"taxation is theft", the wise man said whilst slaving away for the billionaire man

@karen
Yes, but I'm pretty sure most Western countries have welfare, housing and food support.

@quad @karen
"Hey, if you do this for me, I will pay you." is the same as "If you don't pay, I will lock you up." :bigbrain:

@matrix @karen tfw live in norway and we just handle welfare by profiting off every other country: https://www.nbim.no/en/
@karen @matrix Doesn't matter, that's FREEDOM you see Karen, like I have the FREEDOM to just stop eating and starve to death, or to mutilate myself!

I ONLY understand Negative Freedom because I've never read a FUCKING book in my life, or thought about anything on any remotely philosophical level, because I'm a COWARD who requires a world that can be resolved with mathematical formulae.

@druid @karen I'm no coward! I'm a big boy with a big brain. I hate organized religion but cling on to emotional religious concepts in hopes of living in Star Trek.

@matrix @karen @druid "emotional religious concepts"

it would have just been easier and quicker to say you don't know what the hell you are even talking about
@Majkatsu @matrix @karen No don't you understand? He's seen the LIGHT, he's thinking OBJECTIVELY! Objective perspectives on human existence are completely possible! Ayn Rand solved ancient philosophical puzzles that the finest minds in Greece could only deal with by admitting their impossibility - and she did it with borrowed economics!

That's why "emotions" and "concepts" and other philosophical and psychological concerns are just dumb stuff for fags lol. The meaning of human existence is being confined in your tiny, terrified, shrinking island of inherited culture which you neither appreciate nor understand, clearly. Cobbling together pathetic defenses out of faux-universalist concerns peddled by think tanks from another continent with no social or cultural factors in common. Today maybe it's something he heard from a "dissenting" YouTuber, or read (phrased more eloquently) in a post made by a slightly more intelligent gremlin than himself.

Processes of reflection and contemplation are for losers and so is reading, the way forward for mankind is endless CULTURE WAR! Who cares who or what we're fighting for? If you don't want to be regarded as effeminate, be sure you pick up your weapon without thinking!

And whatever you do - DON'T TYPE LONG POSTS! The more you explain and reinforce your assertions the weaker they are! One startled or amused looking Twitch emoji is worth a thousand words.

God bless this BASTION of objective rationalism! (But when scientific research supports "leftist" conclusions like "fairness is a core mammalian impulse", we can safely discard objective rationalism also.)
@druid @karen @matrix it is sad that people have to even quantify rational and emotional as two axises

the brain is a cocktail-network of chemicals wired differently for different people, but the goal is always the same: reinforce good, punish bad

what is good and bad is either inherited socially or self defined

Praising pure objectiveism is akin to praising pure emotional behaviour, they are both products of somebody being unable to balance two subsets of "feeling" because ultimately nothing is sacred, your brain doesn't care if you're trying to be objective, it's still giving you the little feelings you have when you believe you are right about something emotional

you can tune your beliefs to killing it as much as possible but unfortunately you have a head attached to your body that feels, sees, and thinks things and you're in it, and the same chemicals for why the freehand of the market is the best replacement for a father ever, and why all men should be killed because they fucked up society for 100 years are both exactly the same

It's almost like "objectivism" is impossible and the best way forward is to think about what can be done for society as it is rather than through a bunch of tubes and funnels everyone sets up for themselves so they think the right things and not the "bad ones" like that whole other group that I don't like does

@druid
I've read every book in existence but not Rand because that's dumb.
Because I say something exists therefore it exists and people who dispute it are brainlets.
You can't have universalists approach due to differences in culture, but caring about your culture is dumb because culture changes but culture war is cringe because idiots post on the internet.
I'm an adult who gets baited by emojis.
@karen @Majkatsu

@druid @karen @Majkatsu I completely forgot the last part:
Science says that animals can empathize, that's a leftist idea so everyone deserve free housing, food etc because science says so.

@matrix and then get hired by a different billionaire, because otherwise he wouldn't afford his rent
