generational inequality
Posted: Sun May 07, 2023 4:29 pm
A society is truly sadistic that allows some people to give a better life to their kids than adults who have worked hard all their lives will ever have through effort.

If I work hard, study hard, put in a lot of hours preparing for my demanding job,
WHY did you, VERY QUICKLY, MAKE an ASSUMPTION, and JUMP TO a CONCLUSION, that 'thieving' would be NEEDED or INVOLVED here?Impenitent wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 11:49 pm so the non sadistic society steals the earning of some to redistribute? or steals just to spite their accomplishments?

The view that 'social equality' is 'bullshit', of ANY sort, comes from ONLY 'those' with a VERY NARROWED, LIMITED, and/or CLOSED 'field of perception' capability.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm The idea of social equality is fascist bullshit, typically the moral assumption of morons, imbeciles, and Liberals.
If 'you' CHOSEN TO so-call 'work hard', 'study hard', and/or 'put in a lot of hours' preparing for some 'demanding job', which 'you' have CHOSEN to take and do, then 'you' have been SEVERELY INDOCTRINATED INTO a VERY UNJUST 'world' or 'society', and, as some wold say, become VERY MENTALLY RETARDED.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm If I work hard, study hard, put in a lot of hours preparing for my demanding job, then why shouldn't I earn the market value for my skills?
Way to go, captain OBVIOUS.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm A doctor makes more than a bus driver because the market places a higher value on the skills of the doctor than that of the bus driver.
In regards to the "bus driver" so-called 'earning' less money ONLY, or in regards to absolutely EVERY 'thing' ELSE?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm There's no injustice or immorality in the doctor earning more money.
ONLY the so-called "dumbest of fucking imbeciles" would make this CLAIM just here, in an apparent VERY COMPLAINING attitude by the way, WITHOUT even INFORMING ANY one of what the 'it' word is in relation to, EXACTLY.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm Only the dumbest of fucking imbeciles complain that it's not fair, it's injustice.
WHO are 'these, supposed, morons'?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm These morons believe that the very conception of 'inequality' implies injustice.
Okay. So, what do 'you' HAVE and USE for IRREFUTABLE PROOF for 'this CLAIM'?
LOL And what are 'you' basing 'this ASSUMPTION' and 'VERY NARROWED VIEW and PERSPECTIVE' ON, EXACTLY?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm So now the doctor can provide his family a better life than the bus driver can manage for himself or his family.
WHERE did THE ASSUMPTION that 'this' even took place COME FROM?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm So the doctor's kids go to Europe for vacation, but the bus driver cannot afford such a vacation. Where did the injustice occur?
Are 'you' ABSOLUTELY SURE and POSITIVE that ABSOLUTELY EVERY one recognizes 'these things'?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm Everyone recognizes that human beings are different, give different effort, have different skills, and earn different amounts for their jobs.
REALLY?
LOLfiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm yet we're supposed to believe that we're unique and also equal in all regards? What the fuck!
AND, if 'i', as a so-called "poor minimum wage worker", work for five years, live frugally, and manage to save a so-called 'small fortune', and are living a MUCH BETTER life than 'you', then what 'fucking' does this have to do with 'you', a so-called "doctor"?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm If I, as a doctor, work for ten years, live frugally, and manage to save a small fortune, what fucking does this have to do with you, a poor minimum wage worker?
'Inequality' in relation to 'what', EXACTLY, is NOT a supposedly 'morally loaded concept'?
Okay.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm I swear, Liberals in America are the dumbest people on this planet.
So, since the earth has been in existence the 'economic system' of "america" has been the GREATEST 'economic system', correct "fiveredapples"?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 11:44 pm boo hoo? I'm describing how America works, not complaining about it. You guys are literally the ones crying, wanting to change the greatest economic system in the history of the world. LOL...live with the inequality, dunce; it's actually good for you.

Combined with once one LEARNS and UNDERSTANDS HOW to 'tap into' 'what' 'they' Truly WANT and DESIRE, THEN 'they' CAN KNOW what 'it' IS that 'they' Truly SEEK, which then means that 'you' AND 'they' WILL DO BETTER.

For those who receive millions of dollars a year, have they REALLY 'earned' 'it'?Impenitent wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 11:49 pm so the non sadistic society steals the earning of some to redistribute?
Designing or inventing some 'thing', for example, and then getting paid millions upon millions of dollars for just having THAT 'thought' is NOT 'accomplishing' ANY 'thing' REALLY. They are just TAKING ADVANTAGE OF "others" who are willing, (or STUPID enough), to partake of their HARD EARNED money.
ACTUALLY, the societies that 'you', people, are living IN, when this is being written, are SO SCREWED UP that the people who are receiving the MOST monies would just keep on doing what they are, currently. That is; sports players, actors/actresses, company owners and their managers, and the "other people" in power OVER "others".
WHO even suggested that you should NOT?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm The idea of social equality is fascist bullshit, typically the moral assumption of morons, imbeciles, and Liberals.

Which brings us BACK TO EXACTLY WHERE 'social INEQUALITY' and 'social EQUALITY' COMES FROM, EXACTLY.fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm A doctor makes more than a bus driver because the market places a higher value on the skills of the doctor than that of the bus driver.
IN 'your' VIEW "fiveredapples".fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm There's no injustice or immorality in the doctor earning more money.
Have 'you' EVER, in 'your' WHOLE life, heard of absolutely ANY one 'complain' that it is NOT fair that "a doctor" earns more than "a bus driver"?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm Only the dumbest of fucking imbeciles complain that it's not fair, it's injustice.
'What' so-called "morons"?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm These morons believe that the very conception of 'inequality' implies injustice.
'Which ones'?
WHY are 'you' now PRESUMING, SAYING, and/or CLAIMING that there IS 'injustice' here?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm So now the doctor can provide his family a better life than the bus driver can manage for himself or his family.

So, if EVERY one RECOGNIZES 'these things', then what IS the 'issue' or 'problem' here, EXACTLY?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm Everyone recognizes that human beings are different, give different effort, have different skills, and earn different amounts for their jobs.
IN 'your' WHOLE life have 'you' REALLY HEARD 'people cry' about how EVERY one is 'unique'?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm People cry about how everyone is unique, yet we're supposed to believe that we're unique and also equal in all regards?
YES.
If I as a "sports person", PLAY AROUND in some GAMES for a few or so years, live ANYWAY I like, manage to 'save' a so-called 'small fortune', and do NOT want to spend one cent on SAVING or HELPING the LIVES of a few less fortunate CHILDREN, then what does this have to do with you, a so-called 'poor minimum wage worker'? After all I 'earned' 'my money', RIGHT?fiveredapples wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:29 pm If I, as a doctor, work for ten years, live frugally, and manage to save a small fortune, what fucking does this have to do with you, a poor minimum wage worker?

LEVELING 'the playing field' IS A VERY SIMPLE and VERY EASY process.popeye1945 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 9:01 am A ripple on the pond of the generations, I never promised you a rose garden--lol I think you mean societal inequality, for there is only inequality with comparison. There is in society a kind of family factory system, and the fortunate or unfortunate tend to produce more well-adapted offspring or copies of the family in misfortune. It is the luck of the draw so to speak, context defines if all other factors such as health are the same across the board. It is not fair, never has been, and apparently never will be. Life itself is a struggle, but for some, they are given an edge at birth, there doesn't seem to be a realistic way to level the playing field. Context defines.
