Better idea. How about we put malignant narcissists and other “le epic trolls” and put THEM in the coal mines to teach them humility?

I’ll never understand why people love being assholes and neurotypicals love assholes and despise kindness.

Cruelty doesn’t make you smart, it makes you look like a decadent pig.

I do think it is a byproduct of capitalism. Kindness doesn't make profit, so it is discouraged, even if it is "officially" seen as a good virtue by people, a lot of people love the anime villain/toddler logic of "It doesn't benefit me personally, so I view it as weakness."

i get that he doesn't exactly want this and that he's being edgy as a cover for eugenics but like my brother in christ if that was the case you would've been streaming from the coal mines, which is cleaner than your room anyway.

My high school had the special education students clean the lunch room and take out the garbage etc, supposedly to prepare them for jobs they could do, so they were sort of on this trend. This was the more 'progressive' school in the area as well, in a blue state.

Preparing them to work for inadequate compensation since that’s legal for disabled people?

If I were God, here's how the afterlife would work:

Upon dying, each person would stand before me. I would ask them to describe their ideal society, telling them that they will spend eternity on the top rung of it. After they have finished describing their society, I create it exactly as they described, but they spend eternity on the bottom rung instead (maybe they get to try again in a millennium or so).

you wouldn't have to tell them they were on the top because they would automatically place themselves there

Society would dramatically improve if we took everyone who had similar opinions and gave them the treatment they advocate for.

In a sane world, he’d be locked up for this.

I feel like every opinion this guy has can just be refuted by showing that clip of him using a dead rat cooking in the sun as an alarm clock
