Knew what to expect. Clicked anyway. Wasn’t disappointed.
“Anyways
working 40 hours a weekMORE THAN DESERVES food, shelter, health care and education”RADICAL LEFTIST spotted /s
also *anybody
This is the distinction we need to focus on. These things are human rights and we are all in for everyone!
There’s no need to stop one to get the other. Getting people to accept any working person deserves their basic needs met is a stepping stone to getting them to believe everyone deserves it.
anyway like you. jesus i’m trying to be racist here
Came here to make a post before you guys showed up and I was still too late rip
I see the wording as even by your own logic, we’re failing (or further: meritocracy is a lie, American Dream is dead etc) similar to the “so we can take care of our own” comic.
Why again aren’t we building an alternative right now? As soon as I pull off passive income, I’m devoting my time to making a big fuck you to this system, it is my life goal.
From what source do you plan on getting a passive income?
Investment I’m afraid. It’s hard to even think of the other alternatives (developer, blogger, etc) while working 6 days a week. But I can certainly just earn a ton of cash, then earn a nice return on it.
Though it’s risky, just saying it won’t work, and I can’t, will sooner get you nowhere than doing something at least.
"Whoa whoa whoa! I can totally see your point but you have to see the realities of today’s economy let me just quickly explain them for you blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda yadda
Tl;dr the billionaires won’t give me their petty cash if I start taxing them :(

No one deserves anything, stardust doesn’t become important just because it forms a particular structure.
Dangerous precedent to build your philosophy on.
If no one deserves anything, that includes people who already have money. Why not tax every billionaire at 1500% and give that money to other people? Stardust doesn’t become important just because it forms the structure of a billionaire.
But why stop there? Why have government at all? Why have law enforcement? Why not just do whatever we want to, to whomever we want to? Stardust doesn’t become important just because it forms the structure of a legal code.
Nihilism requires anarchy to be logically consistent. And if nothing means anything, that includes your property and personal rights. The fact is that, in order to operate in this world at all, we have to value some things, and at least most of the people have to agree on most of the things we’re going to value. On a basic level, that’s how complex life has always functioned. On a more esoteric level, that’s our species’ evolutionary advantage: society.
Right now, the West has decided that we’re going to value capital (and, in some cases, even just the idea of capitalism). Some people are saying, no, we should value people over and above capital; they’re facing a fight, not because nothing matters, but because the people in control have decided that only their financial enrichment matters.
you know, nothing in the universe has inherent value, not even your comment. it’s our interpretation that gives it value
I acknowledge your absolute nihilism, but I strongly believe in the existence of something more than just the physical reason in that sense. I believe in the existence of ethics, and with that tool I support human rights in all their forms.
You’re right! They actually earned those things.

…you know, I only get flak when i say “fuck white people”, when they are the only group that gets to “choose” their handicap…
Yeah, that might be because you’re maligning a group of people based on the color of their skin. That’s generally frowned upon.
…why would that be bad? white people have been doing it for centuries…
That’s such an incredibly self-defeating argument I don’t even know where to start
There’s a level of dumb that you don’t argue with and the best move is to simply walk away.
well i haven’t
Self burns are rare. You just admitted you’re no better than someone from a group you hate.
…i hate no one, but yup…
I think you dropped this ( /s ) on the previous comment maybe. lol
Wdym by choose their own handicap?
no other group gets to “choose”, you’re black not nigerian, you’re asian not taiwanese, white people Re dutch or english, or german….brown people are mexican, or islamic….don’t you get it?..
The Nigerian family I knew was definitely Nigerian.
Unless…holy shit, they were actually black the whole time!?
No way, dude! How could they be both black and Nigerian? Impossible!
…i love the downvotes, it means i’m corect…human beings subdivide without any merit….they are racist by nature….
I hope you’re just trolling, because if not, that is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Meanwhile in another universe “No one voted on my comment, therefore they’re ignoring me because I’m right”
And in another “wow that’s a lot of upvotes, I knew I was right!”
Your logic elsewhere may or may not be sound but your diagnosis on why people are voting the way they are is clearly not.
Those who share such opinions are not known for being particularly intelligent people. They’re mainly governed by fear and the demonstrated self-protection mechanisms.
by fear
And surprise.
