  • Never in our lifetimes has there been a system where the wealthy are given equal treatment, and the only brief moments that they were are sparks in history that quickly were snuffed out wherever they arose

    Stop carrying water for your oppressors, they aren't giving you a space at the table

    lternatively, how do we prevent someone from becoming so wealthy they suborn society?

    build a society that values something other than money. On small scales it works great, artist communes, religious communities, homesteaders. They will all tell you that money isn't the most important thing.

    Unfortunately that takes several decades of cultural shift for large scale change, and money will fight you every step of the way.

    Wealth isn't the issue, it's the concentration and hoarding of it for power and control.

    If I could thanos snap away all the sociopaths, it would solve itself in 15 years

  • We made an unspoken promise to the animals we domesticated: If you provide for me and my family, I will ensure your line never fades from this world

    It is unethical to abandon that promise, and the extinction of a species may be the single greatest wrong mankind can commit.

    If you compare the health of wild animals to domestically cared for animals, you will obviously see that domesticated animals are healthier and have greater opportunities for enrichment and happiness under human care.

    Yes there are vile humans who torture and keep animals in miserable conditions, and they should pay consequences for their cruelties and greed

    Don't you dare paint every farmer with that same corporate battery farm brush.

    I am not here to change your stance, I'm here to mitigate the dangerous attitudes your poorly considered stance engenders in others.

  • Not completely, there were holdouts in Ethiopia and Iraq but the writings survived and are only more applicable today.

    Point of order: In my case the supposedly heretical sect label happened to apply but when most Christians use lowercase 'g' gnostic they are referring to the fact that they have certainty that God exists via inner secret knowledge.

    While that does hold true for the myriad of sects labeled as 'Gnostic', there is a ton more conceptual dogma that is not considered true by most lowercase 'g' gnostics

    Not that any of you heathens really care.

  • I have EDS and am medically angry nearly all of the time, it is in my fucking profile. It is a burden for me to mask my coms style and frankly anyone who expects it is too thin skinned to be worth talking to anyway. Using my response to justify your persistent bigotry is entirely you my friend and I can guarantee you that I am not like anyone you have ever spoken to before.

    I too was born Catholic, Catechism and everything, and became an atheist at age 14, then an anti-theist at 20.

    There is literally no argument you can make that I haven't already made better

    And at 30 I had an experience that profoundly changed my perspective and I abandoned my childish atheism and have been a gnostic Christian ever since.

    Every one of my past arguments were laid bare for what they were: Justifications for me to continue to live a life that I desired, instead of the life my creator made me for.

    I would truly enjoy a spirited debate with atheists, and I have tried to have such since before the internet had pictures, but sadly I haven't found more than a clumsy shopkeeper's handful of you that could maintain intellectual honesty for more than 3 posts.

  • history, game theory and psychology.

    A system that rewards you with a thing that can break the system results in a broken system as the most competitive will be the most unscrupulous

    It doesn't matter where you start the regulation, the ability to leverage wealth against greed for corporate capture guarantees that corruption will always favor the most unethical actors.

  • As a progressive Christian that has spent my entire life actively helping the poor, needy, and visitors to our lands may I say a full throated 'fuck you' to you and everyone like you.

    Every time I see someone like you paint every theist with the same brush they dip for regressive protestants it makes my efforts to counter their vile spew that much more burdensome. But you do you. I guess. At some point I'm just going to stop trying bc I'm tired of being lumped together with the 'god hates fags' crowd.

    I hope your childish bigotry is worth losing 1/3 of your allies

  • I don't know if you've been paying attention but there is no equal process and never has been, there have always been different rules for the rich

    How do we hold the rich accountable if no one else will?

    You call it mob justice, I call it 'what happens when the voice of the people is ignored for decades'

    Save the world, bury the billionaire class

  • Hmmm, I wonder why people dedicated to forcing 95% of the population into an unwanted lifestyle change ever receive pushback at all? I mean it's completely reasonable to radically alter the diet that has supported humanity since before talking was invented but I'm sure you have a ton of nifty ideas on how to make lentils almost taste like chicken
