Stop making excuses. If you don't take a stand and do something on principle instead of your pocketbook, then Unity is not the problem, you are. Whether you want to accept it or not.

You can go get a job at McDonald's and survive. You can't use your circumstances to justify enabling evil anymore. Not with me.

No, you're literally not listening. I proposed not one but two pragmatic suggestions to implement what we're asking for, and instead of thinking about what I'm saying, you're just laughing me off and dismissing me because you don't care about having an honest conversation. You're just here to vent your emotions and pick on left-wingers who you view as beneath you.

You forget that my suggestions aren't actually for you. They're for the benefit of everyone else in the thread. You're nothing but a springboard for us to jump off of to think and actually make what we want happen.

I guess sitting on your rotten, cigarette hole filled couch in your rotting Alabama trailer and putting down anyone who is different from you is better than actually doing anything to better your life. Like getting a GED, or actually doing honest work instead of living off of government benefits and hypocritically attacking anyone who supports government programs to help the needy like yourself.

I don't judge you though. ๐Ÿคท

I'm confused, are we assuming a peaceful implementation of these policies or for them to be put in place by a new government post-revolution?

Honestly, even if we replaced current employment with a 10-year indentured servitude contract with a guaranteed 1000 sq. ft. home and free utilities and maintenance for the rest of your life, that'd still be better than what we have now in a lot of ways.

People only like the system we're in because it provides the illusion of choice, not actual choices.

Don't worry, we will. You'll likely end up coming to us with a hand out when all's set and done, so it all works out.

Or just build a neoagrarian economic system that doesn't require people to be coerced into doing shit jobs, as they now have high technology to help them build their own shit.

Even septic tanks could be dug, installed and pumped through automation if we all branded together and invested the time and effort into building it instead of being discouraged by people like you.

But you know, why try? After all, someone has to be a slave so let's keep enslaving each other so you can be comfortable, right? Fuck everyone else. Only you matter

Having bureaucracy managed by an AI with everything heavily encrypted would put a stop to a lot of bullshit. Just saying

...And by then, it'd be too late.

People need to organize now, not just to prep for violence but to ensure there's some kind of social safety net to fall back on when shit hits the fan.
