Strudel Man posted:Yeah. I get your claim, but it's really not the case here. Infant mortality, educational attainment, percentage of population with real income above certain fixed poverty thresholds, et cetera are all improved pretty strongly in the last few decades across the developing world. That's real. It’s not the economic system that’s led to these improvements but new methods and technology. People invented stuff before capitalism. The compounding effect of technological advancement makes idiots think that the economic system used recently is obviously the cause of the increasing pace of advancement but that’s strictly correlation not causation.

All without getting to gently caress. It living might actually be worse since it’s still going to die of hunger or asphyxiation, just after a lifetime of hell instead of right away.

popewiles posted:He didn't say that. You can be against our insane prison population and still be able to point out when a statistic is used moreso for it's ability to emotionally manipulate than its actual utility in expressing the size of our prison population. Honestly, the side against our absurdly high black incarceration rate shouldn't have to resort to that kind of intellectual dishonesty, leave that kind of thing to the people who try to justify it. It's not at all intellectually dishonest. You and that other guy caring more about percentages doesn't mean non-percentage stats are now dishonest.

Yes, it's true that you aren't ethical based on your brand or shopping choices. But there are certainly ways to be shittier than necessary.. A lot of them have been covered in this thread I think anyway here's a good book to buy and great place to shop @
