Yes it's very easy to say that other people should die in the streets for you immediately, but reality is more complicated.

You seem extremely confident that you know what everyone is and isn't doing. Judging millions of people for what you imagine they're thinking and doing is real stupid.

The results speak for themselves. When I have people lobbing their excuses at me instead of working to fix their problems, the outcome is patently clear.

Those don't happen in the same place or time. You're seeing people make excuses on reddit, and that somehow means that nobody is doing anything in a completely different place and time?

It's just assumptions and imagination with you. There are huge problems with how people are reacting, but what you're arguing is stupid and worthless.

Again, you cannot really tell from reddit posts what people are doing. You simply don't have the data you think you do and you're being incredibly judgemental about people in another country in a rocky information environment.

The way you assume you know everything I am and am not doing based on a few reddit replies is just pure 100% jackassery designed to help you feel superior.

Like I said, you don't really know what kind of "inaction" someone has when you're just seeing reddit posts. People leave reddit and go out into the world and do other things. You have no way of knowing that. You're being needlessly accusatory with virtually no data.

In every reply in this exchange, you've escalated your accusations toward me based on nothing.
