# 2025-11-05 ??:??:??
|
|
|
|
Conservatives claim to care about
|
|
family values, but a purely merit-based system
|
|
incentivizes degenerate lifestyles.
|
|
To build merit requires _time_ and nothing else.
|
|
"What of effort? What of willpower?" Yes, for those
|
|
of non-negotiable responsibility, (read: familial
|
|
obligation) carving out time for professional
|
|
improvement does require effort, a tremendous amount
|
|
in fact, where bachelors like myself struggle to
|
|
fill a day with activity. It would not be absurd
|
|
to say that it is easier for me to pursue
|
|
professional development than not. I don't believe
|
|
that love can be put off a decade, and I find the
|
|
idea bitter cynical.
|
|
|
|
I don't deserve a better life than my wedded
|
|
peers because I'm compulsively socially avoidant.
