[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I am not, in fact, flustered. Believe it or not, saying there is a middle ground between eating nothing but peanut butter sandwiches and ordering DoorDash- which is the post I responded to- does not make me conflate needs with wants. Although I admit that you don't need to eat anything but beans and vegetables. That doesn't mean I think anyone deserves to live on nothing but beans and vegetables. That's a miserable way to live. Do you think people deserve to live that way? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] chitak166@lemmy.world -16 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you think people deserve to live that way? Nope, but many people do while this guy probably doesn't. I don't think he should get more before those who have less than him. It's the same concept for critiquing people wealthier than us applied to ourselves. Needless to say, but I'll say it anyways: those who have more than him should also have less while people need more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Great.
