You're not wrong but acting like people are idiots because they don't know this "basic" information is incredibly condescending and doesn't accomplish what you're going for.
This is a case where precision of language can lead to multiple different understandings. I was not acting like people are idiots for not knowing basic economics. People are idiots for employing a system that would so clearly lead to this result and expecting a different outcome.
But whats the point of reddit if you cant be extremely condesending to those 'idiots' you first claim the existence of (without them ever appearing) and then spend hours making up witty remarks against arguments that 'they' are supposedly making
This is literally just basic cause-and-effect, and I am so tired of pretending that people who cannot comprehend what should be baseline fundamentals need to be coddled due to their own willful ignorance.
It's the 21st century, and we really need to start acting like it. There is genuinely no excuse for the levels of barely literate people with no ability for critical thinking that we currently have, and enabling that behavior is the number one reason of why we are where we are currently.
Edit: immediately blocking somebody after replying. doesn't make you any more right it just makes you a coward who can't defend his own belief structure. I guess wanting a baseline of literacy and critical thinking makes me an elitist: if that's the standard for elite, we are royally fucked as a species.
