    Really? So you don't have to worry about poverty, food, rent, your job, medications, gas, your car payments? The constant grind of being forced to sell your body and mind for menial labor to barely make ends isn't "hurting" you?

      poverty,

      Solved it for my family by 25

      food, rent,

      I grow my own food on land which I own.

      your job

      I created my job.

      medications

      lol

      gas, your car payments?

      Gas is trivial when you telecommute and I don't like the notion of ownership of my stuff which comes with loans.

        So your job is 100% guaranteed to last forever? You have literally no fear of ever being homeless?

        And all of your family is doing well? No one you know is struggling to make ends meet?

                You quite literally said this "Everyone in the world will try to screw you."

                Why did you say that? It sounds like you're living a charmed life.

                  Screw them back. It has a deterrent effect.

                        So you screwed them over by engaging in the rules of capitalism? Sounds like you agree it's exploitative.

                            Is that true in all scenarios? If someone stole your land would you be okay with it? Since that's the rules?

                                Sok you're not okay with, if you're willing to fight against some exploitation.

                                here's the thing. I'm against exploitation at all times. You can be too. It sounds like you actually are against the same exploitation we are. You just need to educate yourself and we'll try to be as nice as possible when helping with that. We don't even want to take your guns.

                                  Still a big shrug on the exploitation. You may as well soak up the ocean with a paper plate my dude.

                                    What does that mean? You don't care because you don't think you can fix it? I don't think i can fix it by myself either. But i can't stay true to myself i don't fight for what is right - true freedom from exploitation for everyone and making the world a better place in however small a way i can.

                                    Are you opposed to making the world a better place?

                                        One could argue that is the only direct effect you can do anyway. What are you doing then, to help your loved ones and ensure their lives are free from exploitation?

                                            Those idiots who set it on fire and set it on the course towards a mine field are all capitalists.

                                            Why don't you join us in our struggle against capitalism? I just want everyone to have enough land, food, and healthcare.

                                            But i can't help but notice you didn't actually list any concrete actions. Do you think your posts here will help insulate them from that damage somehow? Or is there more you're doing than simply trying to survive as best you can in a capitalist world, like everyone else is?

                                                It doesn't sound like your'e actually doing anything, dude. It's okay, it can be hard to start when you first realize how immense the scale of the problem is.

                                                I didn't ask you to care about us, but why wouldn't you naturally ally yourself with people who have stated repeatedly they're on your side and want you to have those things? Join us brother, we will take down the capitalists together. In your town, there is probably enough land and food for every single person to have a house and not struggle. But rich people insist on taking more than their fair share. I'm against that, are you?

                                                    i'm trying to be sincere here. You said i didn't want your opinion but i do. If you order a pizza, you'd want, for the most part, everyone at the party to get a fairly equal number of slices, right? That's just common sense.

            My family lives in a rural area actually. They're all struggling because the housing market has gone way up.
