My second favorite meme.
My all-time favorite meme
I’m not denying anyone the necessities of life. I’m denying that anyone has the right to take them by force from someone else. Food, water, housing — these don’t appear out of thin air. They exist because someone grows, builds, refines, and delivers them. To say people are…
Your argument is ridiculous. We decide as a society what we are going to expend our energies in support of. Shall it be war, or shall it be helping our citizens live lives of dignity and prosperity? Your 'parasites' justification for denying the essentials of life is claptrap.
If capitalism had failed, none of those things would be rare enough for you to notice them. People used to die from everything, curable or not. Children used to be homeless by default. Parents used to work from sunrise to sunset just to survive. Capitalism did not create those…
if capitalism had been successful...why are people dying from curable sicknesses? ...why are children homeless? ... why are parents not having time to their kids because of their work schedule?
One of the great myths people believe is that wealth is like a fixed pie. If someone gets a bigger slice, that must mean someone else gets less. But that is false. In a free market, wealth is not taken, it is created. One person becoming rich does not prevent another from doing…
Lol
Jerry Springer and Piers Morgan both made their careers by handing microphones to society’s bottom-feeders, but the difference is moral clarity. Jerry paraded degenerates like a human zoo, but he knew they were scum, you knew they were scum, and the entire spectacle was a kind of…
People should make every effort to contribute to society by being self-sufficient.

@ACPMain @InfraHaz (aka the psychopath) @EdbieLigerSmith (aka the tool) A brief tutorial 👇 Stop trying to rule people. It’s a losers game. Rule yourself.
Capitalism has been so successful at eradicating poverty, hunger, and hardship that it gave rise to a generation utterly detached from the realities of production, trade, and effort. They’ve grown up in comfort, surrounded by abundance, and instead of gratitude, they respond with…
My grandparents in the USSR were scared to be late to work because you could get sent to a forced labor camp for a few instances of tardiness. Just sayin'
I've worked 12 hour shifts for weeks on end w/o a day off. You know what capitalism does in that case? You make a shitload of money. My personal best being $4200 gross per week while it was going on.
Autocracy is anti-capitalist. Government collusion is also anti-capitalist. You're blaming economic freedom for barriers to economic freedom.
Universal Basic Income is only inevitable if the collapse of civilization is inevitable. In a healthy society, people do not need to be paid just to exist. They are free to think, create, produce, and trade with one another in a system built on mutual benefit and voluntary…
When you think about it, Universal Basic Income is inevitable.
If Israel had the morality of its enemies, the war would have been over in a weekend and millions would be dead.
Ah yes, “slavery” — where you're free to start your own business, choose your employer, negotiate your pay, or walk away at any time. In reality, what you’re upset about isn’t slavery. It’s the fact that no one else is your slave. That no one is forced to feed you, clothe you,…
The opposite is the case. Under capitalism the majority (workers) are effectively slaves to the minority: capital... and if you can't discern that, you are not worth conversing with either.

It’s a curious thing, how the fellow who screams loudest about “greed” is always the one with his hands out and his pride packed away. He’ll sneer at the man who builds the well, bottles the water, and lays the pipe, then call it justice when he demands it all for free. You see,…
More capitalist brain rot: "You have to pay for water because some capitalist did the work to create it."
Socialists: We need to put people over profits. It's the compassionate thing to do. Everyone should have their basic needs met. The basic needs: Food (but not just any food — it must be locally sourced, organic, sustainable, cruelty-free, and not offend any cultural…
Just a hunch, but I assume this means more than just free water?
You think you should pay for something that you need to live????
