The message is that you deserve nothing and must earn everything, not that there isn't enough to go around.

Well you dont deserve anything that someone else has made...

Then go live in the fucking wood like your caveman ancestors so you can truly live of everything you made yourself.

Society is built on the shoulders of those before them, that they themselves built on the shoulders of those before them.

Stop being a dick and go help someone in your community, you will probably learn a thing or two.

If someone creates something to trade it for goods and services, thats fine, even if that means its free at the point of consumption.

If someone creates something for their own reasons, you have no entitlement to it. Please try to be less emotional with your responses, this is a discussion platform meme page after all.

Your initial point is that no one deserves what someone else did. My counter point is that since the dawn of humanity, every human has used someone's else idea or tool to make their life better.

So yeah, you owe it to everyone around you for the lifestyle you have right now.

I think you two might be working with different definitions of deserve

You're on Lemmy.

That's not the message either. There are homeless shelters, mental and health services, and affordable housing being priotized all over.

Necessities are in large free to those who need them. Nice to haves and luxury beds are not.
