I think about it almost every day. What I mean is absolute poverty (African kids starving etc). They say there are more slaves now than ever before and due to the population boom I can only imagine that there are more starving kids than ever before.
I know people who still have living memory of not being able to afford anything working at sweatshops and if they're lucky, studying at the same time (usually medicine, accounting, law etc) and who migrated out and became successful.
Then I see pics of kids and parents looking like absolute shit in 3rd world countries and it makes me sad for 5 minutes and then I forget about it because of saturation and me being desensitized. I could donate but really what's the point in that? It all seems so futile.
I think about how poor people are violent little savages and am glad they're going to be exterminated by robots taking their menial labour jobs and then gunning them down in the street when they get uppity quite often, yes
Dominic Allen
The thought for today is one which I discovered in Epicurus;[1] for I am wont to cross over even into the enemy's camp, – not as a deserter, but as a scout. 6. He says: "Contented poverty is an honourable estate." Indeed, if it be contented, it is not poverty at all. It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. What does it matter how much a man has laid up in his safe, or in his warehouse, how large are his flocks and how fat his dividends, if he covets his neighbour's property, and reckons, not his past gains, but his hopes of gains to come? Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough.
Thomas Howard
thx buddy that is depressing. I guess, just thank your lucky stars every day that your not one of them.
Luke Lopez
The best way to solve the problem is to abolish capitalism and replace it with socialism.
Charles Wright
I donate for Medecins Sans Frontiéres
I recommend you do the same
Josiah Robinson
most of the poverty right now is because of the people having low IQ and not being capable of making a civilization.
They also being held up artificially by white hands instead of being allowed to return to their natural, berry picking, occasional fishing mean output for food.
Zachary Perry
that contributes to the overpopulation
Noah Reyes
>this coming from an American lol no charity is the PRODUCT of capitalism. Helping others is a luxury and capitalism can afford that. Yeah. I don't know who to thank. Is it God, my parents? both? In my opinion, it's pretty hard to rat out rich people when you have 50 diseases in you, starving and in constant pain everyday. You make is sound like urban poverty but I'm talking about skin and bones no clothes drinking cow piss poverty
Grayson Cook
The best way to solve the problem is for these countries to eliminate their big governments and embrace free market capitalism.
Jackson Hernandez
Hows Somalia doing.
Ryan Williams
>In my opinion, it's pretty hard to rat out rich people when you have 50 diseases in you, starving and in constant pain everyday. ? what does that have to do with anything
Henry Allen
africa has the highest GDP growth rate of any region, but per capita GDP is actually decreasing due to bacteria-like exponential population growth
if they stopped breeding at a rate far higher than their GDP growth can support, they would be middle income countries already
they're fucking hopeless desu
trying to help these people will only make the problem worse
Tyler Diaz
>they live in poverty and starve yet their population booms
I don't understand
Ryan Brooks
the best solution is actually to let all the niggers starve
also a lot of the asians perhaps and the other nations who breed based on the amount of food that they have.
Justin Hughes
you might thank all, as long as you thank someone. your very lucky.
Easton Parker
Maybe the starving, impoverished parents shouldn't have chosen to have kids.
Chase Russell
In socialism we could all work less and produce only according to need. We would have more to give to other nations without the bourgs stealing our labor. We could also be less wasteful. We have enough food to feed the world its just not profitable to do so.
Gavin Miller
Unfortunately not well, but what can you expect from the product of a failed socialist state, followed shortly after by local warlord authoritarianism and Islamic Sharia rule.
Mason White
Every year 80 million new humans are born into poverty. In an already existing world of almost 4 billion in poverty (earning less than 2 euro a day)
What are possible solutions?
I would say mass sterilization of sub 100 iqs
Aiden Wright
too many people donating and trying to help them
Jose Bailey
>when the second richest country is rated as mostly unfree and you use this as evidence that we should hail the all mighty free market.
Carson Fisher
They are not really poor as long as they can breed.
Can't say I want to live around Africans but I do feel bad for them. might have the right idea
Leo Wright
Look at GDP per capita you doofus, the peasants in China aren't seeing any of that wealth.
Cooper Roberts
Australia, New Zealand, Singapore. Hong Kong and Switzerland are the only places worth inhabiting on this planet. 4/5 of the only non shit holes in the world are in Asia pacific region. Americas and the rest of Europe get BTFO
Alexander Cooper
Well, some people reproduce beyong their capacity to feeds... nothing you can do about it, the more you feed them the more they reproduce and the more you need to feed them... repeat until you cant anymore and deal with the mass starvation..
Carson Gutierrez
Yes. Also children who are abused by the rich and these elite types. Very sad to think that so many people can just be okay with it, too. God help em
Levi James
capitalism in china has brought more people out of poverty than all world aid combined in the last 100 years
Mason Morales
There was a time when it was legal to bring them over to america, and give them food, shelter and clean water in exchange for a little bit of labor out in the fields.
Liberals, however, have outlawed all such arrangements. As usual, liberal policies hurt those they claim to help.
Charles Wood
>African kids starving That's why we have to stop immunizing them and start sterilizing them, m8.
Kayden Hall
How did they turn a nation of illiterate peasant like Russia into a a world power on par with the USA in like 50 years with 0% Economic "Freedom" (Freedom to work or starve)
Josiah Bennett
All the "donations" are just disastrous. They swamp the natural economies of poor nations and force everyone to become dependent on handouts. You can't sell grain to people who are getting it for free. For some reason , being stupid and poor makes you far more likely to reproduce also. That is the root of the problem.
Jack Brooks
Most of the USA is great, just avoid leftist states and big cities. Switzerland is my backup plan if this place turns into a leftist hellscape. Australia is okay but it is far too restrictive on guns.
Juan Martin
>we could all work less and produce only according to need >We would have more to give to other nations
how would we have anything to give to other nations if we are only producing according to our need?
Aiden Brown
"Need" is not an independent variable, you fucking moron. Go ahead, give sub-80 IQ retards plentiful food and shelter and watch as society's "needs" multiply exponentially while its actual productive capacity remains the same.
Matthew Bailey
I agree, to a certain extent. If you mean national socialism I fully agree. (((Socialism))) is bollocks but I do agree that our system is bound to collapse, debts keep increasing, jewish capitalism as a whole destroys humanity instead of elevating it.
Jose Bell
no, i dont really think about that kind of stuff. i mean its too bad for them theyre broke but at least im pretty rich.
Leo Jackson
Imagine if they had embraced free market capitalism as much as Hong Kong, they might beat the USA as the global world superpower.
Jayden Diaz
Aren't the only states that aren't a burden to the rest of the country, Texas, New York and California ?
But yeah our gun laws suck, haven't had a mass shooting since though, so there is that.
Luis Thompson
Yep, Aids was a medical failure, it should have been designed to kill much faster!
Aiden Johnson
the needs of the world.
Mason King
>on par with the USA Lmao
Benjamin Gutierrez
Hong Kong really was the perfect example of a libertarian society. It was the greatest social experiment run on this earth to date, was incredibly successful, and then the britbongs gave it back to fucking China and now they are fucking it.
Kayden Perez
Not really but I think about animals that are tortured and killed and it make me cry
Joshua Lewis
truth
Christian Green
they niggercans are also called r strategists
they, unlike whites, are almost exclusively r selected. By natures design.
People in Africa and Asia have needs as well. In the world socialist republic we could make according to what is needed not by what is profitable. We have a ton of homeless people and a ton of people-less homes due to the inherent contradiction in making for exchange and not use.
Evan Hughes
>haven't had a mass shooting since though
You've been lied to. >Ingleburn shooting >Port Lincoln Wharf murder–suicide >The Curtis Cheng slaying >Moama drug deal shooting >Logan shooting >Hunt family murders >Sydney Siege >2011 Hectorville siege >Monash University Shooting
I took care to only list the massacres involving firearms.
Anthony Hernandez
so you enslave your people to provide for everyone else! genius
Lincoln Smith
Mooi inzicht
Jaxson Jenkins
This is from Seneca's "Moral Letters to Lucilius." Along with Zeno, Epictetus, and the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, Seneca is one of the most identifiable Stoics. Seneca's comment that he is "wont to cross over even into the enemy's camp, – not as a deserter, but as a scout" references the competition between the Stoics and the Epicureans (who were, in many respects, diametrically opposed in their philosophies).
I, too, am fond of Epicurus' concept of contented living. Through limiting our desires, we may achieve tranquility. It almost seems obvious. But to what, then, should we devote our time? Do we become apathetic -- no longer to strive for things? Here, we turn back to Seneca and the Stoics, for they thought that a good life had to be virtuous. Act justly; help your fellow man following the accords of Reason.
Therefore, this is my answer to you, If you find yourself "impoverished," think, as Seneca recommended, on if you have what is necessary. Food, water, shelter. Good health. If you have these things and still feel impoverished, then you must limit your desire. Instead of seeking more for yourself, go out and live virtuously: help these people that you see in true poverty. Do this, and you will live a rich, contented life -- and help others to do the same.
Daniel Gonzalez
No its a world wide system. also >implying we don't live in a slave society in the form of wage slavery
Zachary Walker
>I could donate but really what's the point in that?
Here's one...
What do you get when you feed 5 million starving Ethiopians?
50 million starving Ethiopians.
Feeding these miserable sub-humans is NOT the answer. Only the long hard road of evolution and natural selection will either get them up to speed with the modern world or make them extinct.
Either way, the more we interfere with their natural order the worse things get for everyone.
Charles Evans
how does this army come about and who enforces it?
Bentley Lee
I said mass shootings, I looked at the ingleburn shooting, as I had never heard of it, and it was a murder suicide. Are you just linking gun crime or actual mass shootings? Because yes there is still gun crime, very little of it, but mass shootings? The latest one that might be a mass shooting was probably the Sydney siege but that was also a terrorist attack.
Camden Cook
This all could've been prevented if we just minded our own fucking business and let third-worlds figure it out themselves. Intervention and humanitarian aid has done more harm than good to Africa and the Middle East. Now, the damage has been done, and our only choice is to continue supplying these dying populations with money and food as they breed themselves into poverty.
Kayden Fisher
You're gonna have a hard time convincing people to lower their family's living quality to help some african guy over in Somalia, it's much better to convince businesses to invest in those regions, and in so doing create jobs, infrastructure, and safety over there.
Of course, businesses won't invest if they get regulated and taxed to the dirt, which is the fault of those countries' governments. So until they change that those countries aren't going to improve.
Jacob Carter
>haven't had a mass shooting
Niggers and MS13 gang members shooting multiple people don't count then, only MKULTRA half retarded white shooters count?
Samuel Perez
the funny thing is that it took us 50k years to get from near niggerdom, of that of hunter gatherers to what we are today. Probably 100k years for niggercans even.
So technically speaking, it would be much faster to kill them all and to import whites into africa instead.
Luke Torres
> They say there are more slaves now than ever before and due to the population boom >I could donate
Donations from Western nations caused the population boom. Bleeding heart liberals only enable suffering and the increase of slave labor. Stop being sensitive and let nature take its course. The biggest mistake humans ever made was eliminating natural selection from our species.
Tyler Ortiz
Oh, sorry, I was looking at gun massacres, not mass shootings, my bad.
Evan Adams
We don't need to lower our standard of living we just need to stop producing useless junk and be less wasteful.
Parker Myers
What army?
Leo Carter
the way to solve this is to develop their countries, and to do that you need to colonize them. Colonized African countries like the ivory coast were more developped than non colonized countries like Liberia.
Easton Harris
they need to be allowed to die back down to manageable numbers that can be sustained without sophisticated agriculture. Black should be allowed to live in their natural state.
Robert Russell
What? Use your words billy-bob-joe.
Michael Young
Which will lower our standard of living, if you only want there to be one cheap car, one cheap cereal, and one cheap type of clothing available then okay and it will raise the amount we can give to other countries, but that is in fact lowering our standard of living.
Angel Cox
Let me tell you a story
In my town, there are signs everywhere "don't feed the birds". Of course, people can't resist it. So every summer tourists come and go out to the lake throwing bread to all the birds.
Then when winter comes, the tourists leave. The birds have multiplied like crazy, but their food source has disappeared. What is the result? Lots and lots of dead birds.
Does this story have a parallel? I'll let you be the judge
Nolan Kelly
I think about poverty.... then I remember most of it's in Africa, which is full of blacks.
Nothing of value lost.
Tyler Reyes
If you care about the needy start locally. Do some volunteer work.
Sometimes I think about it too, but in all due honesty, Im rotten to the core and just cant get myself to help others lol.
OR could we just remove the restraints holding the civilzations down?
Hunter Johnson
>Do you ever think about poverty? Nope, I have no reason to. I'm not in Africa, I'm in the best nation on Earth. >population boom They wouldn't be so impoverished if they learned how to conserve and farm, saving up and then having children when they are stable enough to feed and shelter them. They're niggers, and liberal by nature, so them breeding and dying has no effect on me. They bring it upon themselves.
Chase James
IMO Africa is too far gone since most of them wanted whitey out and as a result have poor organisation of everything. The only solution is to wipe out sub saharan Africa or turn the entire subsaharan place into a farm. You're more dealing with how to survive than the big bad capitalists That's the thing. A lotta African countries are growing but they don't know what condoms are so demand > supply and back to square 1. Literally Malthus cycle of misery. I mean come on at least China was able to get their shit together. sex is fun and free and children are just a nuisance (their mentality) Dunno about Asians, a lot of them are doing quite well now except for poo in loos :) I wonder why poor people or starving people breed a lot? Is the "help me on my farm" meme still a thing? But socialism means you're the jack of all trades and master of none. Someone will want something extravagant, you won't have it and they'll look for another supplier. I don't blame the babies but if I'm poor as shit, I would not want to bring another life in this world knowing I can't take care of them. But these people view children mainly as commodity. sex is fun and free. Of course people will do it no matter what. Isn't it? That Malthusian theory seems to really be playing out. Yeah, that's why it's more about changing the mindset of these people but old habits may die hard The thing is there are more poor people than people who are not poor. Trying to empathise with them is like trying to attend everyone's funeral. You can't do it. What was it called? I feel like we need education but if they refuse to change, then sterilisation it must be done youtube.com/watch?v=mzyaa2tfwBk Again education. Donations only prolong a problem if the people are not willing to change
Bentley Martinez
Taking most of the 1%'s wealth won't really effect the 99%.
Gabriel White
and how are you going to enfoce your political ideology?
spoiler alert: genocide
its always the answer
Robert Martinez
Not my circus, not my monkey.
Nicholas Clark
...
Jason Stewart
You are dumb, kill yourself or lurk moar faggot
Easton Peterson
It will drive out the business and the jobs, as well as lead to lower growth overall for the economy since the people who spend that money on new factories and business to hire people and sell stuff no longer have the money and will either leave to different country or go out of business.
Jacob Wright
Oppression against the bourgeois. When the world wide permanent revolution comes the working class becomes the new ruling class and oppresses the bourgeois.
Daniel Gray
The solution is cleansing. Destroy all those african nations, kill them all. Not doing so is cruel, allowing more and more generations to go through the agony of life in those areas. Kill them all, claim their land and use the resources to make life better for the survivors.
Samuel Watson
Fk off
I'll feed them when I own them. Can't feed your kids don't have them or get a doing stone and kill it.
Adam Thompson
>When the world wide permanent revolution comes the working class becomes the new ruling class then they get opressed and have their wealth redistributed and the cycle of murder continues
Nathaniel Brown
Niggers aren't even human
Nicholas Gray
The only way to socialism is a world revolution so they will have nowhere to go. And yes they will go out of business they will be replaced by society owning everything and localized workers management across all nations.
Landon Morales
See: Venezuela, USSR, Cuba
Most of the 1% are in the 1% because they created the wealth. Take it away from them and they will go elsewhere and create the wealth for some other country.
Evan Cruz
Yes. The workers oppress the bourgeois. thats the point.
Blake Gomez
Cant we just agree that unlike OP most of us are a bunch of selfish pricks?
At least we can claim our honesty.
Gavin Perez
Well at this point you're just talking about full blown socialism, which is what has caused all these 3rd world nations to be so poor in the first place.
Aaron Ross
They will have no where to go when the inevitable world revolution happens.
Levi Powell
>the only way to socialism is a world revolution
and this is why it will literally never be successful
James Williams
how does society own everything? since i also own a factory with a billion other people who decides what goes on it and what changes can be made?
Carter Gutierrez
No the workers manage the factory.
Ian Williams
yea so you have a never ending cycle of proscriptions and then no one wants anything out of fear of death
