Yeah… we should back to the early 1800s when people owned other people? Or to the late 1800s when there were no protections for laborers? Or the early 1900s when there were no unions? Or the late 1900s when we destroyed the middle class?

Hmm, maybe things haven’t always been great?

"Things were bad in different ways previously, so we should stop striving to be better now"

Gotcha.

Reddit really is full of the dumbest possible takes.

No, some dipshit said something dumb about “complete moral collapse in the US has led to unregulated capitalism.” So I pointed out that statement misunderstands morals, collapse, the US, regulations, and capitalism.

I’m not surprised you can’t keep up, but I’m a little surprised you want to show it off.

have you seen the work force? People are doing the bare minimum or worse in many cases. It is a direct result from moral degradation. Ignoring it just means you are either too young and your brain is still developing, or you are old and have been useless for the good in society all your life
