I don't necessarily advocate for total equality in the sense that all residents of a country are earning a similar wage; what does concern me, however, is the reality of individuals making 450K living a twenty minute drive from people who cannot sustain themselves

@Nicholas91 Morals should be the foundation of function among the people and in a nation.

Without morals, we have nothing to talk or argue about.

agreed

At the very least, in wealthy countries I would expect that every individual should have the mere capacity to lead a healthy life

Exactly.

Otherwise, what's the point of government?

That's where the debate gets interesting

To keep funneling money from the poor to the rich?

The huge divide is that some believe a Government simply exists to give the simplest protections (property rights, safety, and only a few more things) vs. others who believe the Government exists to ensure that all citizens are able to lead a "good" or at least modest life

So 21st century is going to be interesting. Where do you think major conflicts will occur

@Nicholas91 This isn 1999 pal.

Nowhere.

Conflicts have completely settled down.

@fannybandit Shush, the grown ups are speaking, go back to your bridge.

Rex is still mad.

He hates that I cuck him every time he speaks.

Village cunt V

@fannybandit I ain't the one screeching autistically and calling people a cuck like a 13 year old.

Are you still hearing things?

I wager US civil war 2.0

Yhea, a lot of bullshit.

Rex, if you hear things, go to a doctor.

Civil war 2.0 would be fantastic.

Militia vs feds.

@fannybandit Edgy.

Well...We the people vs feds.

@Nicholas91 That remains to be seen.

I'd say something similar to the collapse of Yugoslavia

I would absolutely love a civil war.

But bigger and better

Government can't fight for shit so, it would be quick.

At this rate, the military, militia, and the public would all be on one side.

All vs the feds.

really?

Oh yeah.

The military does not trust the establishment at all.

Neither does the militia.

Neither do the people.

@Nicholas91 Not going to happen like yugoslavia, that fell the same way as the austro hungarian empire, which was the growing nationalism in the country that resulted in the countries within the state declaring independance bloodlessly.

Id of thought the military itself would split
