Rude tone. But that’s my thinking today going home. Animal farm everywhere I see. Full back to the office, bet somebody can still work from home. Bad economy, work time and salary decrease, but somebody is more important and can keep work time and salary. Lying and cheating for benefit is absolutely normal. Staff engineer forcing engineer to do impossible to keep him away from high visibility project. Lying and stabbing everywhere, it takes time to notice. But that’s how it works.


It's incredibly strange to make what's very clearly a moral argument into some kind of insulting class argument. I don't think you're going to be converting _anyone_ towards your worldview with that kind of approach. A lot of your comments are of a similar spirit and were rightfully downvoted -

> The "free market" is so good at problem solving! I hope the entrepreneur who thought of this made a tremendous profit!

> But I was always assured the US has the greatest healthcare system in the universe because it's privately profited from!

It's just low-quality stuff, man. Keep it on /r/politics, I'm begging you.


The notion that morality and class are not directly connected is exactly how structural oppression and mass inequality are justified. The OP comment is one of the few ethical people in a fundamental unethical world. Get off your high horse and stop defending the boot on your face


Please consider revising your future comments to not flame people. This is an emotional response to what the poster said, and frankly validates some of his point about the fierce loyalty to LLMs despite lacking understanding. You can happily challenge that in a dignified manner.


Even if you disagree with the parent comment, this sort of hostility is uncalled for.

This kind of stuff doesn't hurt my feelings, but I do have a question. If I'm being a "bootlicker", how does that justify hostility?

Wouldn't that be good for you and others who feel the same as you? Like, shouldn't you actually encourage "bootlickers" if you have this kind of devil may cry, realpolitik view of morality? Otherwise I'm just competition right?

There are no wrong answers here, I really just want to understand what you think better.


The "boots on the necks of workers" metaphor has been used over many generations as a reflection of the hostility that working people endure in the capitalist workplace. Complaining about the metaphor itself being "hostile" is just laughable. Sticks and stones, my friend.
