      Congratulations. You’re the favorite person of every oil company executive and petty dictator-wannabe. You think when the unions fought against child labor and 80+ hour work most people didn’t think they were crazy?

          how was it different? legitimately asking because I want to understand where you’re coming from when you say something like that, maybe I am actually naive but I’m open to learning something new.

            The world was a different place, a smaller place… A company that fires all their workers goes broke in the 20’s, in the modern day, there are enough hungry people who can be gaslit into “Pulling themselves up by their bootstraps”

            At this point, don’t try to change the world, just don’t let it change you… as long as you can be less twisted than the world, you’re doing okay for yourself.

            No you shouldn’t have brought them into this world to begin with. What an absolute ego maniac. I’m sure they were planned and you make enough to support them financially. Good job. We need more you. I hope they never struggle. Dear old dad will just tell them to try harder!

        We live in a world where I could be arrested or canceled for trying to contribute to it.

        Go ahead, make a YouTube channel that tries to bring to awareness the evils of sexual assault. You will be accused of having something to hide by the audience and you will be screwed by the network when they make you use the weirdest and most awkward euphemisms to describe these heinous acts, meanwhile Penis Prager can say the N Word as long as his show keeps the lights on…

        I’m 32, I am infertile, but that is for the best. The human race doesn’t deserve to continue, I can only hope that reincarnation is real and that we can be reborn as something else, something that won’t fuck it up quite so magnificently.
