also should be clarified that I am not any number of honey badgers in a bear costume. aubfuscates on occasion. yes I know it’s not actually spelled like that.
@0xDavecryps Go live on an island and find out how much work it takes just to EAT. Then build a home, learn how to medically treat yourself, rear your own children, and take care of your parents.
You aren’t entitled to ANYTHING. What you take for granted and consider rights are LUXURIES.
Women, quite literally, outperform men in almost everything.
Patriarchy exists to protect men from that fact. It, quite literally, insulates the weaker sex.
Survival is not a given, it’s something that requires work.
Capitalism organizes it effectively.
Socialism tries to outsource the needs of the many to few.
One is free exchange.
The other requires enslavement and theft.
Capitalism is not freedom. Free is not having your life depend on money.
We are not free
We can't afford housing
We can't afford food
We can't afford healthcare
We can't afford childcare
We can't afford senior care
Free is not being charged to survive.
This is dumb.
Survival takes work. Capitalists understand and streamline it to make survival easier and better and people more free to enjoy life.
Socialists want someone else to do the work of survival for them. That’s why communism always ends with forced labor and misery.
Capitalists actually believe people exist to serve the market. If a person cannot serve the market in a profitable way, their life has no value.
Socialists also believe the market exists to serve people. If a market cannot serve the people in an equitable way, it has no value.
The Venn diagram between people who think you should get fired for using the R word and people who think you should be able to euthanize your child if it has Down syndrome is almost a circle
Pets are also proof total dependence means total lack of liberty. Someone literally decides if they can afford to treat your medical issues then does or doesn’t. Someone else decides what you’re allowed to eat. And it’s the luck of the draw who you end up with making your choices
Pets are proof that you can provide housing, food, healthcare, emotional support, and daily entertainment for someone who contributes absolutely nothing to the economy.
Leftists labor constantly under the cartoon delusion that rich people have vats of money just sitting outside the economy. This is why the modern left is just full of unserious people.
Children who never grew up.
@omgsidewalks Simple: they’re more productive with the money than the government. And more charitable, to boot.
Government is rife with waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d rather creators continue creating better things rather than funnel it into the deep pockets of corrupt lobbyists.
Next.
Billionaires don't create wealth. They accumulate it, hoard it, and waste it on vanity projects. The people working for peanuts, struggling to pay the bills, they actually create it.
“Capitalism made your iPhone.”
No, LABOR actually did. Labor makes things under any -ism. The -isms only just determine who is paid and how much they’re being paid.
