Well I apologize if I misunderstood

Nothing in the OP suggests that anyone was being an asshole to Derek in particular.
- Comment on Enshittification 2 days ago:
Well, if it’s evidence-based, then it’s rational. Only irrational people would do things that have never been proven to work.
HOWEVER, if it’s rational, it shouldn’t need legislative support in order to work, because rationality speaks for itself. I don’t need a law to tell me to tie my shoelaces because I know I’ll end up tripping over them if I don’t.

Just like Harry Potter… 🥹

Derek sounds like a snitch

Puh-lease
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
You haven’t presented any evidence for your claims so I don’t see why I should.
- Comment on Terrorists 3 days ago:
As opposed to posting memes to elicit emotional responses?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Ah, good argument. I’m totally convinced now and will immediately change my opinion.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
But it…didn’t have to be legislated, and wasn’t
Oh, weird. What’s this, then?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Because it’s diversity for diversity’s sake. It encourages people to maximize on their unchangeable attributes like skin color or sexual orientation instead of any actual skills.

And do you think the cops would remove me from your house before giving me a trial?
Why don’t I get to stay? I demand to stay at your house until this is sorted out.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Businesses aren’t people.
Where did I claim that?
No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That’s why we have a government.
Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn’t correct itself as fast as it could.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Yeah, no, that is exactly what was claimed.
The assumption of rational actors is standard practice in economics, basically every single theorem depends on that. When I pointed out that racism isn’t rational, the argument changed to “well, you can’t assume that everyone is rational”.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Nobody chooses to be white either.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
What was the evidence that convinced you?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
If rationality is overrated and DEI is rational, isn’t this an argument to discard it? Conversely, if it isn’t, isn’t this an argument that DEI is irrational?

I’m sorry, but what part of what I said was antisemitic?

Mar A Lago seems like a nice place to get deported to. Thank you for your kindness, I’ll take it.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
It’s because the point of society isn’t to root for bad businesses failing. It’s to ensure the just treatment of all people.
Isn’t it justice for bad businesses to fail?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
If DEI made companies more money it wouldn’t have to be legislated, would it. Anyone with a smidge of business sense would absolutely crush it by hiring all the people that racists routinely overlook.
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
If racist businesses will fail on their own because racism is not sustainable, why does there need to be a law against it? Let them fail of their own accord. It might take a while, but if you’re right, they most certainly will.
- Comment on Terrorists 3 days ago:
If I showed up at your house at night, unannounced and without permission, would you throw me out right away or wait until I raided your fridge?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Right, so if race is irrelevant, any company who’s willing to hire race-blind would be able to easily outdo all of the racist ones by hiring the people others won’t. What part about that are you not understanding?
- Comment on Enshittification 3 days ago:
Then why doesn’t someone go and create a company to hire all of that untapped non-white talent, surely they’d be running circles around their competition…
- Comment on Terrorists 3 days ago:
Well, I certainly hope I’m not posting here in my sleep.
- Comment on Terrorists 3 days ago:
They already broke the law by coming here illegally.
- Comment on Terrorists 3 days ago:
So we should just sit around and wait until they become confirmed serial killers and human traffickers?
- Comment on Enshittification 4 days ago:
If you need remedial reading comprehension classes, I suggest you visit your local community college. I can’t help you with that.
- Comment on Enshittification 4 days ago:
If capitalists are greedy for profit, why on earth would they hire unqualified people who look like them rather than qualified people who don’t?
