You could've just said you were an elistist shitbag from the beginning and saved everyone time.

Edit: you clearly don't know what real life is like. Enjoy your privilege. Gfys

Where is it implied that people won't be working? Just because they are not forced to?

[-] KAtieTot 9 points 4 days ago

Yes I am willing to take less for myself if those in need receive more.

Most people will work if they are able. Maybe we need more incentives for "shitty" jobs, but few people will want to live at such a base minimum level and do nothing. It is however, infinitely more humane than letting them die in the streets

Do you not have a burning desire in your heart to labor? to derive some meaning out of your life? For nothing but your own enrichment or accomplishment?

There is already free and public media access through libraries.

I don't have any sympathy for those who joined from a position of privilege. I acknowledge that is likely the majority of service members.

There's also the many, many poor rural children that join for nationalistic reasons, already far down the path to fascism.

Same as joining a gang. Participate in violence and you get a roof over your head and maybe a couple meals. Wether or not it makes them "bad people" or "class traitors" doesn't change the pressures and incentives at play. There are few alternatives and fewer viable ones.

For many it is their only hope of escaping poverty or owning property. "Convenient" for the state that this is the case.

Desperate people are willing to do horrible things. To what extent are they to blame for being exploited? The state's policies allow and encourage poverty, destitution, and desperation, then exploit it.

I don't think one is just or even absolved by their exploitation, but I can have empathy.

The state doesn't treat veterans much better than dogs. Some get to leave with work experience, savings, and education, others get to crawl in the streets until they starve.
