Are we going to let this perverse society take every improvement we make and make us pay for it? We all work for the common good and we have the right to reap the benefits, not be forced to adapt to a system that exploits us just because someone sometime ago invented penicillin and so that good must be offset by an equal sacrifice?
That's... How life works. In literally every society on the planet right now that's how things work. If you want something someone else did you have to give in kind. Medicine, clothing, food. No matter what the system undo t get the fruits of others labor for nothing.
People with your take are always thinking they can exist in a society where everyone else provides and u get to do nothing and relax ...cuz reasons apparently.
I didn't get the same takeaway from their message. I don't think it's that we should do nothing and get everything, rather we should do things and get a reasonable return for having done them.
You don't ever get guaranteed all the resources you need to exist. Saying otherwise is literally in the op post. Pretty clear to me.
