“Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that the person who’s been going robbin people while wearing a hood is also called Robin Hood and that a real name of a real person and not just British people taking piss?”

You’ve been very naughty this year haven’t you, Brian?

Never before, in human history, has such ruthlessness been so wholesome.

As intended, from the looks of the strikes.

I’m not surprised. A barrister is, traditionally, who you would hire to represent you, specifically within a higher court, when it sounds like all you needed to do was chat to the duty solicitor for free.

What a mix up. It sounds like your dad really screwed you over there. You must’ve been very cross when you found out

Sorry, I mean, instead of a solicitor?

Wow that really does make the UK sound like a police state. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you have to hire a barrister?

You feel better now?

And it’ll happen to you one day too

Thats fair enough but, for me, the problem is that one of the many things that are highly valuable is a CEO thats very good at paying everyone below them as little as possible, to maximise wealth extraction by shareholders. Valuable to who?

Of course, youd be right to say that how business works but I think its unfair to use the paygap they’re incentivised to make as justification of the paygap its self. By far and away, most of the people in the world work for their money.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about this. I don’t really care if someone who works harder than me and or was more successful having a bigger house and a faster car etc. I don’t think those things matter as much to me and the incentive can, potentially, be put to really wholesome uses. To me, the only question is “how much more?”

The problem is the people who don’t work for their money and just own for it instead. Not that you’ve said either way but they dont necessarily and very often don’t work harder, have more experience or more responsibilities. Once you’re wealthy enough, you can have nearly all of that taken care or for you.

Personally, I agree with it in the sense of at least the CEOs are working and there are bigger problems.

100% and you probably know this, so I’m just addin: think of infinity as a sequence of infinite numbers. The number of all the even numbers, that stretch off into infinity, are also infinite. However, that infinite number isn’t as big as regular infinity.

You can have different sizes of infinity because when things get that big, the rules change. Its almost like infinity / 2 = smaller infinity.

Tbf, those same billionaires are pretty powerful but yeah, you’re right and it’s tragic.

“VPNs are haram but tor browser truly is the work of Allah himself”

Some guy, maybe.

Its also exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to read about in the onion.

This is beyond mear irony.

You seem like someone who would ask “why should I vote for better oppression?” without a hint of irony.

Still, it’s good to see that you’ll be alright, either way. That’s good to know, at least. I’m glad you won’t be effected by any of this.

Its sad how western colonial imperialists will try describe ethnic cleansing as a good or necessary thing.

As I suggested, the idea is and always has been to force palestinians out from Palestine, so they can be denied the right to ever return to thier homeland

In the exact way Israel has done to thousands of palestinians before and were all supposed to pretend we can’t see exactly what we’re looking at.

Also, “war” implies either side could win. This isn’t a war, its ethnic cleansing, for the express purpose of illegally colonising stolen land.

Are you trying to tell me that the spirit of capitalism won’t return to us, dressed in the splendor of new technology, to absolve us of our past planetary transgressions, and take us to a new, perfect place amongst the stars where we will live in profit and harmony for ever?

Well, thats the second time I’ve fallen for that story…

I don’t remember saying that skill shortages don’t exist.

Israel declaring everyone should just leave is great and everything but where is safe for them to go?

Its just, to me, the only places they seem to be able to go that might be safe are outside of Palestine but maybe I’m just being cynical.
