delicious and proud consumerism

When you give poor people money and they buy food with it, that employs farmers, truckers, and grocery store clerks.
Further, when a government agency exists to administer that aid to the poor, the employees of that agency are able to buy things like houses, food, clothing, and cars. So if you are in the business of selling houses, food, clothing, or cars to them, your hard-earned tax dollars are coming right back to you.
Something tells me the author of that wouldn't extend the logic that far, though.

Also, a pretty central concept in socialism is 'surplus value', the fact that workers aren't payed what they work is actually worth. To write such a screed, without mentioning surplus value, just goes to show that the writer knows shit.

He's not too bad on Capitalism, but his socialism knowledge is less than zero.

To be fair:
'when you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self-worth'
― Mark G, Thursday, 11 August 2016 13:36 (nine years ago)
Wd also think if that someone is in some kind of suffering due to need, giving them the thing they need could bring back their dignity and self-worth

have a nagging feeling their only actual beef is with religion, and that they don't know what metaphysics is, so insulting philosophy too is really just padding that they wouldn't even agree with if they thought about it for five minutes.

"The only rule is work. We're breaking all of the rules, even our own rules. There should be new rules next week."
I'm comparatively amenable to touchy-feely creative cheerleading stuff, but to me that just sounds like a formula for anxiety.
The typography there only enhances the effect.
