Let's take apart his original answer to my post.
Me: "For many people in tech ..."
NCD: "For every tech person that's happy about working remotely I can find you another that is unhappy."
--> Well, I didn't think it was as high as half but that certainly supports my post.
NCD: "If you've never been on the Apple, Google, or Facebook campuses you just wouldn't understand."
--> Is he attempting to gain credence through this? Considering these campuses have been closed since the pandemic, I'm not sure what it accomplishes in terms of an argument.
NCD: "And no, nobody is going around claiming they're acting nobly."
--> He's omniscient
--> Noble: having or showing very fine or admirable qualities a noble deed. I'd say
@dad4 believes his actions have admirable qualities versus the unwashed masses who aren't Korean or Mormon enough. He's one of a tiny number of people who happen to be on this board. This disproves his statement by counterexample.
You picked out his strawman argument.
I don't believe it's a conspiracy. He has his viewpoints and will gaslight, minimize, and strawman to support his views. Don't expect any critical thinking. We'll see this more often as the midterm elections get closer and those who worry about the balance of power become more desperate.
