>The simplest and best reply to the Darwin tweet is this
That's a terrible reply as it implicitly endorses the idea the rich and powerful can say and do anything while the less fortunate better know their place and toe the line.
And that's not true? When you have to worry about maintaining a job you 100% have to watch what you say. We even have a saying which encapsulates this phenomenon - "FU money".
What part of my reply debated the truth of what was said? The tone of the tweet is gleeful endorsement. Hence it is not the "best" reply as espoused by the GGP. Thus my response and I'll quote it as a reminder since your response is a non sequitur.
>it implicitly endorses the idea the rich and powerful can say and do anything
When replying, please try to actually respond to what was written and not just how you feel about it or just the first thing that pops in your head.
PG laments the difference between today and 1500s. He is not talking about some ideal utopia. So the reply tweet claims that the difference is not that great.
That's a terrible reply as it implicitly endorses the idea the rich and powerful can say and do anything while the less fortunate better know their place and toe the line.
