This is so stupid. No one is forcing you to pay for food, water or medicine. Only when other people have produced that do you have to pay to get it. Its completely fair for people to ask to paid for doing work.

Land is dirt cheap, go buy an arce and live out rural if you dont want to be a part of a society.

You do it first and show us how it could be done. You plannin to dig your own outhouse and drink from dirty ground water?

Also, medicine and medical care cannot just be duplicated by anyone, and million of people are born with disabilities. You sound mentally challenged.

I do this every day when i pick food from my garden. But guess what I dont want to do everything myself I'd rather work and trade my labour for goods.

Yes you can dig your own outhouse and drink rain/ground water you'll be fine. No you dont need modern medicine. Disabled people require care from other people so unless someone wants to take them off grid they are forced to rely on society for support but thats an obvious edge case.

Not all disabled people require carers. I am disabled and still live independantly with a full time job. But i would die without access to doctors and food that i dont grow or hunt myself. It is not an edge case thing either, a substantial amount of people are in my situation. People are evolved to live in societies, you honetly just sound antisocial and ignorant

I wanna invent an immortality serum that only works if your networth is under 10,000 dollars.

Much easier to invent a guillotine that only works if your networth is over 10 million dollars.

Jesus said he found it, but I'm skeptical.

There's a reason they called it enclosure.

Seems very unnatural, yet this is how we chose to proceed. We're fucked unless a new "enlightenment" period comes to save us.

We live in a paywalled society.

[–] Covenant@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

After you die you bring a another pay wall up for your family

[–] HailSeitan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Another word for paywalls is chokepoints

[–] multifariace@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Don't forget the paywalls for paywalls. The fee is so convenient.

And we've been here before, roughly 200 years ago. We already had that wonderful unadulterated capitalism. Then some crazies fought for more equality and while they didn't get there all the way, some of their ideas were fully incorporated into our systems.

And now? Back to zero? Will history literally repeat itself?

This pattern has happened over and over and over, generation cycle after generation cycle. Humans are dumb af and I have given up all hope it will self-correct. Even if we had a global civilization ending event, the pattern would survive. Fuckin humans are fundamentally broken and if my disappointment were tangible, it would collapse under its own gravity into a singularity.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn't go quite that far, but you do you.

Hold on to that hope. Don't become the bitter old man you see before you 😉
