Anti Stupidity Capaldi

35 year old male who can't stfu, making this sideblog to argue with feminists and SJWs, but also conservative zealots.  Mostly conservative zealots, these days.

No. You dont pay people to exist for the same reason you dont feed the bears.

[teaboot]

Yeah man if I give the 50 year old lady at my bus stop some spare change for fare and a meal she’ll lose interest in foraging for desiccated salmon carcasses and lose her natural fear of people. Next thing you know she’s in the suburbs, running around on all fours trying to eat a corgi

What he’s getting at, you facetious dick, is that if you pay people to exist, they will have no motivation to do anything, which leads to more and more people in that lifestyle until it becomes unsustainable. When the system inevitably fails, they can’t take care of themselves because they’ve been paid for their whole lives and don’t know how to work. I’m all for social services, but even I am willing to acknowledge to risks of having no checks to them. People like you are insufferable. Also, just 👏because 👏you👏call👏something👏a👏right👏does👏not👏remove👏scarcity. We can say this is all well and good, but good feelings and intentions do not make resources appear out of thin air wherever they are needed. Yes, we should strive for that goal, but in a responsible way.

he is right tho. not the one above me tho. 

we have a restaurant somewhere here in Brazil, maybe it’s São Paulo or Rio, where everyone can eat but it costs 1 Real, if I’m not mistaken.

if you just take, but never give, how else will these people, from the restaurant, maintain the place? only in the mind of stupid people this would work. It’s the “equal pay for everyone” all over again. 

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

A form of Universal Basic Income has been implemented in a few different places around the world and had no significant impact on the workforce. A small handful of people quit their job to go back to college and work on a degree, but people weren’t just quitting their job to become couch potatoes because they’re getting government handouts. Believe it or not, people want to feel useful.

(Mongolia, Iran, and I think there was a city in Alaska that tried it)

So this idea that giving people the basic means of survival just for existing will create a society of lazy good-for-nothings isn’t based on anything empirical, it’s just your own fears and paranoia.

[a-carnie-and-a-cop]

“Believe it or not, people want to feel useful.“

and you’re stupidly naive.

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

I'm citing verifiable data and you're ranting about your feelings. I'm not the naïve one.

Also, you're devolving into ad hominems, so that kinda proves you have nothing to back your position with.

@therealsmokingleather okay but it's true. Just because it's a government agency doesn't absolve it of its terrorist actions. Did you actually watch either of the videos I linked? At least watch the 2nd one.

[therealsmokingleather]

Sorry. I am not up to argue tonight. Also I've recently decided that Vladimir Putin was, most likely, a CIA pupit at first and that, by his causing the election of trump he was turning control of the United States government back to the CIA once trump had been removed from office. **working theory only**

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

I'm not asking you to argue, just asking you to watch the video. I can recommend a few podcasts, too.

Of course @zelsbels-official blocked me like an anti-intellectual coward. Always has been an incredibly unintelligent and cowardly little toad.

[frauchun-racun-deactivated20220]

Boi tens of millions of people starved to death under communism. Shut the fuck up.

[silent-calling]

To paraphrase,

"Communism is about the abolition of private property to communities, giving that property to governing bodies (local, regional, state, and/or national) to assess adequate use of, and making sure everyone has their needs met."

Except that's never happened under a communist regime, ever. Every single time it's been attempted, the bodies stack up and the bread lines wrap around the world, metaphorically speaking.

[nunyabizni]

The government nationalizes everything in the name of the people and then decides how much of it they will let the people have. This isn't collective farms, it's the corporatism people claim to hate taken to the largest extreme possible because the the government becomes the corporation and it in turn owns everything in the country, theoretically in the name of the people. but that's a lie

[frauchun-racun-deactivated20220]

Say it with me:

Government approved cheerios.

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

This post is CIA propaganda so good you should all be asking to get paid for it.

"Beware communism, folks! You let communists come to power next thing you know we'll be standing in breadlines!" *meanwhile people are literally standing in breadlines in Texas*

The thing y'all are missing with your jingoistic rant is the context that leads to so many Communist party controlled countries into economic ruin. It all comes back to the world's largest, richest, most successful terrorist organization. That's right, everytime a country tries to nationalize even a few of its largest industries, the CIA steps in, trains and funds right-wing revolutionaries to overthrow democratically-elected leaders and installs right-wing dictators who will be puppets of the US. Then the US government makes sure that from a very young age US citizens are indoctrinated to believe communism is the worst evil in the world, and American intelligence agencies are real life superheroes. The CIA has their fingers in so many pies you would not believe me. And I'm sure you actually won't.

But Philip Agee, a former CIA operative, has come forward with his stories about the corruption and lack of accountability in the CIA long ago. Here's a 25 year old video all about it.

And an even better and more detailed breakdown comes from the brilliant youtuber Second Thought, who I'm sure you'll accuse of being "biased" just to discredit him without having to refute any of his points.

[therealsmokingleather]

Well that's edgy on the both sides.

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

Mind if I ask what you mean by that?

From Kasia Babis.

[jackalopc]

whenever someone is like ‘why do burger-flippers deserve to make the same amount as x?’ and i just ask ‘have you considered that maybe x deserves to be paid more?’ because it never occurs to people that if these people are being underpaid, then there is a chance that so are they.

[zooophagous]

I see this all the time with people bringing up paramedics. “You want 15$ an hour as a burger flipper! I made less than that as an EMT!”

Yeah and it was wrong to pay YOU that little too. You got overworked and underpaid and the amount of money the McDonalds employee in the drive through gets has no bearing what so ever on what an EMT makes. Pay the EMT more too.

[saint-batrick]

it distresses me that anyone whose job it is to save my fucking life is making less now than i was in an office job in 2007.

Don't trust polls, either. Not ones that say he's winning (so it's no use) or losing (so it's in the bag).

in fact, FUCK POLLS IN GENERAL

Vote

[anti-stupidity-capaldi]

Also, do not throw in with a centrist. Non-voters don't come out for centrists. Nominate the most radical candidate you can in the primaries, and I think you know who I mean.
