Oh I know that, I'm not one of the "kill billionaires" guys, I've just unfortunately spoken to way too many of them over my 4y (or whatever) on this tankie refuge we call a reddit clone and that's what they say. They also say "well someone is going to want to clean the shitters for free because they'll smell otherwise" in response to what you said. They're mostly a collection of willful ignorance and hatred. But personally I can't imagine there's enough coprophiliacs out there to sustain an entire waste management industry.
Yes, they’re fueled by resentment and righteous indignation. They see the world as a terrible place and demand that it be fixed for them. They also take for granted all the ways in which the world sucks so much less now than it did for most of history.
Sure, but you can't just resent your way into the impossible becoming possible. Under no circumstances will "everyone just does what they love for free bro" ever pan out to anything more than a pipe dream. Until we get unlimited energy, food/stuff replicators, and are in a completely post-scarcity world anyway, which is just as much of a pipe dream at the moment. Just because they're angry about X, that doesn't excuse them for not thinking solution Y through fully, y'know?
Couldn't agree with you more though!
Of course we'll never see a world where "everyone just does what they love for free bro." However, that does not mean that we shouldn't demand a world where resources are not hoarded by the few. Too many have too little, and too many are without. There's no excuse for that. Yes, some of these people are misguided, but I have far more respect for them for questioning the current system than those who are fine with the way things are.
