there are few things in life more ironic than watching the self-identifying empathetic and progressive crowd argue for the deaths of billions of people, both directly (by claims of overpopulation) and indirectly (by promoting a failed, totalitarian system that leads to starvation due to the limitations of market demands)

I enjoy watching their heads explode when you ask them simple questions such as

What would happen to me if I decided I make a better soup than the govt supplied canteen, so I start trading my soup for extra clothes or supplies?

Or my favorite, if you hate how prisons are run and say that they dehumanize the prisoner, why do you want to model the entire govt structure off of the prison system?

In prison you’re given everything you need. You’re given a job, free food, free shelter, free healthcare, free everything. You’re told when to sleep, when to rise, when to walk, when to talk. Everything is given to you from the all powerful state. Any and all interpersonal black market or trade system is not only frowned upon, but entirely crushed once found.

That is socialism. That is complete govt control. That is what you ask for. So why is it that the people who ask for these things are vehemently anti-prison?

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
