  Okay? I’d rather do that than eat it from the rich. It’s not like you can’t wear protective equipment or anything. Heck, give me a set of coveralls and I would wade waist-deep in a septic tank on the daily in return for a society that has no homelessness, no famine, no medical debt, universal access to healthcare and education, to live in a world without pedophile billionaires and corporations constantly fucking us all over for a percentage. Do you really not see how that would be a better world?

    Even if you would be willing to do that, I doubt there would be enough to make a system like this work.

    There’s a reason plumbers are so well paid.

      Well, you can believe whatever you want to believe, I’m not going to stop advocating for a better world just because you’re a bit squeamish.

      I’m an anarchist! If you haven’t heard much about anarchism before, you probably have some misconceptions about it, so I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, because it’s almost definitely nothing like what you think. I personally believe that it’s the most coherent philosophy which adequately explains and addresses all of the problems which plague our society, and which holds the most promise for a path out of the inevitable cycle of the continuous rise and fall fascism that capitalism makes inevitable.

        I’ll check it out.

        Counter point: If there is no reason for some people who are capable of contributing to society to actually contribute, at least a good portion of those people will not, but they’ll still take from the system.

        The inequity is inherent. There needs to be SOME reward for effort aside from pure altruism.
