Consider taking off those marxist "every relationship in life that involves command structure is oppressive" glasses and looking at the world as it actually is.
I didn't say to go and spectate the worst of the poorest people. That's literally the opposite of what I said, and yet that is what you made out of it.
I said that you need to learn how to deal with such people, which is literally opposite of spectating the worst of them. It means actively interacting with them, on equal terms in some environment. Military service for example.
When your perspective is this warped to the extreme, where you literally read a statement and take from it the exact opposite of that statement I don't think there's a possibility for conversation.
That is another very important point to learn. Life is brutal. It's what got me to eventually learn how to stand up for myself as a teenager, a skill that helped me significantly later in life.
It also taught me empathy. When you have been on the receiving end, you learn to empathise with people who get to be there as well, because you know how they feel. It's literally the definition of empathy.
So teach people empathy before they become elites. Literally my point, re-iterated.
Which is why you teach people empathy before they're highly successful. Read what you're replying to. No one is born elite. Science is clear on this. Approximately 90% of people who get rich lose it all within three generations.
That means that people who are actually elite within society have to work to get where they are. They just may have to work less than those that are in a less advantageous position due to their family status. Those who don't work go down in society, not up.
And right considers poor to be deplorable. I find right's view to be a little bit more tenable, as they're at least discriminating on status rather than purely birthright, and people can affect their status to an extent. They obviously can't affect their birthright.
But it's a choice between frying pan and hell. Both are awful.
1. Learn that they are human, just like you, and have legitimate interests, just like you that you probably should pay attention to if you want to be in upper class and effective at it. 2. Never get it in your head even as a conceptual thought that people who have different background from you are "deplorable". 3. Win elections.
If you think it isn't working well in US, you are either very naive and ignorant of the world, or you're comparing it to utopia that doesn't exist outside of your head.
Things can certainly work better than in US, but not by much. Differential between Western countries is tiny when compared to the rest of the world, or the same countries in the past.
I noticed that you tried, in your limited ability, to mimic my method and as is common with people who have warped world view because they hold extreme views, you missed the point entirely.
>It's not because they're unbelievably Caucasian... it's because they're unbelievably empathetic to the people around them
While it's not necessarily causation, there's a very clear correlation between all people being similar ethnically and culturally and high level of empathy. Case to point: Sweden having the highest rate of white flight in known world.
Learn to deal with "lesser humans" early actually. A very important skill considering that if you're destined for the upper classes, you should learn empathy for the lower classes.
Something utterly absent in elites on both political left and right today, and imho one of the biggest societal problems that US is facing today.
One of the best parts of Trump getting elected is that now it's left's turn to remember that state's rights are also their rights.
Obvious problem being that far left is authoritarian, and will not care. For them, this is just a temporary glitch on the path to progressive utopia, and whatever skulls they need to crack on their way there, bring on the sledgehammer. But for centre left, this is a very good reminder.
It's much worse than crap. It's literally more dangerous to the shooter than to whatever is being shot at. It's all but certain to explode in your hands when fired for the first time, unless you made all the parts on high end 3d printer of the kind that is priced in nine digits, with high end materials.
And even then, it will survive one shot, and then blow up on you on the second.
Which is wholly irrelevant, because every single state that allows automatic weapons possession requires that possessor meets all federal law obligations.
This kind of desperate spin by the activists is exactly what I'm talking about. Now that world hunger has been all but solved, they desperately need some way to keep people thinking that capitalism just isn't helping the poorest.
That moment when you have to pretend that "people eating too much" is the same thing as "people starving" just to sell your narrative, is the moment you show just how little you actually care about the people.
There are tens of millions of people alive right now who have mild retardation, not because they lost the genetic lottery, but because they grew poor in countries hit by hunger back then, which crippled the development of their learning ability. To even consider comparing this to people being fat from eating too much sugary food is to be a truly monstrous individual with utter lack of empathy.
Something that was quite common among the communists in Soviet Union, Maoist China and Pol Pot's Burma, and national socialists of the Third Reich. Can't afford empathy when there's utopia to be built.

Define "proper" and cite examples of workable society that is as multiracial and immigrant-friendly as US that has comparable systems.
Imaginary utopias don't count.

People don't "complain about 1USD". They just quit the service.
Guess what happens to IM service that has no people.
Telegram and Viber. Two almost as ubiquitous IM clients that would easily replace whatsapp if it ever goes pay to use, or gets annoying with ads.
And then, there's of course WeChat, which is functionally better than WhatsApp already in many ways but has other problems.
Being pushed into ruling position before you're ready, it's a recipe for disaster for you and those you rule over.
It's one of the major problems with inherited power and people dying too early. North Korea comes to mind as example of this.

Why are my suggestion and yours in any way mutually exclusive, rather than mutually reinforcing?

Please explain why same consideration should not be given to national brand of socialism on the exact same grounds you are selling?
US is one of those countries.
Problem appears to be Asian markets, where phones below 5,5" will not sell. And phone companies sell more in China than anywhere else in the world.

Point being you can do updates whenever you want this way. Simply re-enable the service.
It's still shit, but it's a lot less of a shit than it is if you just let it go on auto.

Desperate name calling is the last refuge of ideologue caught peddling lies.
Obvious caveat: I was talking about automatic AK-74. Semi-automatic is a completely different story, which was the entirety of my earlier point.
