No fucking shit, Sherlock. In other news: "water is wet" and "fire is hot", and later "capitalism does nothing for non-capitalists, and should be overthrown"
Why is this not top comment?
Because it's the same kind of tired "I knew it all along" comment that's under every depressing post like this - a comment that simultaneously undervalues both deep analysis and scientific rigor in service of a cheap, emotional moment of superiority over those who "haven't figured it out yet".
Thanks for the thorough response. I appreciate it. I do enjoy the more thoughtful engagement of Lemmy compared to Reddit.
Why u gotta be so far up ur own ass? "Undervalues both deep analysis and scientific rigor", well excuse me for not keeping my cool at every moment like you in the face of inevitable demise. You fucking cunt.
