My friend usess this argument all the time and it's so annoying... Why should the wealthy suffer for destroying the environment when you also drive a car....
Your friend is a cuck for the rich.
And a little bitch boy
He's definitely been called that before lol
It's not his fault though. It's due to all the techno-optimist propaganda spouted out by various media channels by the techbros and the people profiting off of fossil fuels.
I'm subjected to the same propaganda as he is.
Surely that's not accurate... I'm sure you haven't listened to as much Joe Rogan was he has lol.
Yah. In my youth I was hopeful of tech saving us. But now seems very unlikely. Just like AI. it's not going to save us it's going to make some people very rich.
Probably, like most men his age.
Is your friend very wealthy?
On a global scale, yeah, probably top 10%
Locally, not really. Just the average American income.
Because the majority of the population always tries to copy the rich. Eating lavish meals with lots of meat was the norm in high society so now it's what everybody wants for dinner. A large manicured lawn was a show of wealth and thus everybody now wants their patch of well maintained grass, even in a desert. Flying and vacations on the other side of the planet was for the jet set so now everybody gets in economy class for holiday. Trickle down is also for habits, life style and consumption. They are the example to follow and should behave like it. It's the old concept of noblesse oblige.
Stop being friends with idiots
See, structures dont exist and there are only differences if kind, not if scale. Anyone who says otherwise is a filthy fucking commie and needs to die in the camps.
So your feiend sounds great. Great friend. Keep that one close. He (because clearly someone i agree with wouldn't be of an inferior sex) is one of the good ones. Keep him close and never call him on his shit.
