I’m starting to think this Miller guy plays with dolls.

Anytbing that annoys me personally.

I spent a long time typing up something similar to this, but you’ve done a much better job that I would have.

I second this. I mostly prefer to keep to myself, but I have started seeing socializing with coworkers as a work duty. It is now no more taxing than doing paperwork. People seem to like me and seek my help, which was not the case previously. It’s also easier to get people to help me.

Well, that’s compelling. Why not just lead with that?

I MIGHT be misrembering. Shortly after Luigi Mangione was wrongly accused of having done nothing, admins said they would be removing any content that glorified violence and were required to do so under Dutch law.

.world is hosted on Dutch servers, and the Netherlands are adjacent to Germany?

I never claimed there was anything wrong with money? As far as I thought, I was arguing that it was a tool so useful it would be reinvented if a society did away with it.

I wouldn’t kill my neighbor? Was that too complicated an example? I think that money, like an axe, is a tool that can be used differently in different contexts. ‘Money’ isn’t the issue. How it’s used is the issue, which is why I think we would invent it. You don’t solve the ‘issues’ of an axe. You don’t solve the ‘issues’ of money. Capitalism uses stand-ins for value to harm people, but I am not convinced it’s an inherent trait of value stand-ins. I think LV’s are money, so I think you think that is true also.

I am aware of this. It’s functionally no different than a dollar bill. The fact that I intend to melt down an axe after I use it to chop a tree down doesn’t make it not an axehead. If I used that same axe to hack my neighbor to death, well, that’s a completely different use. In the case of communist ‘money’, I think we would cease using money to kill our neighbor.

Anything you exchange as a representation or substitute for something else of value. I think communism would reinvent what I consider money but wouldn’t use it as it’s used under capitalism.

I think if we eliminated money, we would just invent it again and call it something else.

While I agree with most of what you are saying, I don’t think this is an example of gaslighting. This is just run of the mill dishonesty.

I was getting off to adust my forks and avoid dropping my skid. My boss told me, ‘Should be fine like that.’ I listened to him, lift the skid, and it IMMEDIATELY tipped over. Your boss isn’t driving. You are.

Nope. You’re wrong.

Hierarchy must justify its existence, or it must be dismantled.

You know what, you’ve convinced. Your specific suggestion of ‘guillotine’ was particularly compelling.

Damn, spotify truly is a scourge to artists.

Sure, but OP didn’t ask, ‘How can people call themselves pro-life but are be for the death penalty?’ I’m not one to hang onto whatever catch phrases or name a movement lands with. Should* I expect the land back movement to, say, lay down on the ground as a for of protest? ‘BUT LAND BACK IS IN THE NAAAAAAAME’. Do we think defund the police want there to be nobody to apprehend, say, right-wing terrorists?

Edit; accidentally a word

IS it a contradiction? I don’t agree with the death penalty or anti-abortion position, but I don’t see some essential link between either position. You can hold two different beliefs about two different things is how come.
