That's all.

my communist friend literally doesn't understand profit

even on the most micro scale, I describe in fine detail how a business buys products, does something and sells it and that's profit

he can't grasp it

math is hard

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

@Vindi fucking HOW

that's such a basic concept

@JoeyJoestar1337 Adapt, Improvise, Overcome.

@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck he deems it theft, even in the most simple case of 1 man mechanic that hires a guy out of high school for 8 hours a week - any "surplus" money is theft

OOF

but he still doesn't actually grasp it properly

like he automatically assumes it's theft but he doesn't genuinely understand inputs - outputs = profit

How the fuck!? I learned about profit even before I took MacroAP in HS

lmfao

He's literally a Puritan, holy shit

he scares me actually, I've cut ties with him

oof

he attended antifa rallies etc

literally wants to sieze the means of production, jail millionaires

"reeducate them"

insists they are not gulags

when asked about how well soviet communism went, he says he doesn't know much about it

Ouch

did you ever ask him about the Muslim camps in the Xinjiang Region?

don't think I specifically did

I cut ties with him after he linked me the egg attack on an australian politician (egg boy) a few months ago. I knew it was the beginning of an escalation of political violence. And sure enough, within weeks we had an egg attack on the prime minister of australia, and soon after that we had the milkshake phenomenon born, then cement shakes, then andy ngo, now that fire bomb attack on an ICE centre.

Ah. I'm glad I've never had friends like that.

well he's a nice and smart guy actually

I enjoy debating with him

but his ideology is so far left (I'm left wing too, just not as far as him), he agrees with political violence and if there is ever any genuine unrest, I don't want to be on his radar

he thinks I'm a racist fascist because I'm a sam harris liberal that believes islam is the motherlode of bad ideas and that mass immigration is threatening our society

and he's very soy himself

he'd never engage in violence himself, but he seems to run with a crowd that would

that's pretty funny

That's all that unusual tbh.

*not

@Vindi how soy? Like...."Unable to open Soylent bottles" levels of soy? The "My wife's boyfriend" type?

Zizek thinks Soros or Gates should hang and he isn't unintelligent.

or, to be more precise, put against a wall. Although I don't think he cares about the method so much

I guess the latter is a little more humane
