god, what a softy pathetic serf they've trained you to be.
The poster made the claim that it's some slippery slope from her intentionally exploiting a system to fraudulently get free gas, to people being held criminally responsible when a piece software glitches. I pointed out this makes no sense...and this makes me trained to be a pathetic self?
Lol you are truly one of the great thinkers of our time.
Lemmy has a lot of anticapitalist reactionaries that will justify theft regardless of context. Even when someone steals $28k from a small business. Half the people defending her here probably think that stealing gas is sticking it to the oil companies or something...
balanced nuanced debate in this age only empowers your overlords. they count on you to be rational. if you want change, the pendulum has to swing hard in the opposite direction.
Logically speaking, this has to be a joke. But based on your previous response, I'm not so sure. Please tell me this is a joke and you don't actually believe being rational is a bad thing.
i'm being rational when i tell you that if you hold yourself to a high moral standard and expect your enemy to do the same, you're a fool.
Wow, it's not a joke. You actually think abandoning rationality is a good thing. Kind of explains your position.
likewise, i guess you really are that gullible.
