A role? A part? Are you serious?

> adopting these values will make the world a better place and reduce the burden on public services

That's such bullshit. "If only poor people would just work harder and save more - everything would be awesome". Reality check: poor people work long, hard hours for minimum wage with no hope of escape.

Delusion - it is strong with this one.

While I can't disagree with much of this, you need to check your glibness at the door. Especially stupid sentences like "Delusion - it is strong with this one." The whole point of commenting should be part of an attempt to inform others. When you're acting like a jerk, no one's going to take you seriously, and no one's going to learn anything from you.

I've recently realised that arguing doesn't really ever convince anyone of anything - nor does it help teach the other side - everyone just doubles down and doesn't budge.

My goal with my comments is not to convince you. Neither is it to teach you. Rather it's to help me think about my own opinions by writing them down.

I'm not here to convince or teach anyone. I'm here to write.
