consequences. Hell, there were more advertisements against this proposition than positive ones, and yet people still voted for it, and those advertisements explained in detail how the proposition would be bad for shop owners and lower-class people. That's what baffles me. Did they just vote without thinking twice about it?Mahogany wrote:

Ofc not always, but the 99% of homeless I see in NYC are druggies who can't do anything better with their life. It will be nice if they were cared for, but knowing they want nothing but that smoke or whatever shit they are on makes it more pitiful.

My point was: Most people understand the very intuitive truth that it's harder to create a change when you have little work with. When you're given little, it's harder to make it more, this applies to money and education likewise. Blaming uneducated people 100% for making uneducated choices seems a but iffy to me, just like it's strange to blame poor people 100% for staying poor.
Also your view on homeless people seems a bit extreme, abraker. But thats for another time i guess
Well... I can honestly say some hardworking people end up just terribly poor. My mom is one of those examples. She's a Laotian refugee. Even when going to school, I couldn't really afford things like school supplies and things of the like but I was very happy that our community was able to help me. In high school, I did a few sports and when I realized I was good at them, I wanted to join the team but my mom couldn't afford it. I picked up a few jobs here and there to help her.
But I'm happy because she now takes care of my grandfather and gets paid for it so she's been better off.

Did they go to good schools and still come out dumb as shit? Then sure.
Did they have no good options for schools, and were forced to go to a terrible one that couldn't teach properly? Then it's not their fault.

I can't agree that it's often the government, though that depends where you look.

My mom migrated to the US from where she was an economist. While she had a masters level education, it meant nothing here. So she had to start over, but she came with no money, so getting a degree was out of the question. There was a bit hardship the first 10 years, but now we have a house and doing pretty well. Can we do better? I think so, but that's effort she wants to leave to me and my sister.Hika wrote:

Also there is an interesting case with someone I know who is studying to become an accountant. When I asked why not something higher up, he just said he's fine with just being an accountant. Idk if that view has changed, but it does bother me a bit when people don't think to aim higher up.

Also, how does someone put in effort to change their situation if they lack the necessary knowledge? Education is a requirement for an empowered populace: Those less fortunate are also the ones who incidentally have the least power to change their situation. This is why the use of social and education programmes to help these people are essential, and beneficial to everyone.
You are are right, you can have a reasonable quality of life without aiming higher, but that depends on one's perspective.Mahogany wrote:

Unless you are in an unfortunate dictatorship that is ready to execute you for knowing anything but it's culture, there is almost certainly a way to get the knowledge. Be it the library or the internet, though even in extreme cases, if there is a will then there is away. Why do I hear a story about some African child in a secluded village learning some shit and makes something with that knowledge to become a local hero while I have all the knowledge a foot away from me and instead I am stuck playing these stupid osu! minigames instead?
But those that are in those unfortunate dictatorship... yea there is no single will that can help
Soft drinks are pretty much poison. But I've never been one to force people from making their own lifestyle choice. It wouldn't be the first time that liberals have made policy for "moral good" while creating disastrous consequences.
Now about the poor. That's an interesting topic. Going to some places on Reddit, you have all these left-wing people who think that there is some rich vs poor dichotomy, that the conservative parties who are full of rich people who want to profit at the poor people's expense. Basically socialist lite. Funny that the majority of these left wingers are college educated middle class, and they think any poor people are vote right are 'voting against their own interests', in the typical condescending attitude they have where they think only they know what is right for everyone.
People being poor is partly their own fault, partly the fault of their situation. One of the biggest factor keeping people poor is welfare. Simply put, if people get money for doing nothing, they are not incentivised to work lots and give up all their free time for only slightly better living standards. Most poor people do not work many hours [1] [2]. And like abraker says, lots of the poor are druggies, no good people where it's entirely their fault. If you actually go to low-income neighborhoods, you will see this. Lots of people have the opportunity, few people use that opportunity. In the end, the only thing that can get people out of poverty is the people themselves, with hard work and determination. And lots of welfare and social programs are counter-productive for this.
Of course one of the factors of poverty is the labour market, as a lot of people can't find full time work even though they want to. One of the solutions for this is deregulation of the working environment and reduction of the minimum wage, to get rid of the artificial barrier to finding work. Countries in the EU without minimum wage laws have about a 33% smaller unemployment rate than those that do [3].

Simply statistically speaking, most won't amount to anything like that without having an easy route to acquiring the education. It should not be so hard for these people in the first place.

Welfare, and not poor wages are the reason?
If somebody doesn't get paid well for work, what's the point in working? There, point completely reversed. Hence why it's necessary for regulations on minimum wage and such, which you endlessly protest against.
This is the only point in that paragraph that sticks out like a sore thumb. Don't mind the fact without it their life is put in danger, but you are implying that people should fend for themselves. You are implying somebody with no money will not be able to survive. That is so wrong. Even if the person is homeless, you don't want them dying on the streets. Moreover, you don't want them to be a carrier of some undiagnosed disease that may have implications for the rest of the population.B1rd wrote:

Are you done beating up the strawman you created? I mean, I was only talking about the effect welfare has, it's a bit early to pull the 'dying on the streets' card.
See? Can't stand opposing viewpoints.
You went towards a bit extreme part of the spectrum. Yea majority can't help themselves and there is little point in helping if they are not cooperating, but think a little about what an undiagnosed group of people can bring to the rest of the population. You have to understand the ones that cannot be helped to make sure everybody else can be helped before they go into a state they cannot be helped.B1rd wrote:

We need welfare because those that cannot afford it will spread their disease to the rest of the population. Additionally, it's worth learning how to prevent people from becoming those that cannot be helped.B1rd wrote:

An argument against yours. Looks like you are so far in one side that you can't comprehend anything else and dismiss it as ridiculous. Try to understand that paying that programs are needed to ensure that society doesn't destroy itself due to the lack of ability to sustain itself. There is also a similarity between developed countries helping third world countries and the government's helping its poor. It ensures the societal development where otherwise there would not be any.B1rd wrote:

Rest assured, if I could understand what your argument was I would respond to it. But when you start talking about unspecified diseases infecting the population, "they who cannot be helped", I have no idea what you're talking about, much less how it is related to welfare. And now you're accusing me of partisan bias out of nowhere.
