Conclusion I'm coming to is that functional turds are vocal and unemployed and have a lot of time on their hands

I sure hope you're as good with the toilet as you are OOP

If your OO design is good, you wont have multiple data structures. I fail to see your point.

are you seriously implying that OOP has less job opportunities?

whoever said this has no clue what oop is about. you can do either of these things in any language.
OO good:
defining scope of methods and data
enforce pre and post conditions
OO meh:
you usually want composition, but there are also cases where inheritance is the obvious answer.
OO sucks:
people can program OO interfaces extremely poorly in a way that isn't immediately obvious
