Sometimes you gotta punch down. If guy shoves a gun in your face and says "give me your wallet," you gotta "punch" him, one way or another.

You don't say "Well, you had a wallet and he didn't, so there's nothing we should do."

Nobody's shoving a gun in your face. You're hearing dissident political content and having exactly the wrong reaction to it.

Oh, are you saying crime doesn't exist? No one's ever been mugged? Is that your claim?

Or are you saying that street crime is mostly perpetuated by investment bankers?

I mean, what is your claim here? That anyone who's poor is good, and anyone who's rich is bad? That a man's worth is simply the inverse of his bank account, such that anyone with $0 has infinite worth and anyone with $2 million is a piece of dogshit?

This is a deliberate misunderstanding and proof positive that this account isn't here to uphold Saidit's values of honest argument.

It's a bunch of questions. I phrased them as questions for a reason: I cannot understand your philosophy of "the little guy" versus "the big guy." Like, I don't even know what's in your head when you think of "the little guy." Or why you think being "little" makes you "good."
