it's not even charity

it's just being neighborly

they also started when land could be bought for 5 bucks an acre...if i could buy land for that it wouldnt be a problem with needing to essentially crowdfund

ah alright

charity is a more accurate term for it than socialism

but we get what we mean

so it doesn't matter

if your friend has a sick kid and is struggling to pay for treatment, you're probably going to pitch in a few hundred, or even thousand

but charity has this connotation of helping "the lesser"

mmmh

in this case I wouldn't be giving my bro charity

yeah, kinda does

yeah thats the kind of community I can get behind

even if it's not strictly in the definitions

I would be just being a bro... the same bro he would be to me if I needed such help

and it's something that comes naturally to us as European homonids

yeah, set up the right context and agree to keep out harmful influences and it'll go fine

this is the same altruistic impulse socialists and jews (i repeat myself) exploit when pushing their agenda

because I want to help... but I only want to help people that understand and know that it's me helping them, and they know me.

I don't want to help the faceless herd get fat and then pay for their diabeetus medication

now, be fair
there are enslaved goyim socialists too )))

yeah, that works because at the end of the day we are still individuals and have clear property lines. But when you have communal ownership then people become more concerned that they are getting their share.

yes

yeah that's why communal ownership doesn't work

because it gives rise to disputes

"tragedy of the commons"

the incentive is to abuse the resource

but if the property is owned, you could arrange an economic trade with the owner, even if it isn't with money

"hey can I farm your land if I cut you in on the profits I make?"

"hell yes!"

"if you let me graze cattle on your land I could help you build that guest house you've been meaning to "

stuff like that, etc.

I suspect that the European empathy that made democracy work rose out of our individualism.

think about the kind of abstract thought, planning and coordination it takes to survive a pleistocene winter.

and to survive all the winters over millenia

I think we're capable of compassion, empathy, and communal cooperation without it having to be legally formalized

you wont like this but it could easily end up like the roman fire department that would light your house on fire and then buy it from you for pennies....im not saying light the others house on fire but if you come from a position of power like im the only one here who has a tractor so i set the terms of farming your land i say 2 percent...you dont have any power except farming yourself or in the example of rome going to find a bucket ...it doesnt usually work out in the end...take it with a grain of salt im not trying to rustle feathers but if you just want to go and own land with white neighbors there are a lot of places you can do that and i dont know how this would benefit anyone else

no jimmies rustled

im changing my name to thatdudeiscrazy hopefully you understand

lol

conversations like this are important to have
