I love this argument. Absolutely no empathy for anyone who had different options and experiences, just straight up "I did it so anyone else can too." You're making the world a better place. /s
"Fuck you, I got mine."
I can have empathy for people in different situations than me, but it's not my responsibility to bail them out of their problems.
I really don't understand people who don't want to contribute to an overall better society.
I'm happy to pay more in taxes to have a healthier, better educated, and more stable society. It pays dividends.
I'll just assume your family is penniless, sent you to poorly funded K-12 schools, and kicked you out on your ass onto the street the day you turned 18 with no warning or support of any kind, and you still somehow got a degree without debt.
Otherwise, you'd be a raging hippocrite born on third base crowing like you hit a triple! Clearly though that can't be the case.
I'm sorry your family did you like that though, that's rough.
Well it is if you want a healthy society, other wise sure, every man for himself.
Counter argument: Yes it is. As much as any responsibility exists at all, you have a responsibility to your fellow people.
"Well it's not my responsibility" leads to a shittier world. And since you apparently have a degree and no debt, you can spare the energy to be better.
Or maybe just watch "The Good Place" again.
No?
In fact, you know what? You should just drop out of society, go buy your own island, and declare yourself sovereign. There, you will only ever have to deal with your own choices and problems. You'll never have responsibility for anyone else's, and no one will have responsibility for yours.
The rest of us will be over here enjoying something called civilization, where people join together for their mutual benefit and aid.
You think you're personally paying off other people's student loans? Don't bother answering you're obviously just a troll.
What's your opinion on bailing out Mega Corporations who didn't responsibly save their money? Or is it ok to bail out Mega Corps but not ok to bail out your mechanic?
