Saying I am crazy because I assert wealthy people dislike things that bring poor people freedom is a form of gaslighting. You and people like you enable class oppression. You're so fucking stupid you buy into the lie and because you have a nice lifestyle and higher IQ, you enable rich people to manipulate others. Even if you have some narrow technical acumen, you are in fact stupid at seeing the broader problems in society. Much in the same way in olden times everything that upset the social order was "evil" now everything that upsets the social order is "crazy." Yes, that's gaslighting. Maybe we haven't known each other a long time, and maybe you have not personally secretly harassed and demeaned me insidiously over time, which is the quintessential notion of gas-lighting, but YOUR KIND has done this to many people for a long time, lacks an understanding of the fundamental attribution error and is genuinely too stupid to see class oppression, yes, you are a gaslighter, you're just too stupid to realize it.

Class oppression does exist and the rich and their proxies have all sorts of ways from disclaiming it doesn't.

I don't know you, but I'm going to take a wild guess: you're upper middle class, 190K a year doing software development, your IQ is 130 and you feel like with hard work and intelligence anyone can make it and you came from a middle class or possibly even lower middle-class background. You feel like because you made it, and escaped poverty, others could have easily also. You were selected for class advancement because a small percent of the underclass gets to move up to pretend fairness exists.

The rich oppress poor people in different ways, including with those they have selected, and including by keeping an untouchable underclass too small to revolt to make the large regular underclass complacent ("at least it's not that bad").

But this is a strategy, a technique. They call their oppression other things. "Oh, those people are just..." lazy, drunk, stupid. Insert a word to justify oppression. And saying anything else is just crazy, and then they have little boot lickers like you to occasionally offer insults and antagonism to anyone who suggests otherwise, as well as religion to offer the naive phantasmagorical portraits of a non-existent hell for anyone who challenges the social order too much so that only real heros with courage say "fuck this" when faced with a corrupt order. You are part of this, your denial is part of this, your gas-lighting is part of this.

Do you think anyone has read this far down into the thread? We're on an old thread very far down at the part where you have to click to see more. Perhaps 100 years from now AI is reading this (if we haven't all yet died as a result of environmental catastrophe) to try to learn how to simulate replies. I don't look like an idiot, no one can see me right now, you're probably one of the few people who will ever read this.

It's so tired of morons like you sticking your head in the sand and then pretending like you aren't facilitating cruelty in the world. You see people on the street wiho can't sleep without getting a ticket, aren't allowed to even live in the forests, and aren't able to even get a moment to sleep under an overpass while it rains because assholes have put spikes there? Your naivete or stupidity is either stemming from arrogance or malevolence. You're worse than the upper classes inflicting brutality on people because you feign like everything is fine. You're disgusting and I hope you suffer for denying that you are part of what is inflicting this brutal cruelty on the abject of society.

But also I don't know you that well, so perhaps you've been homeless yourself, live a middle class lifestyle, don't have an IQ of 130, and haven't advanced in society by acquiring some narrow technical skill. Perhaps you are Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged self-made and deserve it based on the work you've done. Idiots like you always create a false dichotomy that either extreme Marxism or unchecked capitalism are the only options, as though objecting to evil cruelty in society is somehow advocating for Marxism and that classism doesn't exist.

I see through your bullshit. Now go back to pretending that you've earned your place in society and everyone else can too and all is right with the world and you aren't some culpable vile ostrich while the world keeps heating up and the homeless population grows. You and your ilk disgust me and when not even your kind can escape the heat due to your inability to grasp math or history or data due to the convenience of avarice I'll be glad. (This is not meant to imply you don't understand global warming. You're allowed to think and express that's a problem at your social station without seeming like a "nutter." But your inability to see classism, you're willingness to parrot the common norms of society that the upper middle class or very lower upper classes are supposed to say IS the problem, and while scientists are setting themselves on fire trying to warm people we are all about to die, people like you are too stupid to realize that people at the top are a part of the problem and instead are towing the line of thinking what is socially acceptable. So go ahead and parrot normal ways of thinking and advocate for moderate sensible non-crazy change while exponents keep doing their thing. My only consolation is that your kind will soon be dead due to environmental catastrophe, along with all of us.)

When someone like you, with your above average intelligence, refuses to reason correctly, it's not laziness, it's just corruption through money and callousness. The 120-130 IQ set with their "everything is fine" mentality is just pernicious and it's pointless to even reason with you. The world is headed off an environmental cliff, there's nothing that anyone can do to stop it at this point, and I've played out scenarios in my head and there's no way I can personally stop this, even if I ran for office, even if I somehow could force most of the world to do what I want, because mathematically it's too late.

Actually, I've decided I'm wrong: I do look like an idiot opposing someone like you, it's a pointless endeavor. I read something in your stupid response that indicated mild verbal intelligence and I wanted to try to correct extremely poor logic but it was a pointless reflex. I need to learn to ignore your kind instead of giving into the time suck and distraction of those too deluded to understand classism or extreme poverty or upper class cruelty or impending environmental doom or the non-existence of god. Trying to reason with the stupid is only for the stupid, so I suppose we're both idiots. Enjoy the weather. The suffering your kind has inflicted on the homeless will soon infect the lives of every human as the planet becomes uninhabitable. Now go back to your non-nutter level-headed full stack development or whatever fucking shithead job you do and pretend while people on the street suffer that your acceptance of societal norms is not a part of this.
