    It’s one thing to vicariously be a decent person and virtue signal by sharing such a meme, but actually paying for it? Fuck no.

      A bit off topic, but this is why I avoid communities for “uplifting news”. It sounds like a good concept at first, but then most of the news are based on that.

    Yes because this isn’t socialism. Giving things away to the needy isn’t a political system. It’s just being a good person doing the right thing.

        No they ain’t.

        Anybody saying that type of dumb shit is doing the opposite of scientific and rational thought.

        They are fanatics, they will presume anything that goes against their indoctrination is demonic and come up with any and all excuses to vilify it.

          You realize that people still work for pay in a socialist society correct? Difference being is that the means of production is owned by the state rather than the individual.

          Socialism isn’t giving charity to people it’s ensuring equality amongst the general population.

          How is it that so many people don’t know what the basics of socialism is and yet they defended it with their dying breath like it’s the salvation of our society.

          There hasn’t been a single socialist country that has been successful in the history of human kind.

            I just saw this comment, haha. I am sure you must be wondering why noone engages into any “discussions” with you 😂 It is a mystery.

              Your comment to me was nonsensical eluding to some kind of epiphany that I just can’t get to because of my own ignorance I guess.

              It’s funny that you say that nobody will engage in discussion with me when you yourself can’t even make a statement that makes sense to discuss in the first place.
