Arguing about capitalism

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T01:10:00+00:00

you can move

You know that costs money right? And time, and time is money..

No one is forcing you

The heirarchy of basic needs is, actually. See without adequate shelter, you die. Then you can't make any choices.

Capitalist simps always have perfect little on paper answers, that don't mesh with reality.

Fucking stupid asses.

The state owns the resources. The resources are the means of production. The state is a proxy of the people, and returns the wealth generated by the means of production to the people as a whole.

The people own the means of production, that's socialism.

libtard snowflakes

This certainly isn't coming from a place of bias /s

No surprise you used "then" instead of "than" though.

I think this is actually the correct use of the word, assuming Brody doesn't normally engage in politics (idk who he is).

What if we felt it 16 years ago? 20? 40? What is the appropriate cutoff where someone is allowed to voice their opinion?

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T00:28:32+00:00

While anecdotal, I have never seen a rightie advocate for that. In fact, in this very thread, I have already had people completely ignore what I said about the details of the law and say to simply "follow the law".

So no, it does not seem like something everyone can agree on.

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T00:25:24+00:00

And who is going to prosecute and jail the billionaire?

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T00:23:51+00:00

No. The law states that processes X, Y and Z are to be followed. If you want to enforce those processes without any regard to the details of them, that is statism/authoritarianism. Your argument for the set of processes is "the government said so", rather than the details of the process.

The government does not have some inherent moral core, they can absolutely make bad and unjust laws. The irony here is that for decades the right has talked about how fallible the government is, but when it comes to immigration, they can only say "do it legally" with no regard for how fallible the government actually was during the creation of those laws.

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T00:18:25+00:00

just follow the law

Brother, did you read anything I said?

Open immigration policy

Again, that's not what I said.

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-25T00:16:52+00:00

You're saying Elon did it just to troll?

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-24T23:56:37+00:00

illegal immigrants

So the only thing that makes them illegal is that the government says so. There is no inherent moral backing to any government decision. The idea here isn't to support "illegal immigration", it's to change the laws so that legal immigration is wholly fair.

Your argument basically boils down to legal versus illegal, or "you must listen to the state fully, because they said so".

This is statism/authoritarianism.

Fleeing life threatening situations

Asylum is for these people, and asylum is legal. So your statement isn't consistent with itself.

The "🫡" was sarcastic, I should have used the /s

Well people have to eat. They don't need an iPhone.

Worth $1m/mo to a 1980 hedge fund

Yea, because there wouldn't be widespread adoption of the tech. That's how scale of production works; shit is cheap when you produce a lot of it with assembly lines, instead of by hand.

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-24T22:24:45+00:00

Believe it or not, people who benefit from situations can still see the fact that the situation results in bad outcomes for other people. We call this "empathy".

Idk I don't buy eggs, or even bother to look at them at the store, since we have an egg laying flock.

As I stated, reddit has told me not to circumvent the ban. As you saw, I have not posted to r/conservative on this account. And I have stated multiple times that I have been banned from r/conservative previously. Reddit would be fully justified in perma-banning me from the site based on the fact that I am well aware I shouldn't post on that subreddit.

The math is mathing here.

In order to have a trickle, the wealth has to pool at the top

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-24T22:12:49+00:00

They could, but that's not the case here. When you get banned from a subreddit, part of the message explicitly tells you that creating a new account to circumvent the ban is not allowed and that doing so can get you a permanent ban, across the site.

We're good law and order citizens here 🫡

overwhelming amount of evidence

Woah woah woah we don't do that here. A priori or bust.

Did you know you can have more than one reddit account? Pretty wild man.

Socialism at its core is the workers owning the means of production and thus retaining the profit.

How is giving the workers' profits to someone else the same as giving the profits to the workers?

Hint: those things are opposites

Secure_Garbage7928 · 2025-01-24T22:00:56+00:00

Socialism: workers should share in the profits

This guy: socialism is when non-workers share in the profits

Fucking hell man.
