And here come the Social Justice Warriors....
Why do you hate freedom, Dr. Mate?
As opposed to the preferred Antisocial Anti-Justice Wimps?
I doubt that anybody who clicked on here even bothered to find out what the video was speaking about. It is about how the capitalist lifestyle is bad for our mental and physical health. There is plenty of empirical evidence of this: high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, type two diabetes, depression, anxiety, etc...
I read Dr. Maté's book 'In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts'. It's brilliant. I don't agree with all of his theories, but his explanations of the common human drive to avoid pain and maximize pleasure are spot on. Some humans just have more pain to escape. Any of us who think that we are better than those who are the bottom of the food chain in this society, instead of just being luckier, are just deluding ourselves. That self-serving thought pattern is another form of human weakness.
SJW mentality: "My life sucks, therefore I must blame the system. I am being oppressed."
Capitalism is love, Capitalism is life. <3
I bet that people comment when all they have read is the title - knee-jerk reactions instead of thoughtful analysis.
It is not good to make such assumptions about people.
Let's please focus on the topic, rather than on other members. We are better than that.
Your lack of capability of looking outside your limited biased view is shining through. You just spout opinions as opposed to thoughtful analysis.
Actually if anyone has read any other posts from this member you would see that he does offer analysis over just a perspective. I think this statement is your opinion on the member, not on his posts. We disagree wth a lot of perspectives, big deal. No need to get personal.
Actually, my original post was in reaction to a previous version of his post, which he edited. I have read many of his posts and have tried to debate him on some of them and he too often retorts to insults and isn't often willing to give some backup to his perspective. I guess I will edit my post now to match his new comments so it doesn't twist my words.
Actually it doesn't matter what post that was in response to. In my opinion you were reacting to and responding to the member, not the content. Please give me one example of him personally attacking with insults and I'll gladly eat my words. I value all opinions and perspectives and though [MENTION=13855]JJJA[/MENTION] may offer up an unpopular view, especially for this forum, it is still a valued perspective. I think people take things too personally here, especially when opinions differ.
If you read my posts you would see that I also value people's opinions. His previous post that he edited was a dig at me, so yes, my comment was responding to the member who had just made a comment about me. As I said, it was changed. I don't need to prove you or him right or wrong. I'm just on here making my own comments and he has at times commented in a derogatory way to my posts that weren't directed at him at all. I have nothing against him, or anybody for that matter, but I do not hesitate to answer back to his comments. I'm not sure why you are defending him as I know he is quite capable of doing it himself, and in my opinion people who dish it out should be able to take some of it back.
I bet that people comment when all they have read is the title - knee-jerk reactions instead of thoughtful analysis.
