Would make for a good Terry Pratchett novel.

If you have no dependents, no pre-existing debts to pay, are preferably young, live in a country with a good economy, got enough money or access to a decent social security program, then the internalized worldview might be the main problem.

Not saying this doesn't apply to quite a few people, but there are a lot of others who don't have that luxury.

social anxiety has entered the chat

Let's say we decide that ~~morals~~ what is right and wrong is decided entirely by ourselves. Then it makes perfect sense to defend your own opinions and to disagree with people who disagree with your stance on right and wrong. You chose those morals after all. It's kinda part of the deal that they can't apply to you alone (example: when is it just to kill?)

So I don't see a contradiction.

I guess this post is about Inability to engage with a different set of morals. But assuming that their is an absolute truth for right and wrong wouldn't solve that issue, so I'm not sure why they brought it up.

I don't disagree , but there's still the issue of different natural day-night rhythms. Night owls vs early birds.

Some people will need less discipline and motivation than others to achieve this.

Not to undermine the discipline of anyone who actually makes it happen.

Care to take some of my hours, lol?

I need to sleep 10 hours, every night, otherwise I'm actively depriving myself of sleep. I'm not ill, got confirmed that that's just how it is. A 40 hour work week really wasn't made for this.

If someone gets abducted and put in a stolen house with stolen furniture, are they to blame?

Like, I get it, we enjoy the privileges and share the responsibility to change shit. But responsibility and blame are two different things.

The original commenter said that burning down Teslas might destroy the owners life. This is a car that costs somewhere between 40000 (?) and 150000 dollars. Someone who can afford that is highly likely to recover. That's what this commenter pointed out.

Stating that isn't saying that it's cool to burn down a random person's car.

I do that in reverse, lol. Except I'm also not a native speaker. "Rephrase this, it should sound more scientific".

I hear they're pretty good at driving local birds extinct right now. Think about what would happen if they got this much time to hone their craft!

Probably, but I'd only believe that there is really nothing to be done once I see someone actually left-leaning attempt everything in their toolbox.

I believe Sanders would have tried to change as much as possible in the US. I also believe that he would have failed regarding a lot of things. Would have really liked to see him try though.

I get it and I don't disagree, but- Well, I for one wouldn't mind some radical change. Just not in the direction that it is going right now. Radical in itself is nothing bad, when the status quo is as bad as it is.
