Nina… if history has taught us one lesson clearly, without equivocation and repeatedly…

They will choose not to listen… until it is them that “they” come for.

@NerdyBirdie @mekkaokereke look, if these people are literally straight up going to f*cking murder me to appease literal f*cking nazis, then they ARE going to hear about why that's exactly what they're doing while it happens. I don't care if they like it, and while I know it's not a solution, there is only ONE solution to fascism and I'm not allowed to open fire yet. Let me yell while I'm clocking time till they come to literally f*cking kill me. Thankx.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @NerdyBirdie @mekkaokereke that's the problem, we are not allowed to open fire before they are in charge. And later folks will say "why haven't you done anything?"

@Dingsextrem @NerdyBirdie @mekkaokereke Man, and I ain't picking on anyone in this thread, but you know for a fact that if we started fighting back, half these libs would VOLUNTEER to hunt us down for the nazis as some sort of olive branch.

@AnarchoNinaWrites You put in your Bio you're against Capitalism, that would make you far, far left.
Yet you talk about the libs hunting you for the Nazis, that would make you far, far right.

Just looking for your actual view.

@Mor696 @AnarchoNinaWrites You CAN be against capitalism and not be far left. It’s just so hard for most of us to get the indoctrination out of our head that public school put there about being a loyal pawn for the 1%. That’s what got us in this mess and it’s why Republicans always put the socialist label on anything that helps people climb out of the rut they’re in. It works almost every time

@bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites

I'm sorry but without capitalism there is little incentive to work. It wasn't capitalism that got us where we are, it was greed.
It started with Reagan. He cut taxes on the rich from 70% to 37%. He also changed tax law that allowed the rich to have huge deductions before tax.
The "Trickle Down" economics that we all knew at the time would never work. And they didn't!

@Mor696 @AnarchoNinaWrites That’s just the point: pure capitalism doesn’t work because of greed just as pure communism doesn’t work because of greed and mistrust by some people.
There is middle ground but human emotions stirred up by lies keeps us from equilibrium. Some of those lies are the result of racism

@Mor696 @bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites no incentive to work? You’ve clearly never met people. If we had a universal basic income to cover everyone’s needs, people would still work, because human beings derive meaning from work. You just won’t see people putting up with shitty, pointless jobs.

@cadenza @Mor696 @AnarchoNinaWrites Very true. The first people who farmed and gathered their own food didn’t have a monetary incentive. When they had excess, they bartered with others for different things that had intrinsic value for their needs. Only when the concept of currency came about did it foster greed because more value was put on overseers with whips than those who actually did the work. Today we call them managers and CEOs. Our values are misproportioned.

@bouriquet @cadenza @AnarchoNinaWrites so work or die?
Comparing people from 300,000 years ago to today is a stretch at best. Items of value were first used around 5,000 years ago. Money, like we have has been around since about 600 BC, so 2,600 years ago.
The last company I know of who shared in profits was WestJet. As an employee you were given shares. Then they could buy more. B/C of that WestJet was noted as the best airline in the world. Employees were working for themselves in essence.

@cadenza @bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites

Quick question.
Where does the money come from to pay the universal basic income come from without capitalism, thus taxes, to pay out the money?
I understand people very well. 30 years in the military and 15 years as a shift supervisor / manager, I can tell you a portion of the population is bone idle lazy.
So to pay those people without any expectation is just foolish.

Show threadbouriquetApr 23, 2023
@Mor696 @cadenza @AnarchoNinaWrites The entire monetary system is upside down. People who make less than $100k shouldn’t be paying taxes. Companies that benefit from all the things government provides for them, like roads, air safety, food and drug inspections of products they profit from. They should be paying for those services so we’re safe. If we paid into one nonprofit healthcare system, insurance companies wouldn’t need to pay stables of attorneys, no collection agencies

@Mor696 @bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites and I would tell you that you have a distorted view of humanity. Many of the people in the military aren’t there because they want to be in the military but because they see no other economic choice for themselves. That’s probably the “laziness” you see. It’s hard to be motivated to do what you don’t want to do but have no choice but to do it. Furthermore, as someone who struggles with executive dysfunction, that isn’t laziness either. And yeah, maybe some people are actually lazy. So what? It’s not like we have enough work for everyone to do. But the majority of people do want some kind of work to make their lives meaningful. You just wouldn’t have the threat of destitution to force people to do scutwork.

@cadenza @bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites

Wow, you are really out there!
How many people have you been the manager of in your life? I'm going to say exactly zero!
My experience is not only military but also 15 years in a factory.
The distorted view is yours not mine. Unless a person can advance in a system then there is no incentive to work hard. Simply having a warm place to live & enough to eat is not the incentive enough to work hard, unless you don't already have that.

@Mor696 @bouriquet @AnarchoNinaWrites actually, I have my own film production company. And if you think the majority of people are lazy ne’er-do-wells, that speaks more to your poor management skills and inability to hire good people than the general work ethic of people. You are exactly the sort of personality that people HATE working for. No one wants to work for a taskmaster. In my experience, people tend to fulfill the expectations you have for them. So the best way to get lazy, unmotivated employees is to assume that everyone is lazy. Anyone who doesn’t require a taskmaster to fulfill work obligations will quit as fast as they can in order to get away from you. I’m quick to fire people who don’t meet standards, but I’ve only had to fire a few. If you expect a certain standard and trust that people will meet it, they usually will.
