    I’ll provide my labor when and where I see fit and to causes I feel are worthy of the effort, not because some random person on the internet demands it or attempts to undercut my argument by implying making it is a misuse of my time. Like all people, I am free to do with my existence as I please, when I please, and while I value what we can achieve together as a society, it’s still a mass of individuals and not a mindless collective. You keep taking the time to respond, why are you here saying “get a job” and not focused on your own “job”?

        I’m aware you don’t care, that’s why I’m here to remind you and everyone else that you don’t actually care about individuals, only what they can provide.

            I fully embrace providing nothing of tangible value to you personally and doing as I please with my existence in the endeavors I see worth giving my time and labor to. Currently, resisting your demands is a low cost, low effort exercise of my free will. I’m not obligated to labor but I have to live with the fruits of my own labor (or lack thereof). Neither you personally nor society as a whole get to dictate or demand what I do with myself and my labor, and I will aggressively defend my right and the right of others to exist without being subject to the demands of you or society. Do as thou will and live by the results.

                Of course talk is cheap. It’s the internet, and this is an anonymous forum. Neither of us have to come to blows over our differences. I can talk shit for days and all you can do is reply with memes. Is this really the best you can offer? No wonder why the left is losing. The fascists are grinding us under realtime while we debate with memes.

                  Why on earth would I waste my best effort on you? If you want better responses try earning them

                    Burden of proof to the contrary is on you. You got words to express yourself instead thoughts and feelings or do you let SpongeBob memes do your talking for you?
