I love the term "active slacker"! 😆 I used to work with such a person. The bizarre thing is that if he'd put as much effort into working as he did into avoiding work, he'd have been quite productive!

@carkawalakhatulistiwa I have literally no idea what your remark has to do with my original comment. Just to set you straight on a couple of points, though: I never said capitalism is "better"...I don't know what you mean by "better"...all economic systems have their faults. Capitalism has been willingly embraced by far more people throughout history than communism, however. Western countries utilise resources from the Third World, and in return give financial, material and educational aid to the Third World in order to drag it out of the neolithic age...generally fruitlessly, it seems. The US has the biggest national debt of any country in the entire history of the world...I don't think you can claim they have vast reserves of money.

@brainbah If we want to eat, we're all forced into a job in one way or another, regardless of what political system we're under. You know how the old expression goes: "Communism is the exploitation of man by his fellow man, and Capitalism is the exact opposite."

@kitkat47chrysalis95 I'd say he was poorly adapted, since he's dead now...too many smoke-breaks...

@justicar5 ??? What are you talking about...??? Not the same thing as I'm talking about, it seems...

@brainbah Either you've misinterpreted what I wrote, or you have have an extraordinarily naive/idealistic outlook on life. You'll probably feel a bit different when you get your first job.

@brainbah OK - let's break this down to a level so simple even you can understand it: Tell me what you think I've said/done that's "racist". Can you do that?

@888ssss How public-spirited.

Wow! starting work at 7am is kind of rough...what time did they knock off...?

@brainbah Judging by your woefully infantile and inept attempts at "sarcasm", I suggest you're the one getting triggered, not me. I suggest you make your explanation for accusing me of being "racist" extremely convincing, or I report you to YT. I await either your apology and retraction, or yet more farcical and damning word salad.

@888ssss Where are you from?

@888ssss Are you a communist?

@888ssss What is your stance, then?

@888ssss How do you make a living by minding your own business?

@888ssss How do you square this with being an "active slacker"? Or, more to the point, how do you get away with being an "active slacker" in an essential industry?

@ForageGardener If you want to think of "debt" as "negative money", then I guess in that sense the US does have vast reserves.
