@LibertyCappy Nothing.
I have no right to kick him down, nor the obligation to keep him alive.
Unless the reward is sufficiently good and that's free market.
@TITofJones@KyleKulinski Instead of sitting there crying and demanding the state strip away someone else's rights to spoon-feed you, try a novel concept: find a job, learn a trade, and offer your own effortful work in voluntary exchange.
@TITofJones@KyleKulinski Correct. Starvation is not a valid justification for murder, robbery, or forcing others into involuntary servitude. Those who harm and plunder others under the guise of personal hardship are criminals, and society rightfully punishes predators.
@TITofJones@KyleKulinski Food and healthcare are effortful product from other PEOPLE.
No one likes ANY people to enjoy the effortful product of other for free. Unless this person is a huge fun of slavery. 🤣
@TITofJones@KyleKulinski Apparently, "involuntarily" is a concept way too complex for your vocabulary.
But yes, coercing someone to "help others" IS bad. Unfortunately, there are always people who can't survive without weaponizing public authority to enslave others into providing free services.
@ProjectLiberal The American lefts have invested decades stealing the name of liberal, and now they are finally stupid enough to throw it away to use the real name of "socialism".
If a "right" requires the forced labor or resources of someone else to exist, it is not a right. It is a privilege enforced by state power.
Why "positive liberty" is not liberty at all—and how it became the primary tool for modern coercion. 🧵👇
Look at how the narrative of coercion has evolved throughout history:
• Traditional Authoritarianism: "Your labor belongs to the Monarch, because his bloodline is noble."
• Modern Progressivism: "Your labor belongs to the State, because the reasons in its name are noble."
