@jonkentcomrade Because it's not murder and theft. You're just equivocating on what those words mean. Failing to save someone is not murder. It might be wrong, but it's not murder.
Someone really needing a job doesn't mean their employer is the one coercing them into needing one. It's not theft.

Liberals are fine with murder theft and discrimination as long as they're done systematically and not individually.
Emma Camp@emmma_camp_
One of the reasons I am a liberal and not a leftist is that leftist morality is about power, not rights. Good actions reduce power imbalances, bad actions exacerbate them. Murder, theft, and discrimination can all be justified if they harm a “powerful” person or group. Liberals condemn these actions because they violate individual rights and dignity. Liberalism seeks equal rights, leftism seeks equal power.

@BaldiFlashDrive Holy mandela effect I dont remember it being like this at all

@Painefulfacts @TheRealJChubby They're actually vastly deflated. If we take into account that capitalists keep about 50-ish percent of the produced value as profits instead of paying them out as wages, the blue block would be twice as big

@TheRealJChubby These wage theft numbers are inflated and the sources wrong

He's not wrong and it's not even close.

Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”

@OrbiOther Maybe you should read them.
Also, as silly as it is, Marx doesn’t counter it. LTV literally makes no sense. Value doesn’t come from how hard it was to produce something, it comes from people wanting it.
Before you say it, “socially necessary” is subjective value with extra steps

@philosophymeme0 People mix up logical contradictions and dialectical contradictions.
Logical contradictions are what aristotle talks about. But dialectical contradictions are everywhere, they describe things that are in conflict with one another.

@cheezwh25649020 Having multiple political parties isn't in itself a desirable trait. It's just a consequence of competing fractions within capitalism needing their own parties to articulate their political interest. You'd inversly expect a cooperative world to have a single political party.

On this day in 1870 a man was born who would eventually hijack a spontaneous, anarchic, pluralistic revolution. He would deform and exploit it to his own narrow, authoritarian outlook. He quickly built a single party police state, destroying an opportunity for human emancipation.

@SBDbolshevism @cheezwh25649020 Plurity of people most of which is ploretariat. He built a state where the proletariat have no say on their working conditions and where you can be killed for doing your job right

@midnight_b65055 The examples used aren't the best but it's a genuinely interesting question to me. Is the industrial capacity of a past world power enough to win against a deindustrialized, yet technologically superior force?

Incredible questions being asked on YouTube

@TheDarkDuchesss Oh no😭hope the stay won't be too annoying and I manifest literally everything in your life will improve, like even things you wouldn't think about like you'll always correctly push the push doors and pull the pull doors 💜

@OrbiOther Theyre unironically with complete seriousness sending me to the psych ward today 😭😭😭😭😭
I mentally illed a little too hard

@Banned4life2000 @Hoopss Well, generally speaking it is considered more socially competent not to bring up the freak accident death of a loved one to someone
English
@Hoopss It's a fair question. His daughter died from a preventable accident and she should have been being watched but she wasn't . I wonder what he was actually busy doing when this happened.

@equine__dentist Last time I saw this nothing happened so this better delivers
