Peating in poverty

Lol at this thread. It validates every prejudice I have against poor people. They are usually inferior and unable to gain a skill and live productive caring lives. Also, Germans should never attempt humor.
Another thing a poor person can do is to have a higher-fat diet. If you can get 30% of your calories from coconut oil, then you will be able to save quite a bit of money.
you're uncool
i dont mean that as an insult
but you're just not cool. you're cringe. you will probably think im attacking you or something. but when you are out and about and you see a guy with friends who is well liked and handsome and at ease, you might think to yourself how he got like that. it's because he doesn't think and behave like you. you might be "good looking" but I am 100% positive you aren't handsome. you are "rich" but you aren't elite. you're a pleb with money. -
@LetTheRedeemed the amish and mennonites and farmers would probably feed someone who asked. try asking the store manager of the corporate grocery store to front you a sandwich until you get paid the next day and let me know how it goes.
im an ardent hyper-capitalist and even i know know stealing food is morally ok in corporate society. i presume we are talking about getting food from aldi's here and not the local amish. if the local council bans backyard chickens or would prosecute you for having a milking cow, then stealing from the grocery store is even more acceptable.

The world is becoming ever more capitalistic and uncertain.
In a few ways I appreciate your exhibitions Norway. However.

You're advised against projection in scripture for a reason. Introspect to arrest or go broke. And stick around, wealth for another can be made of either.

The real question here is: Why aren't your parents working over the summer if they are broke?
-
@Kilgore They are poor because they deserve to be poor. They live in a free market and complain about the lack of handouts. Almost all poor people are the same.

@Norwegian-Mugabe you’re Norwegian, right? Hasn’t Norway had a universal basic income for several generations now? Do you think that could skew your perception of how hard it can be to overcome the psychological obstacles adjacent to poverty?
I have family from the “great generation” who worked harder than anyone I know, would never take a handout, and some climbed ladders out of the hard labor industries into prestigious office and institution, some worked hard their whole life participating in construction of iconic parts of America, but died in relative poverty only because they only understood hard work, and not the principles of management and multiplication. All good church going family people.
I understand choice and consequence, but I think charitably to the psychological state of people in a cycle of poverty, to be good and beneficial to the bearer and recipient.

I actually suggested in my first comment that he reach out to small businesses/farms for help/food. I don’t disagree that a corporate store probably won’t help (even at that, the dominos I used to work for wasn’t beyond giving extra pizza when we had it, if the hard luck story was convincing).

Ah maybe there’s your error
and even i know know stealing food is morally ok in corporate society. i presume we are talking about getting food from aldi's here and not the local amish. if the local council bans backyard chickens or would prosecute you for having a milking cow, then stealing from the grocery store is even more acceptable.
I didn’t address it when ThinPicking corrected me on the capitalism/corporatism distinction, but I will here.
After years of my defending the Austrian economic arguments for capitalism, and likewise distinguishing corporatism from a capitalist society with rules for fair play in business, I found a few errors.
The etymological definition of capitalism, is merely the supremacy of capital accumulation; it is not "may the most efficient and wisest outcome of resource allocation win". In fact, it was used as an insult by reactionary conservatives in the 1800s for that very reason.
“Corporatism” is intended to demarcate “fair” capitalism from “rule breaking” capitalism.
Fundamentally, they both undermine social orders for the virtues of arbitrage, so both end up ordaining wealth accumulation above other values - corporatism is just the capitalist formalizing the power he stole from traditional or indigenous hierarchical structures.
Theft is more efficient than honesty. One hundred years of Capitalism convincing us that our selfish ambition is a more valuable social structure than other virtues (sanctity, family, duty, etc) tells Nietzsche's “last man” that he should probably steal that cheap item because the punishment is low and the purported victim indifferent and unaffected.
Again, the actual victims of petty theft is as much the social fabric of society, as the business owner with insurance and who perpetually increases prices (ultimately making a third victim - the noble poor).
Sorry OP for participating in turning your post into a twatter fever dream lol

Sources and history to one side for a muse.
That a corporation is a legal person (payout in litigation) with limited liability (payout in backruptcy) is bound to create some (very interesting) behavioural distortions with compounding effects. An illicit house party if you will. Love em.
Pulling the rug on that would be a complete disaster. But a little over a certain revenue. Seems sane. Maybe worth a chat. What would I know. Armchair economics.

@CO3
I’ll recommence this conversation in person. I’m in DFW, Texas. Let me know when you’re here.The war cry - cluck, rather - of a true coward. "come at me irl bro"
how about you come at me ONLINE

@CO3, A bit of power outage, firewood chopping, and a coming of age across-the-nation road trip with an old school widower who’s crusty around the edges and has a begrudging soft spot for rambunctious inner city youth, would do you good

If you're going to shoplift I think you should at least do it with a sense of confidence and/or disregard for society and individuals, trying to justify all your actions from a moral lens just makes you seem insecure (not accusing anyone in particular of that). You're already committing a legal crime, just own up to it. "N-no, I am ENTITLED to this thing, you see! Society owes me this!" not a dignified way of standing up for yourself.
On a different note I used to think petty thievery was the "good" type of theft, because who cares about a bag of doritos? But after dwelling on it a bit I realized it was the more daring and intelligence-gated acts of theft that merit some admiration, and display a certain exertion of will over the world. Petty thievery just makes you seem, well, petty. Like a homeless loser who doesn't have anything better to do than to pilfer sloppily.

See the thing is I neither do it out of a deep moral conviction nor a disregard for society. I just think "ohh that would be fun if I didn't have to pay for that, and the corporation that sells it can go fuck themselves".
It's cool because I can judge how well my metabolism is doing by how ready I am to shoplift. I will not dare to when I'm in a bad state but when I'm doing good the thought enters my mind and it's like I have to do it.
Both paragraphs above are part of a novel I wrote called "God, Masculinity, and Why Target is a Great American Institution: My Dark Journey Into the Evil World of Shoplifting"

@Tahodama Have you discovered the perfect crossover of Nietzsche's final man and ubermensch???

Hey Jannie @NotShanalotte any rules against advances from creepy old gay guys? because there should be

@CO3 a movie trope as old as time -- double check your humors

Boys. This is not far off Gatz/Redsun tier scrappin.
Some here will know the community meme.
-
@ThinPicking I call Gatz!

@CO3 Nope. Rules are no threats of violence, no spam. To be clear, the moderation rules I follow are from the head admin so I'm only the messenger. If you can't handle the banter, the "Block user" function works just fine.
Now that I've clarified the rules, if you have a serious concern, use the Report function in the future.

@CO3 It does not look like you will get to experience any communism in Germany in your lifetime. Half of the young voters in Germany are already voting for AFD
. Your disgusting bitch wife will be deported back to a shithole where there is nothing to redistribute. She will need to read this thread to learn about peating in poverty 
Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.
Ignore, judge, overcommit.
