Food isn't a right.
The ability to acquire food is.
The moment food itself becomes a right, someone else becomes obligated to produce it, transport it, pay for it, or surrender it.
Civilization wasn't built so people could live off one another. It was built so people could cooperate through trade and produce enough that starvation became increasingly rare.
The systems most obsessed with declaring food a right are the ones with the worst record of causing famines.
@librarythingtim Because it was cool, exaggerating the strangeness of the antagonists made the 300 movie more like a comic book, it didn't make the movie more lame or more woke.
@Timcast Drinking plain black coffee is a taste I developed when I was having several coffees a day in the office and it was getting unhealthy with the cream and sugar. It is in fact a really healthy drink without cream and sugar.
@DelusionPosting The idea that a medieval peasant had a better life than a first worlder of today in even a single aspect is completely ignorant of historical reality.
@GhostFoap@dumbtwt7@ma1ybe It's not a system. Hard dangerous labour is the norm, it's existed since we picked up a stick and learned to make stone tools. A well run orderly modern society where most of us do thinking work is the miracle achievement of our time.
@CarlZha That's not true at all, it's hard to believe but the truth is they had a huge agricultural base and sophisticated bureaucratic systems for their time along with mass conscription. Yes some exaggeration existed but there's strong evidence to suggest they fielded enormous armies.
@dumbtwt7@ma1ybe Well yeah because it would be low % at best for rapists, the vast majority of men are not criminals. Meanwhile up to 40% of men are blue collar workers doing the hard, dangerous and exhausting shit that keeps modern civilization humming along.
@Joaxe001@Oldhankdoneit Literally hundreds of distinct people's and kingdoms which were for the most part absorbed into the empire via conquest. As a man of Chinese descent you're delusional if you can't recognise this historical fact.
@peterrhague true, but more roads will never solve the congestion issue. Because the size of the CBD the population (which increases over time) is trying to get into every day for work stays the same. Trains really are a necessary prerequisite for a liveable city.
@htsssebb5543@Nsh288511@thechosenberg Crazy right you said in a normal world it'd be his flat and I just told you that would've been more expensive so let's establish that I have empathy wtf are we supposed to do next? Free shit?
