Jesus didn't take other people's fish & bread to give to the poor & needy. There's a huge difference between giving unconditionally versus forcing others to give up their property. Create abundance ...

Not sure your point.

The wealthiest among us have earned their wealth by exploiting the planet, the workers, and the legal system. Showing up to just take their shit is the most moderate position compared to what I would suggest is proper justice. I don't care if it upsets them.

I would never come for your shit.

I am coming for what was stolen from us.

And those fuckers would never accommodate the peasant class like you describe. They could end poverty and hunger on a mass scale with the stroke of a pen, dude. It's all digital. No drawers would open. No tin would be moved. A signature and the resources to reduce suffering could be immediately available.

But they don't.

They have power. And ambitions for that power that does not involve risking assets on plebs.

There is no ethical way to amass that much wealth and fixate on conjuring AI gods or going into space. That kind of wealth IS miraculous and could bring about modern miracles in par with Jesus.

That's my whole point.

It has nothing to do with taking anything from you. It has to do with distributing the wealth the planet has created in a way where we arrive to a global society where no exploitative or alienating mechanisms exist.

It is not a myth.

Egalitarianism is our true nature.

That's why you're willing to be generous.

But the system is so corrupt that people raised by it truly believe that we're not supposed to have a free life.

We will prove them wrong.

Thats 500,000,000 people down to 80,000,000 while the population has risen by ove...

I think we're largely in agreement. I feel strongly that it needs to be a choice for the individual & I'm sick of the broken incentives. I don't like communism because it feels so controlling & that's the opposite of what Jesus was about. It's probably more of a difference of definitions (I conced...
