You'd rather a few hundred families rake in billions upon billions than telling them they've had enough. Every religious tradition, and moral teaching around the world warn against the excesses of hording wealth. You call this advice socialism. I call your love of greed a sin. I guess we should just kill each other and find out whose camp is left standing afterwards.
Don't be offended by the following question

I predict you are resentful of your place in the economic dominance hierarchy. True or false?

Consider that, when our civilization was in its cultural high water mark, all of the art, music, and cultural works were the products of wealthy people contributing to society. Without wealth accumulation, who would pay for Beethoven? Who would commission the Sistine Chapel or the Michaelangelo's David?

Nobody would. We'd all be running around the dense forests of Europe hunting deer and living in huts.


If I was being reincarnated in human history somewhere between the beginning and the end, and all I could do before choosing a spot is know the wealth inequality, I am not choosing the times and places of wealth equality. That would be fucking stupid.

Unless he's living in the second or third worlds, he is at the very pinnacle of the economic dominance heirarchy, the poorest of the poor here, are actually the richest of the rich, they just don't have any perspective, although moms basement Charlie is no poor man, the poor never invoke bolshevism, bolshevism is inherently a paradigm of the elite.

FIshead Charlie in the third world, now he has perspective, which is why you don't hear them Viet Minh crying about opression, they're too busy working to move up in the hierachy, and upon moms basement Charlie, they are closing up quick.

Read the book Lost City of Z. He'd be just like the other gringos escaping into the sea plane that is already taking off with cannibals hanging off the wing tips.

Nobody making less than a NYC lawyer could save 75% of income. The majority of plebs pay 50% to rent.

If a mode of thought isn't serving you, shoudl you cling to it?

Is there a better way to think?
How is this any different from any other cause that we are concerned about?
Your argument is for blind fealty to whatever-the-system-happens-to-be.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

I agree, and GoG is clearly very intelligent, the sky is the limit, so if I am correct and it is resentment, that has gotta go
