You are doing a strawman's fallacy.

I didn't defend what you are trying to counter argue.

How about humans relationship to every other creature on the planet? It is either exploited, very cute or culled.

Lol and if they went to seek that better life nothing would be produced... Ive heard that logic from wealthy people and it confuses me. We need labourers to produce literally everything. If Napoleon was stuck subsistence living, or any other historical figure, because no one would work in teams to make bread or build walls or host government and all acted like individuals and started their one man businesses they would achieve nothing.

Rocks can only be piled higher by widening the base. All societies are pyramidal in nature. In todays world folks are drilling into the base to get sand to build their own little spires to their own little peaks. Without the base however they cannot achieve anything and if they drill too much the structure collapses. Its also not just a metaphore but happens occasionally to civilizations and is a warning.

Ling views of archaeological history show as people become well fed they have time and energy to invent things like pottery or bows. When famines are bad enough most other jobs are abandonned for subsistence living. Squeeze people too hard out of a sense of self worth and the tower falls.

We exist as a collective. I cannot do my job if the people who build my tools do their job and they cannot do their job if their food sources dont work. Every society is centered around agriculture or is held at the mercy of agricultural imports.

Nobody wants to grind flour all day but it jas to get done. Shitting on people for doing hard work that is necessary for their own survival (and lets be real many of these things are also pleasureable) is a huge mental block devoid from reality.

I was unemployed during the crash of 09 for like 7 months. First 3 months we're glorious, and I love to pursue my hobbies. Month 4 I started to get super down. I still love to not work, but I've learned I really do enjoy and love the challenge of work and I love to solve problems and meet people.

Everyone should get that break, tho, because without it, I think work will always feel like an obligation to resent.

Yes I've noticed that in my current job. Quite a few people can't take it, and quit.

I don't exactly work in customer service, even though I do provide information about my services at the customers request, and let me just say- the amount of self restraint my co workers and I have to have some days is astounding. People are bitches to us for no reason some days.

There's at least 3 guarantees in life actually. Death, Taxes, and Concrete will Crack.

Edit: formatting

My windows begin above dong height. Which means I can walk around nakey all day inside :)

Ye they get their through death, death and rebirth kinda a big thing because after this temporary life we will be having an eternal life.

I don't see anything conflicting with what I stated.

But I do see that you have the wrong view about how society works.

Napoleon had A LOT of internal and external aggressive competition. Besides that, most people tailoring and baking were doing that because they literally needed it to survive. Many would prefer a better life.

A lot of people see wealth as a virtue. However that is a belief of wealthier people.

In poor people its always abusing a power dynamic. Some of whom are very nasty for no reason.

Many get rewarded for this behavior with free stuff so they repeat it.

Hmm… I wouldn’t say culture. It’s not like the most normal thing to see her. But people here are liberal and so are the laws.

Those people who act pervert in public exist here too. For those we have laws but they are a minority compared to the other group.

I remember when eBay was new someone tried selling their virginity on it.

It got a shut down, obviously.

Well yeah, that’s the concern. /u/fangore doesn’t give a single shit. It’s super concerning.

Ad long as you won't get in trouble legally, that can be any floor

I wish I could live up to this. I think you are very much on point.

no shit?!

They’re right. It’s not healthy to not poop.

One can complain and be upset without being nasty or cruel. Ive dealt with a lot of customers over the years and there is a clear distinction between having emotions and lashing out at people.
