@umageddon Literally reality. These people cheer and call you a benevolent person if YOU and ONLY YOU help people in dire straights. The instant anyone suggests systemic help: "COMMUNISM!!! NOOOOOO!" They like individual's doing good deeds because it means They don't have to.

@umageddon "It soothes its adherents with bullshit platitudes of 'equity' through labour blah blah when its meant to make everybody poor under the same umbrella of oppression - aka a small number of people in control." ...You just described the costs of our unfettered US Capitalism, but just applied all the problems of it to communism. Like I'm not even advocating for communism, but it sounds like you literally just described the unmitigated failures of Our system but just put the word "communism" in front of it instead of the system we're under.

@Gfish17 They're saying they don't trust your intentions and implying that you're purposefully here to misrepresent the arguments against you and knowingly lying/playing stupid. I.e. A bad faith actor. Then again if you are here in bad faith, you knew that already and are already pretending to not understand basic shit being stated by your opponents here. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt for a few minutes.

@umageddon "too many people think communism to be a synonym for sharing/compassion and capitalism with greed/evil." Literally no one thinks like this. "Its childish, naive dogma disguised as reason. " I agree, your strawman was pretty much all those things. "Thats why young people are so easily duped by it" Great observation. 10/10, genius as fuck take.

@umageddon Great comeback. Truly worth the gibberish ahead of time.

@umageddon Interesting response to being so flagrantly wrong and just being mocked for having a blatant victim complex. Any thoughts on the thread, or is "haha u mad" about all to be expected from you?

@waterfrodo4304 "That sounds very antagonistic to other Christian denominations." Good. Jesus wouldn't have wanted you anyway. If the idea of helping the least among us is anathema to your version of Christianity, then good! You're not following Christ's teachings in the first place, no one should feel bad for opposing you.

@waterfrodo4304 "Do you agree then that people should love billionaires and pray for them, because entering eternal life without sin is more important than having welfare on earth? Or should you get violently mad at them and flip their tables?" Jesus did the latter. And he was right to do so. Stop defending corrupt rich assholes ruining lives.

@umageddon Prove your bullshit claim first.

@umageddon "ill just say it and pigeonhole you: you're young (under 40)" Ah yes. Young now meaning "Under 40". Fuck you must be a walking corpse if you consider 40 young. Is this supposed to be proving something? Technically correct though, 29. "consider yourself a communist" Well now we're 1 for 2 because nope. Don't consider myself a communist. "and believe anyone who thinks capitalism is the best system we have to govern the commerce of everyone is a racist, fascist POS" Lol, wow such a victim complex on you. No, I just think you're an idiot. Nice attempt at lazy character assassination, but the only thing you got correct was "I'm under 40." Take your meds grandpa.

@umageddon JFC this is tedious. Fiiiine, I'll humor you and play your stupid game. Capitalism is a useful tool for short-term expansion and wealth distribution, particularly for luxury items where I'd imagine its value will never truly go away. However if allowed to be unregulated and used as a Political system instead of the Economic system it's supposed to be, it just creates monetary-based feudalism and plutocratic oligarchies if left unchecked for too long, as evidenced by the fact that Wealth has more control over our political system as Americans than voting does. It is not nor has it ever been a tool of freedom or liberation or political advancement, and is often the final excuse For oppression and abuse (See the slave trade, early Industrial Revolution child labor and wage slaves, and the entire modern contempt for doing ANYTHING positive for anyone else without a "for profit" motive behind it). Once again, it's an Economic tool, and the only value such tools have is "wealth generation" as the primary motivator. Useful for creating a flow of wealth and resources in the short term of history, but a dangerous wildcard that only helps the corrupt if left completely off the leash longterm. Like any tool, it's only as "good" as the people using it.

@umageddon "no mention of it allowing us lowly peasants a chance to profit on our own labour without the states totalitarian intervention? aka freedom from oversight of 'authorities'." Considering it's been entirely hijacked by the oligarchs and feudalism-minded rich authorities again, not really something I'm seeing now. Short term, sure, I won't disagree with you that it made a lot of new wealth. But 200 and change years later y'know what we've got to show for it? A new crop of oligarchs and nobility we're all shackled to. Meet the new tyrant, same as the old tyrant.

@X2LR8 "People should certainly have the freedom to buy up as much property as they want, rent out those properties and generate profits for themselves so that they can enjoy the good things in life. " Good job defending corrupt rich assholes who have too much. "Society really isn't all together as one. Each person and family works for themselves and their generations that follow." Speak for your fucking self.
