I swear 99% of the time these people that "don't want to work" just have some undiagnosed mental or physical illness that makes working way harder for them than it is for everyone else. And maybe healthcare could help with that?

They shouldn’t get free video game consoles, or candy, or sex or anything.

But everyone deserves healthcare. GFC.

Hell, even if I didn't, the means testing and their errors wouldn't be worth it.

Part of the problem with neoliberalism is that humans are somewhat wired to a gift economy. Part of the right to rule comes from the giving of services and benefits. A Friedman government leaves those less fortunate acutely aware that the government doesn't benefit us at all.

The government's right to enforce property laws in part stems from the fact that part of taxation is earmarked for redistribution. Even kings understood that a decent portion of their job was to attempt to balance the needs of the peasantry and the nobility, because either could cause serious problems when sufficiently pissed off.

isn't mike flood getting paid despite congress going on vacation for the entire month of august (because they didn't want to release the epstein files)?

“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.”

screaming that society is immoral and that family values are going extinct, and laying down for a bunch of oligarchs, corpos and gangsters like the tech bro megalomaniacs , MAGA, and the Russian Mob State, all because you're mildly annoyed about an internet video of a green haired bisexual girl or something, but you can't voice your opinions on facebook anymore because no one will listen to you / you got banned, so you gotta make it your RL personality now

Lol even the work-shy young adult strawman isn't landing

How dare someone who isn't propping up a corporation at the moment exist? FUCK THESE MONSTERS. Glad people are finally waking up to the fact that the "blame your lazy neighbor" strategy is bull shit. Capitalism feeds on labor and gives too little of our value back in exchange.

Surely poor health will help them become a productive little worker drone.

Refuse to get work. *

* they're unqualified for it, or just disabled enough to not be able to properly do it.

Also we just went through 2 mass unemployment events in recent history. This is the pants on fire moment and everyone's talking like it didn't happen

Accelerate class warfare.

If we can't make the rich fear for their lives, at least make them fear for their wealth.

Tax the fucking rich.
