That's exactly why I've stayed away from all of that.

If you live off welfare your still a slave

I prefer to think critically and be the master of my own life.

but oyu think it would be a good thing it would made it free for people so everyone could go?

How is a welfare recipient a slave?

No

Explain.

How is me receiving government money and having my own time to myself make me a slave?

Because they stopped being responsible for themself and are now dependent on the welfare office

Because they stopped being responsible for themself and are now dependent on the welfare office

How is that being a slave?

Even workers depend on government and their company.

I only depend on government.

No not necessarily

We all depend on someone.

If the company goes under you have savings and skills

Being dependent doesn't make you enslaved.

So...government would have to go under for me to lose everything.

I'll take that bet.

well, you have to keep voting for more welfare benfits

That's safer than relying on a company.

that's basically what your "job" is

You should work for welfwre

I agree

I'd rather have welfare work for me.

salt mines

Like the state gives you a job

See, I become the master.

They'll give me housing and money while I won't have to do shit.

I want you down in the salt mines at least 10 hours a day till you get a real job

Too bad what you want is irrelevant.

yes, yes it is

You're just jealous that I get to live in paradise.

Imagine having all the time and money you need to do anything.

welfare is not about giving people a free ride. it exists because not everyone has equal opportunities to succeed in this country. and it's about balancing that out. growing up poor puts you at a disadvantage. there are a lot of advantages a middle class kid has over a working class kid.

That's going to be me very soon.

It's not just welfare, it's disability.

I'm about to be declared fully disabled.

That's free housing, free money, and free time.

Paradise.

While everyone is slaving away at work, I'll be drinking beer and eating wings.

I'll get to go out and stay out all night not having to worry about my energy levels for work.

I will be the master of my own life.

it's a miracle that society has programs like that in place. a few decades ago you would have been destitute and homeless, and a country that treats its citizens like that is not what i would call a first world country.

Well I live in the US, so I will get all of that.

Once I collect enough money, I'll start up a small business and employ struggling people.

I have a plan...it mostly revolves around not giving a fuck and enjoying life.

@fannybandit And why is that?

Why is what?

*For you being disabled that is

Oh. I have manic episodes, bi-polar disorder, and trauma induced psychosis.

The latter is what will give me full disability.

i am almost positive he's trolling

adn he beat cancer, lol

I'm not, I have psychosis.

ok

Yes, which may have come from my intensive chemo in oncology.

No one knows.

Here's what I do know.

That diagnosis will grant me my freedom for the rest of my life.

If people had to actually work for welfare then we wouldn't have people like you

People like me?

You say that as if I'm a criminal.

you remind me of this guy/girl

He's a welfare queen

The entire point of welfare is to help people who can't work.

the systems of opression have gotten him

I'll be on welfare and disability because I can't work.

https://youtu.be/RBqjZ0KZCa0

No it's not

I'm literally too crazy to hold down a job.

Isn't that fantastic?

I can see that

The best part is...I could work if I wanted to after the fact.

Take anti psychotics

I won't...but I could.

I take Abilify.

take some magic mushrooms

I have.

take more

Psilocibins.

Delicious.

you need to sprinkle some PCP on there

to make it work right

I call that powdered sugar.

*tweaks*

All I have to do in life is be honest.

It pays more than a full time job.

it actually does

People think I'm crazy and then while they slave away, I get to laugh at them.

While drinking beer and eating wings.

@fannybandit hey man

a single mother of 2 in DC makes the equivalent of $52k in ewlfare

She deserves a medal.

that's a lot better than a minimum wage job

Yes it is.

Minimum wage is like what...$12k/year?

I was making around $18k/year.
