Don't get me wrong.

You are not the first person to say things like this to me by a lot. And I am honestly interested to know where these opinions are comming from.

@realcaseyrollins @leyonhjelm @Mac_CZ
Alright.
I know that righ getting all of the money sounds intuitive, but I honestly have no idea how can your model of economy even work.

So, If I sound condescending in this comment, it is only because I am trying to describe every step.

The only way to "get rich" is to generate value for others. Each coin a rich person has is from a transaction. They had to offer something the other person valued more then their money. Now, that the rich person has a money suply, he can do 2 things.

Buy a yacht or pay his employees.

If he buys a yacht, his money leaves him and he can no longer generate value. He becomes effectively poor and has to start working as soon as he runs out of food.

On the other hand, if he pays employees, he is organiying production that would not happen without him. Each employee is better off working then unemployed. Then, he has to figure out the way to distribute his product and finally, every piece of his product must provide value to each of buying customers.

The way to get rich is to make life of people around you easier, not harder. That is how the economy should in principle work.

Obviously, there are government-supported monopolies and anti-competetive practices, but this system still works enough to get us from desert to artificial biome known as cities with shops at every corner.

Honestly, sometimes, I even try to drop non-woke hints at work just so other know they can feel safe to talk to me.

It feels like I'm asking to get fired every single time... Paranoia is a powerful tool

@coolboymew i find it weird how these companies just keep trying to appeal to sjw with these ogre like designed characters, even now that resident evil 8 got tons and tons of free publicity just because the first boss was a hot tall women

are they actually retarded or what

@realcaseyrollins @Tripp
First off, horrible wording, but we are getting to a core of an issue.

In short, it is a paranoya protocol.

Now to the long anwser. Do you know why everyone has to wear a mask in the public? Because it's a law designed to make people terrified. What happens, when you have 2 people in the room. One of them is crazy and the second one doesn't wear a mask? The crazy starts attacking the peroson without a mask.

Easy enough. Now, here it gets truly terrifying. What happens when 2 normal people are in the room, but both do wear a mask? They cannot tall if the other one isn't a virus worshiper. Both are terrified of the other one.

Now, let's kick it up a gear. Let's say, you have a leftie agressive group of religious warshipers of massaquering childern? let's call them trans activists with pronouns in their bio. If you see them, you RUN.

Now, do you want everyone to add pronouns to their bio? It will cause paranoia. Noone will feel safe around you. It WILL COUSE MASS PARANOIA

@ChristiJunior@neckbeard.xyz @realcaseyrollins @Hope_report It gets worse when they start listing disabilities, sexual orientation, race, etc. Like we need to know every part of your identity. Just list male or female and leave it at that.

@stux
I still have to take it more seriously then anything star-trek related from the last decade though...

And I love it.

@realcaseyrollins @Tripp
Not only is that not an argument, it's a sentence that does not even relate to the topic. You can do better then that.

At least I hope so...

@Dude
If concept of centralized government survives through this shitshow, then human race truly does not deserve to continue.

@realcaseyrollins
I wanted to anwser, but if you refuse the anwsers below as: I believe that {indulging in politically motivated massacre of language with primary effect of alienating social groups} is a good thing, then you left no space for reasonable debate.
