Again, JP heaping shit on the homeless and saying it’s their fault must be another chapter in this story I missed.But it's just the conservative "self agency" fantasy.
If you're poor and homeless, a drug addict, in an abusive relationship, it's because you are lazy or decided to be that way so society shouldn't lift a finger to help you.
The black and white moral judgement keeps away the anxiety and uncertainty of a world of myriad, uncontrollable options.
It's garbage.
The advice on responsibility is more like “it is pursuing responsibilities that will give you meaning in your life, not pursuing rights”. It’s more directed at people who spend their whole life on 4chan and fortnite feeling bitter at the world - putting themselves in situations where they are depended on and are expected to perform will give their life meaning.
I think most of these criticisms are JP are based on things he has never argued. He’s never said people shouldn’t get help, he’s never said little Timmy who fell down the well doesn’t deserve to be rescued because he shouldn’t have been playing there.
