As Thunder Rumbles, From An Undetermined Distance

The contemporary likelihood of an event or set of events communicates little to nothing about the comparative value of an outcome one might prefer.

    I'm choosing to take this personally*.

    I yearn for simpler times when we could just Punch a Motherfucker. Not that either you or the rumbler qualifies as the receiving end, in my humble view. But surely, surely there is a motherfucker to be found to absorb our ire, no?

    Warmth.

    *No, I'm not. Clocks are funny, though.

    I found thunder's snark indicative of victimhood and comfort in that status.

    If you want to tell people "that Social Security that you like so much?...it's just an evil tool of the plutocracy", then you have to explain what will be better for them if they didn't have it.

    Or at least, why their sacrifice will be worth it for the greater good. And that's going to be tougher.

    I think I missed part of this, but I disagree that Mr. Crow is obliged to "explain what will be better for them if they didn't have [Social Security]".

    Stating a fact about a particular state of affairs does not oblige the speaker to provide an alternative.

    I'm simply suggesting that the likelihood of an outcome says nothing about why or how one should preference it.

    To argue that social security or the Presidency aren't going to abolished any time soon, so therefore the real struggle should be how to make them better is to limit the debate to begging for scraps from those who control both.
