I-I'm NOT a jew!!

ShadowDimentio

I'm going to college, but no.

ShadowDimentio

No I know it's a CHRISTIAN name but Davide doesn't sound like a name at all

ShadowDimentio

Is that a jew name? There's no way that's a jew name.

nah bro im just jealous that i am getting 1% back on the labour that i produce. i should just stop crying and become rich because its as easy as that lmfao this is like a litmus test for people whove actually worked a significant part of their life vs people who havent Just saying fam being seethin...

ShadowDimentio

So you're just jealous someone has life better than you then? That's not healthy. I don't really care if someone makes 10x 20x 30x of what your average middle class worker makes, it's life that those who are more skilled/try harder should make more money. Nobody is arguing for communism but wealth ...

ShadowDimentio

The only complicated thing is the justification. The cause is plain jealousy that someone else has more than you.

This is jealousy. You're jealous the 1% are getting 99% of the wealth, while you're only getting 1%. Those tensions you're talking about? All jealousy.

ShadowDimentio

So you're just jealous someone has life better than you then? That's not healthy.

The middle class is growing worldwide my child

Also if your solution to poor people is to make everyone equally poor by redistributing wealth examine yourself

ShadowDimentio

Communism is bad. Wealth redistribution is bad. Next question.

ShadowDimentio

90% sure the way the economy is currently set-up would make UBI a pipe dream, or devalue currency so much as to be worthless This. Until we're truly in a post scarcity world, UBI would never work as to provide it you'd have to tax businesses to fucking death or print enough money to fill it that th...

We do not need more people. At all. It doesn't do anything good for the common man

Workers are a resource. As supply goes up value goes down.

1/4 of the worlds population is still employed in agriculture. EDIT To clarify, 1/4 of the total people employed work in agriculture roughly according to the world bank. Yeah and the vast majority are in places where automation hasn't hit yet, like Africa. Virtually nobody works in agriculture in t...

ShadowDimentio

It is, but those minimum wage jobs aren't coming back once the hammer of automation falls, and then instead of them having a shitty job they'll have no job. Throughout the centuries jobs have slowly been automated. Everytime automation increases other jobs are opened up. You are the kind of person ...

Minimum wage increases cause cost of living increases If the average spending power increases, the average price increases as well Noticeably worse in cities where the cost of living is already fucking ridiculous for the worse conditions you get I used to believe in increasing the minimum wage but ...

I don't get that phrase.

Off ya got me, guess I gotta submit to tyranny then because they changed the laws.

ShadowDimentio

I used to believe in increasing the minimum wage but my economics professor explained in class once that doing that wouldn't help people not be poor. If guns control was brought into law and you weren't allowed guns would you turn them in. Fuck no. Civil disobedience time. Or plain civil war. Eithe...

Very rude tbqh I'm a good boy

ShadowDimentio

Yes that is an accurate description of Jim Crow laws, but drug criminalization isn't that. It's a law change that effected EVERYONE, not JUST blacks, and last time I checked you can still definitely go to jail for weed possession even if you're white. That being the case, I have no issue with the la...

ShadowDimentio

I don't approve of that but that's very obviously not being used by the standard police force because they can't enforce laws they don't know exist. Further pretty much all government hearings for pretty much anything are open to the public. You're not likely to get blindsided by a law and disappear...

ShadowDimentio

It's different to Jim Crow laws because they apply to everyone instead of just blacks. And the three strike laws are even easier to avoid, just don't break the same law three times.

ShadowDimentio

Maybe so, but the law is the law and you're expected to follow it even if it is dumb. They knew what they were buying was illegal and if they got caught they'd be in trouble.

ShadowDimentio

They already are. There's all sorts of prison labor gigs all over the place, it teaches them useful skills and makes use of them. A win-win for all involved. There used to be one up the road a ways that my dad used to work at as a supervisor.

ShadowDimentio

Weed is an illegal substance (except where it isn't). If you don't wanna get jailed for possession don't possess it in the first place.

ShadowDimentio

Yeah back in the Jim Crow era, but those laws have long since been removed and these days the overwhelming majority of people in jail were put there for, y'know, doing something wrong.

ShadowDimentio

>Prisoners are modern day slaves

Hot take

ShadowDimentio

Illegals are just modern day slaves.

I mean only if the government actually somehow passes a ban on guns despite it being a hysterically unpopular issue

ShadowDimentio

The US government has contingency plans for everything. I'd be surprised if they don't have a plan to deal with such a scenario (mass police action backed by the army with nation-wide unrest) Also it wouldn't be like "every single gun must be confiscated or the operation is a failure", if...

ShadowDimentio

You don't send cops to confiscate guns, you send FBI SWAT teams, the army or the national guard, it would be a military operation coordinated between combined arms supporting each other to minimize fatalities and guarantee speed and efficiency. But this is an old chestnut, "the army wouldn't f...

ShadowDimentio

Yeah I glanced through that list and a whole lot of them seemed to not so much be school shootings as shootings that took place at/near a school. There's a difference.

ShadowDimentio

I-it's not like I like you or anything bro! N-no homo!

ShadowDimentio

No homo

ShadowDimentio

How DARE you agree with me you FAGGOT

ShadowDimentio

More the free speech thing than the knives thing (though they're both fucking stupid)

ShadowDimentio

Along with everything else, apparently.

ShadowDimentio

Unsurprising, what with how the media refuses to fucking shut up about them. If you shoot up a school you get to be on the news for anywhere from weeks to years. Not an unappealing prospect to any mental case kids that want attention.

Well if you told me you were on the side of the school shooters I might have started this conversation differently.

I'd like to reiterate that I love how you completely ignored what I said in my post and went to and instead went "but look sometimes they save lives too!". I didn't ignore what you said. You were getting at how banning guns would make things better. I countered by asking about the other s...
