Demanding other people take care of you even against their will and using the power of the state to achieve so. How is that not slavery?

- dmitriid 6y agoDemanding other people live in perpetual poverty with no safety nets, how is that not slavery. BTW: Are you American, and do you by any chance identify as Christian? Because I've only seen two groups of people so hellbent on never helping their fellow man. American Christians and American libertarians.
- tick_tock_tick 6y agoYou must have lived a horribly isolated life if those are the only groups you've ever seen this behavior from. Take a look at the EU and austerity measures if you want to see this kind of behavior on a large scale.
- dmitriid 6y ago> Take a look at the EU and austerity measures I've yet to see an austerity measure that strips away even the most basic protections the way US does. > this kind of behavior on a large scale. The US: 40 million people one month away from eviction. 30 million people are one medical emergency away from life-time of crippling debt. Americans: oh, look at austerity measures in Europe.
- OCASM 6y agoCould be that I do want people to improve their lives and just happen to disagree with your methods? No, disagreeing with your must mean I want people to stay in poverty forever... Learn from immigrants: they earn their way to a better life by applying themselves and helping each other.
- dmitriid 6y agoOCASM: Learn from immigrants, and help each other Also OCASM: You can't make me help other people, it's slavery
