> Congratulations for your situation in life and happiness. Many people will never know that.
Correct.
> Then you must feel very privileged because of your ethnicity, your country of citizenship, and education.
That's the point. My political ideology is not self-serving. I am part of those who benefit from the status quo. I recognize all of that.
> You're the one that raised the example of the garbageman/artist and just because I point out some flaws in that example, your personal situation makes this a strawman?
You did not even allude to the "garbageman/artist" example. You insinuated that I was "complaining" and "feeling entitled to other people's money", which is trite conservative bullshit.
If we keep "sanitation work" and other difficult, menial tasks to their minimum rather than putting people to work for profit first and foremost, then the people who DO clean toilets and collect garbage will have more time in their week to find purpose and actualization elsewhere. Currently they are overworked and alienated and you would have us believe that's a necessary thing.
