Bad stuff happens there

2018-01-23 01:40:20 UTC  

It keeps them to busy to hungry and to dependant on the next day for them to rise up

2018-01-23 01:40:24 UTC  

that is why it is important to allow rational self-interest to become a virtue. Because it leads to people taking the responsibility for their own lives.

2018-01-23 01:40:36 UTC  

yes it does

2018-01-23 01:41:05 UTC  

Rational self interest to me would be, someone smart enough to abuse the welfare system, because those idiots forcing welfare will give you free money that someone else earned for you

2018-01-23 01:41:06 UTC  

and why is taking responsibility for ones own life a bad thing?

2018-01-23 01:41:07 UTC  

the ultimate selfish ideology is libertarianism (or closer still, objectivism)

2018-01-23 01:41:28 UTC  

no because you are stealing money from someone else

2018-01-23 01:41:31 UTC  

I think everyone should keep their shit to themselves and be left alone

2018-01-23 01:41:34 UTC  

"virtue signalling" and "wanting to help for the sake of helping" can mingle together as one. I absolutely refuse to only ever think of myself. I do think about myself, of course. But that's not the only thing I think about.

2018-01-23 01:41:41 UTC  

so you are ultimately dependant on them.

2018-01-23 01:41:53 UTC  

no im not

2018-01-23 01:41:54 UTC  

I just don't prescribe to this idea that not being selfish is selfish.

2018-01-23 01:41:58 UTC  

Taxes.

2018-01-23 01:42:00 UTC  

you don't have to

2018-01-23 01:42:01 UTC  

No, dependant is not the word

2018-01-23 01:42:06 UTC  

if i don't need their money, but still take it, its for my benefit only

2018-01-23 01:42:09 UTC  

the welfare system needs an overhaul, there are SO MANY people on it that know how to play the system now, and keep people who actually work and pay taxes, struggling to pay their own shit

2018-01-23 01:42:12 UTC  

Personally interested

2018-01-23 01:42:16 UTC  

yes

2018-01-23 01:42:21 UTC  

A better title for that.

2018-01-23 01:42:22 UTC  

get rid of its non-essential parts

2018-01-23 01:42:25 UTC  

if you make helping people your goal, by pursuing it, you are being rationally self-interested.

2018-01-23 01:42:27 UTC  

omg, generational welfare is a think

2018-01-23 01:42:29 UTC  

thing*

2018-01-23 01:42:39 UTC  

A blanket-statement with little basis in reality.

2018-01-23 01:42:41 UTC  

abolish welfare.

2018-01-23 01:42:44 UTC  

GENERATIONAL WELLFARE take a wild guess what they vote?

2018-01-23 01:42:55 UTC  

so how in the hell is having people dependent on you for no reason other than they are lazy and are getting free money a selfless act

2018-01-23 01:43:00 UTC  

that yoru kids get welfare too

2018-01-23 01:43:10 UTC  

when you sit there and struggle to pay your bills and your rent and for your food and such, how is that selfless

2018-01-23 01:43:20 UTC  

it's not, that's being selfish

2018-01-23 01:43:35 UTC  

its selfish to pay your bills?

2018-01-23 01:43:37 UTC  

O.o

2018-01-23 01:43:40 UTC  

right, i'm off to bed, cuz this is just an endless cycle right now

2018-01-23 01:43:45 UTC  

you are being altruistic, the people dependent on you are ultimately looting from you.

2018-01-23 01:43:47 UTC  

that's them sucking you dry of money that coudl go into your childrens' mouths as food, that can cover them as clothing, that can shelter them as a house

2018-01-23 01:43:47 UTC  

Hello comrade I have a free helicopter ride for you

2018-01-23 01:44:15 UTC  

CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE WON!

2018-01-23 01:44:23 UTC  

looting isn't altruistic, but it is a consequence of altruism.

2018-01-23 01:44:25 UTC  

it's not altruistic, you can'r choosing to help them, you are being forced to give them your money while taking from your children's quality of life, as well as your own
