I learned the phrase, "the cruelty is the point" from r/cth and I use it all the time talking about politics IRL. Oftentimes decent people struggle to believe the facts that I tell them, they don't understand why something inefficient and hurtful would be protected. The cruelty is the point.
Small bit of context: in the story he was talking to a guy who worked on wall street.
This exact line of reasoning was the final nail in the coffin if liberalism for me.
Someone has to clean the fucking toilets, and they deserve a good life too
