@oceania2385 "produces beggars" Isn't substance abuse... it's capitalism.

@chrispeck308 You: "I'm not ideologically tied to capitalism in any way." Also you: "I'm sure however many beggars are theoretically produced by capitalism, would be exponentially dwarfed by whatever hair brained idea youd come up with to replace it." You are tough to take seriously.

@chrispeck308 "capitalism" Cares about money and nothing else. "would be exponentially dwarfed..." I propose housing is treated as human right not that you care. Money ruins everything and capitalism is trash.

@chrispeck308 "All they need is housing." That is not what I said. That is but one example for an economic model known as socialism. I suspect if you had something to say about the things I've actually said you would have gone with that rather your "sophisticated" strawman argument. "Have you ever spent any time with the down trodden?" Yes. "Their problems are way deeper than housing" True. They are living in a sick society that has been corrupted from top to bottom by money and it's influence. They live with a for profit health care system that cares only cares about making money and would actually prefer to have an unhealthy society to make money from them rather than very healthy unprofitable people. "it's beyond laughable to think that's the solution" I'm not going to lie this is hilarious from a big fan of capitalism such as yourself. "Do you think offering a completely useless ideological diagnosis of the problem" I'm confident it's better than shilling for capitalism like you are. "followed by an obviously ignorant solution, suggests that you somehow care about those at the bottom?" Yeah. For one I acknowledge their suffering under the current capitalistic system and seek to change it while you are here advocating for the status quo and attacking people wanting real systemic change. "Or do you just take any opportunity you have to whine about capitalism?" Acknowledging your problems is halfway towards defeating them. You are suffering from what's known as dunning-kruger.

@chrispeck308 "you said nothing about socialism" It's literally an example of socialism. It's literally an alternative to capitalism. "I fail to see how my response wasn't to what you said." Even after I took the time to explain? Sadly that seems plausible.

@chrispeck308 You: "I'm sure however many beggars are theoretically produced by capitalism, would be exponentially dwarfed by whatever hair brained idea youd come up with to replace it." ""defending the status quo" an honest representation of what I said?" Really? FYI capitalism is the status quo. I shouldn't have to explain this. "I don't think I'm the one overestimating my intelligence" I know I can be condescending but at least I don't lie about it like you are. Lastly... stop editing your comment to add large amounts of things repeatedly like you are. If you want to add something then you should be responding again.

@chrispeck308 "keep reaching bud." Keep advocating for the status quo while lying about it. I know you will. "radical change will do what you claim," Imagine thinking that treating things like housing and health care as a human right wouldn't improve the lives of the peasants like you are. How deeply unserious you must be. "isn't the same as defending capitalism," You are defending capitalism. And you are doing it in a world where there is a homeless epidemic in the richest nation in the history of the world. You can advocate for change like I am or you can advocate for the status quo like you are. But I wish that you could at least be honest about it. You can't even do that.

@chrispeck308 "isn't the same as defending capitalism," Imagine acting like "I'm sure however many beggars are theoretically produced by capitalism, would be exponentially dwarfed by whatever hair brained idea youd come up with to replace it." isn't defending capitalism like you are. It's really dense even by internet comment section standards.
1
@chrispeck308 "isn't the same as defending capitalism" You weren't even sure what my "hair brained idea" was apparently because I didn't use the word socialism to describe it and still you knew it couldn't possibly be as good as capitalism. But yeah... nOt dEfEnDiNg CaPiTaLiSm.

@chrispeck308 "willful misrepresentations" You mean direct quotes where you express your love of capitalism? I'm done wasting my time addressing you. Good luck advocating for capitalism and the status quo and then lying about it in the future.
1
@chrispeck308 "That doesn't make me an ideologue willing to defend it to no end." You are such an ideologue you said any alternative would be hair brained and now you are lying about it. I have an ideology and it includes socialism. I also have have intellectual honesty, something you don't.
1
@chrispeck308 "you don't have to prove that beggars are inordinately produced by capitalism?" I suspect I'm obligated to prove my beliefs as much as you are. Actually since you are already getting what you want as you are advocating for the status quo it really should be on you to show how the system is succeeding. Is it? Or is there an epidemic of homeless? Of beggars? Of mental illness? Maybe I don't have all the solutions but I absolutely know the current system is failing while you are a clown.
1
@chrispeck308 I quit. If you were trying to destroy my faith in humanity you have succeeded.

@Jensth "dictorship" It's telling that you have to strawman my argument instead of addressing the things I'm actually saying. You are tough to take seriously. "GUARANTEE" I don't guarantee that you are paid for you silliness but I do suspect it.
1
@Jensth "show me a socialist country that is not a dictatorship and not capitalist" Why should I have to? Do you just have zero imagination? And zero intellectual honesty? So that is why you are strawmanning the things I'm saying instead of addressing the things I'm actually saying? Do you have to show me a capitalist country that isn't a corporate dictatorship ruled by money? Because just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the things you are actually saying because I'm not a clown.

@Jensth I literally don't have the desire to try and intelligently respond to your crap much less read it. "Socialist revolutions always lead directly to hell" Meanwhile I currently live in capitalist country that feels like I'm living in a dystopian novel but I'm not suppose to worry about socialism to clowns like you. Nope. According to unserious minds such as yourself I'm instead suppose to worry about your fearmongering instead of what I'm actually experiencing. I should just ignore the fact that capitalism only cares about money. "starvation, stagnation, poverty and war. Historical empirical evidence show this, without a shadow of doubt" History has shown us without a shadow of a doubt that capitalism is fine with all of this... starvation, stagnation, poverty and war as long as someone is on top getting rich but you don't see that, acknowledge that or care about it because you are not a serious person. I hope you are paid for this. I really hope you don't understand all the obvious things wrong with the things you say. You are impossible to take seriously. "starvation, stagnation, poverty and war. Historical empirical evidence show this, without a shadow of doubt" FYI social security is socialism. You should be able to tell because it's part of the name but you are so unserious I doubt you even realize it. And all that socialism is a good thing while you moronically act like it would cause the downfall of society.

@Jensth "Socialist revolutions always lead directly to hell" Imagine being so unserious that you act like social security is what's wrong with society. Imagine thinking a health care system would be better if it were capitalist. You are f'ing clown.

@Jensth " free schools and healthcare." It's called socialism dumbass. "A capitalist country does not have to be a coorporate dictatorship" Meanwhile, in reality, the person who spends the most money wins about 90 percent of the time. That isn't democracy. That's corporate dictatorship and that is what ALWAYS happens... but hey prove me wrong if can. Show a country where the candidate spending the most doesn't win. Show me an actual democracy. I know you can't but that isn't actually what's wrong with all your nonsense. You are wrong because you have been so brainwashed into the cult of capitalism you can't even imagine any other system.

@Jensth "Capitalism is not the problem." Yes. It is. Capitalism will not give you food if you are starving because their is no profit in it. Capitalism will not heal you if you are sick because there is no profit. Capitalism will not house you if you are homeless. Capitalism only cares about accumulating wealth. Money and capitalism ruins everything.... but hey as long as you have enough money you likely don't care about all the suffering it's causing.
