plus that doesn't mean they're always virtuous
Why do islamists kill more Americans despite committing less attacks?
Doesn't that defeat the purpose then?
I'll tell you what I am.
I am pan-demisexual (which means I am attracted to men, women, and people who don't identify as man or woman - hence the "pan" part; and demi which means I'm only attracted to people once I have an emotional connection with them), and also I would consider gender to be an arbitrary social construct, so I generally consider myself genderqueer or non binary.
I also consider myself to be a social democrat, because I think that system of economics is most appealing.
I would also consider myself to be an atheist, and a determinist, because I don't believe that god exists, and I don't believe that human beings have free will.
I guess you could say that I'm a furry because I find some furry artwork very well done, and adorable.
I also like anime.
Copypasta?
what defeats the purpose of what
If greed and self-interest benefits the society the most
obviously some self interest is necessary
@Deleted User But they don't
but charity doesn't mean that the rich don't put their capital to socially destructive purposes
They benefit the individual
or put their capital to measures that give them more power than the poor
lol durtle
As a percentage of their income, they give back the most by far
why does that matter
Because it defeats your argument
no it doesn't
And blacks, by percentage of population, commit the most violent crimes by far
it doesn't mean that they don't ultimately chose to organize society in a way that helps them more
i wonder why a ghetto would vote democratic lol
lol
You should wonder why and how Democrats create ghettos
@Deleted User And it's in the self interest of those democrat ghetto owners to keep those ghettos poor, so they can forever dangle the prospect of economic improvement in front of their captive audience of voters
And yet that's not the socially optimal income
and their donors
Societies create the most socially optimal outcomes when the structure of the society incentivizes or forces making socially optimal choices
I.E. rome
Behave or we crucify you
They think these groups need the most help and end up subsidizing bad behavior.
Yup
ted cruz voice: blackies, i'd just like to say......i really like ya!
We think we can throw money at problems to fix them which only makes them worse
not always but sometimes that is the case
That's my issue with Globalism
It thinks money is the be all and end all solution in ALL situations, which it is not
Increasing the income of a Somali dirt farmer does not magically make them not a dirt farmer, or their land not an inhospitable wasteland
What problem do you have with Meritocracy?
It's fine
