When socialists call billionaires a parasite class, they're often describing the role they'd prefer for themselves: receiving the benefits of production without bearing the risks, costs, responsibilities, or sacrifices involved in creating it.
The entrepreneur risks failure, invests capital, delays gratification, organizes resources, and may lose everything. The socialist critique usually ignores that process and focuses only on the reward.
What many socialists object to is not consumption without production. Their politics often centers on expanding access to wealth created by others. What they object to is the producer retaining ownership of what he helped create.
They condemn profit while demanding the products, services, technology, medicine, and prosperity that profit helped make possible. They attack the incentives that generate wealth while treating the resulting wealth as something that should simply exist.
The irony is that those most hostile to "parasites" frequently direct their anger at producers while demanding greater political access to the producer's wallet. The dispute is rarely about parasitism itself. It's about who gets to control and consume the wealth once it's been created.
Public safety comes before criminal comfort, criminal convenience&ideological fantasies about rehabilitation
Sane system
1st: protect the innocent.
2nd: remove the dangerous.
3rd: punish proportionately.
4th: rehabilitate only where rehabilitation is compatible w/ public safety
Why has britain tolerated&beurocratically protected the rape gangs for decades, where as in Pakistan these rape gang recruiters would be executed for the same crime. Why is the west so weak that it fails to protect the innocent? Why is "racism" a bigger offence than violence?
If you do violent, vile acts - you should be held accountable, regardless of ethnicity. No free passes for crime. It is disturbing how inverted the west's idea of "justice" is. Western institutions spend more effort&money into therapy for criminals than holding them accountable.
Poverty was the human default for thousands of years before modern wealth existed.
Zero sum thinking treats production as theft and success as evidence of a victim.
@Dave66426026582@ACPMain It is disturbing there are ppl who justify evil bc the victims were successful. Human rights do not disappear bc someone is productive or competent. Slavery is reality under communism. Dare to think independently. Dare to be exceptional in any way&risk being labelled an enemy.
The freedom to expect men to restrain themselves&protect others.
The freedom to live in a society where shame still has teeth&the ability of decent people to live, build, worship, marry, work, walk, and raise families without being sacrificed to chaos of a dysfunctional elite
I think Im leaving the west for an Islamic country. Why? They actually punish criminals. It is safe to walk streets at night. Ppl have moral values, dignity&self respect. They are pro reality&building beauty in architecture&art. Taxes are low. The family is valued. Actual freedom
There is freedom in order that modern Western culture refuses to recognise
The freedom to walk at night.l
The freedom to raise children around shared moral expectations
The freedom to see beauty built into public life
The freedom to have family honoured rather than pathologised
A society cannot run on rights alone. Rights are essential, but they need a moral skeleton. Atm there are no unifying values in the west&as a consequence we are witnessing the rotting corpse of a once great society. It is distressing to watch the collapse. The future is east
The West has become addicted to inverting virtue. It looks at beauty&sees hierarchy. It looks at family&sees oppression. It looks at restraint&sees repression. It looks at masculine duty&sees danger. It looks at feminine dignity&sees submission. It looks at morality&sees fascism
Its a whirlwind difference from the west. Women behave like ladies&men behave like gentleman. Additionally, theres much respect shown towards the elderly,as well as mother's w/ children. Families are highly respected. No drugged out lunatics or drunks on the metro. Police present
Im in an Islamic country, men are incredibly respectful. Women behave like ladies&men treat them respectfully, even if not wearing hijab. Offering seats, not staring openly, helping women with bags or doors&speaking more formally to women. There is a sense of protection&courtesy.
Not to mention traditional family values. Respect for marriage&the family.Women work, as they always have. Men and women work together without western bs tearing them apart. Kids play outside&learn to dig in dirt, learning cause-effect relationships. Parents discipline their kids
I love being in former Soviet countries in the far east. Terrorists&rapists are beheaded. No LGBTQ+ BS, NO critical race theory. Ppl know what is a man&a woman. No one throws a hissy fit bc someone didn't walk on eggshells around their fragility. Much more grounded&common sense
@thedailypolemic@MasterMaliq People quote “let he without sin cast the first stone” but forget Jesus also told her: “go and sin no more.” He spared her from execution, but still held her accountable.
Mercy was not the denial of sin. It was the chance to repent.
