if her 200K+ salary isn't a good life? then what is?
maybe it's not about good life, maybe it's just that she doesn't give a fuck about health or fulfillment, and does what feels good to her in the moment and has and will forever live her life that way, and she will tell the doctor to fuck off when he tells her she has to lose weight or face serious illnesses.
some people are just shit people their entire lives, by their own active choices. here on lemmy, though, you're only allowed to be guilty of that if you vote republican or something. i wonder if the lady in the coffee line is democrat or republican, and how she would be a 'suffering from the oppression of the system' in one case, and 'deserving of her misery' in the other?
A life that doesn't need the suggar rush.
That's likely how she lives. The structure of society determines if she grew up longing for suggar or if she longed for a walk. A good society can make up for plenty of resources.
That's the usual team thinking. If we wouldn't leave the media to the elite we should have more nuanced conversations.
'nothing is anyone's fault, we are all victims of society/media elite. nobody can make their own choices'
Does that also apply to you? are you nothing more than a hapless victim? are the 'media elite' forcing you to write these comments on lemmy? or is that the 'structure of society' that forces you to type internet comments?
maybe you're just a bot though.
Most of what I write is society. I rarely have an original thought.
which is precisely why nobody can hold you accountable for anything you say or do, no doubt.
I don't pick majority opinions so society doesn't accept everything I say. Nevertheless, without the plurality of society I wouldn't have them.
now you're just contradicting yourself.
How?
