Yeah, well, we can’t. You know why? Because you won’t show us. If we’re being less generous, because it doesn’t exist. If you want us to admire you, give us something to admire. If not, you can’t blame us if we think you’re full of shit.
Hey Tom, did you know I’m an Oscar-winning actor and also I have the Nobel Peace Prize and the Purple Heart? I mean, I don’t, but I have exactly the same amount of evidence for those things as you have for your “entire life’s deeds.” Do you understand?
Who are they? This should be good.
Okay, Tom, let me explain this to you. The reason you can live as a social outsider is not because you’re some rugged frontiersman, but because you exist within the system you condemn. This industrialised, capitalist society is what generates your tardbux. It’s what gives you a roof over your head. It’s what creates the surplus you dumpster-dive for. It gives us the laws and social norms that prevent you getting your ass kicked every time you act like a prick towards some receptionist.
If society collapses, you are more fucked than any of us because you are a helpless, obnoxious old man with no skills. You would be killed in the first riot.
