Li ~ Crystal System@ashleyyrain biggest lie capitalism sells you : "you cant buy happyness"
the second lie it tells you is that said hapiness should come at a cost
@Li that part! mental health symptoms would decrease so quickly with increase universal basic income (ubi), instead of paying trillions for more wars, utilizing funds to create housing so that we can eliminate homelessness, etc.
instead, we’re trap in such terrible economy, jobs being lost, low pay, high gas prices, groceries, bills. it’s ridiculous

@ashleyyrain you see we 'cant afford it' but we obviously can afford to send cops to brutalize people, and we can spend heaps on blowing people up overseas, and even more on tracking their every location and communications of everyone online, and ....
gods can we abolish the state already ffs
Phracker@Li @ashleyyrain
Taxation is only theft when that money is used to help people. Then the people being taxed feel worse knowing that someone else just benefited from their tax dollars because they think everything is a zero-sum game. If it's used for violence and brutality, then the people being taxed can still feel like they're getting ahead.

@Phracker2Art @ashleyyrain tbh taxation is theft, in some sense anyawy; and i dont like taxes (i mean fuck capitalism, fuck money in general, fuck paying a subscription to exist and to not have violence committed against you ?) but .. id also rather we steal from the rich and give to the poor, than steal from the poor give to the rich, to murder the poor; i also would rather not have 'money' at all, or at the very least not "super rich" so yknow, in context that makes a bit more sense
but yeah it is as you say .. most who say that though are completely fine with all of that shit, specifically want to still have a state and this time it only hurts people, and you still have to pay a subscription to exist, you just pay it only to corporate overloads, instead of state overlords; and well fuck that :)
