Your freedom is contingent upon your usefulness to rich people.

You are not a slave.

You always have the freedom to choose to starve to death.

Collecting taxes from the wealthy "under threat of the gun" = Coercion

Extracting labor under threat of starvation = The "free" market

“It’s wrong to take money from a rich white man.

It’s okay to enslave Africans to run your economy”

-Capitalism

How broken do you have to be to look at this and think "Thomas the Tank Engine is a Randian parable"? Let me break it down: Henry was such a prissy little bitch-boy that he wouldn't come out of his tunnel to participate in community life (much like your relationship with your parents' basement). Eventually, something happened that actually impaired his ability to participate in life outside of his tunnel, and he came to understand that he had made a mistake in passing the opportunity to show off his "green paint and red stripes," which in the comparison is your flaming homosexuality. It's a fairy tale for children, not the dreary Marxist claptrap you live by because you've never had an actual purpose.

All of this is to say that you should really go outside once in a while. The world's not that fucking bad, and you'd know it if you weren't miserable troglodytes.

Imagine using the word Marxist unironically to describe modern leftists.

I'm not the one who jumped straight to class reductionism.

Awww man those are bricks

Bring back immurement as a punishment.


Amos - 2023-02-22

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

It's like you people are forgetting the basics here.

"In the USSR work is a duty and a matter of honor for every able-bodied citizen, in accordance with the principle: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat"." --Soviet Constitution

Sir Topham Hatt, notably, does not work in the little story; he has a note from his doctor. Unlike Henry, however, he suffers no consequences from his idleness. Someone who owns capital does not need to work under Captialism*. Someone who only owns their own labor power has to work or starve. Hence, you know, why they call it "Capitalism." Seems antithetical to basic Christian principles but what do I know.

*I know a couple of people who have big generational money, one does improv theater and works at an artisanal chocolate shop, the other does gymnastics and stained glass and poetry and works at a farmer's market 2 days a week in the summer.

Existence isn't voluntary. Nobody asked to be here.

To say a being created against their will owes society something and society owes them nothing is monstrous.

Also, what kind of evil asshole builds a sentient train then denies it freedom?
