More lazy and pathetic than what you just posted? That's a stretch.
How do you confirm that the members of Wall Street Oasis are successful?
How do you determine that the sampling is Libertarian, and that said sampling reflects the membership of Wall Street Oasis, let alone the internet?
This is primarily a Straw Man, wherein the rhetorician sets up an argument that only superficially resembles the views of the opponents, differing in ways usually intentionally chosen to make the argument weaker. Attacking this new, fabricated, weaker position will be, the perpetrator hopes, viewed by the audience as a successful attack on the actual positions held by the opponent.
There is also a dash of a particular rhetorical tactic whose official label, if it has one, I am not familiar with. It is similar to reduction to absurdity, only instead of actually stating what would result in the absurdity, the position itself is simply stated with an attitude of absurdity, as though both the fact of and the reason for the absurdity is obvious and unquestionable. This particular use is intensely amusing to me, since the statement meant to seem absurd on the face of it (10% raise every year) is exactly the kind of absurdity that Capitalism relies on; only instead of wages growing indefinitely and without limit, it's wealth, profits, and productivity! But obviously expecting wages to keep up with the same growth expected in every other aspect of the economy is just absurd! Silly liberals, perpetual growth in wealth and productivity is for owners, not peasants…
Considering as well that the straw man of everyone working for the government is belied by the reality that the government sector has been dropping jobs for the majority of the current administration.
Professional board member Tom Perkins brings you your daily hyperbole by comparing the google bus protests with the halocaust. It will surprised no one that he was a News Corp board member for 5 years. Down in the trenches fighting the good fight against those Nazi 99%ers.
I was going to make fun of the Perkins letter, until I got to the bit about someone calling Danielle Steele a snob. Then I realized that was pretty much exactly like the Nuremberg Laws, and his ideas made a lot more sense to me.
Because the thing is that this guy just somehow missed the memo that you aren't supposed to explicitly say the Nazi stuff. That analogy is off limits, mostly, but the sentiments are actually pretty common. He's not just some old out of touch crackpot saying crazy shit.
People with a whole lot of unexamined privilege really do seem to become so sheltered and so coddled and so completely removed from reality that they start to perceive their hurt fee-fees over people being insufficiently deferential as genuine persecution. You see it in MRAs and white supremacists and in Christians moaning about school prayers, and in pretty much any group that's gotten acclimated to their special privileges. They're so completely invested in their own sense of entitlement that they're incapable of even the most basic empathy. I think they really do somehow assume that their hurt feelings over people saying something insufficiently laudatory about them is equivalent to other people being systematically oppressed and tortured and murdered.
It betrays the fact that having their feelings hurt is possibly the worst thing that's ever happened to them, and that they're so self involved that they can't even conceive of anything they haven't personally experienced. It's like some kind of privilege induced sociopathy or something.
I wonder if he plans on hiding in his hidden custom built wine celler/entertainment room for the next 4 years so they don't find him. It will be hard on him as it only has 10,000 bottles of wine a full sized movie theater and 10,000 square feet of living space. Depending on which house he plans on using.
JUST LIKE ANNE FRANK!!!11!!!!1!11!!!

This is smart and I am going to say it to people I know, only possibly saying first, "Like this other person I know online said..."
Very sensible, very sensible. Maybe we can also raise the voting age to, oh, about 40. Young people just up sticks and move all the time and don't really have the experience yet. Also, people who have not lived in the area for a few generations can't really be said to have real roots on a community, so let's rule out voting participation by blow-ins.
But, don't you understand Pea? All the massacres and holocausts in the world started because people didn't like the people they were slaughtering. So if people stop liking rich people the inevitable result will be hunting them down and murdering them. How can you people not see that? Won't you think of the poor, poor little rich boys?

How did I know where it was located? Not Google. No, I already knew where it was located because when I first relocated to Utah I considered buying a house only about three blocks from that school.
This goes more in the category of the Fuck the soon to be tech poors.
Zynga, has layed off 15% of its workforce.
Then spent $500M in mostly cash to buy a gaming company.
I hope no one here like's the company Natural Motion as they have just gone to where gaming companies go to die. Zynga Buys NaturalMotion For $527M, Signaling A New Tack For The Gaming Giant | TechCrunch

You lazy fucks hating on this guy. When you come to a higher level of thinking, you'll realize how this world rewards exactly what you are worth. Effort in, outcome out. Yes, there is an aspect of luck involved in it, but there are enough, homeless folks, that are millionaires, and a bunch that are billionaires too.
