Yeah, I hear the ninth circle of hell just oozes warmth too.
My wife was like, “He’s all about big government, isn’t he?”
Individual autonomy will be subordinated to the needs of the collective

NYC about to be in the finding out phase 
One of the most punchable faces that I have ever seen.
How dare we look out for each other and help each other! Next thing he will be saying is “the least among us will be the greatest”.
I just want more presidents with shitcoins and a family of grifting children to run things.
When money has no value, human becomes lazy.
When human are lazy, they becomes communist.

Love Mamdani 🥰
Some people just need to be buried alive.
This is the typical Democrat today, as I call them demonrats. He is a Muslim. Everything he does is done with world Islam as the final goal.

I bet some Pennsylvania militiaman's dying wish at the Battle of Brooklyn Heights was for this exact moment, when an Indian-Ugandan could impose economic communism with a side of sharia justice
Someone is missing the difference between private groups and government.
This is a joke, right?
Sorry if I broke the echo chamber
Not an echo chamber. Just primarily people who are intelligent and understand history.
It's ok everyone! He's been cleared of his communist accusations!
Al Jazeera
Fact check: Is Zohran Mamdani a communist?
No, Trump's claim that New York City mayoral candidate’s platform is akin to communism is false, experts say.
But you are the billionaires… right?
This collective shxt ain't the way
Nice with the insults. Have a good night.
Throat punch followed by roundhouse kick to the head.
Oh cool if Qatar state television says it then it must be true

I'd be more worried about this if i were you.
Bullish
Said it out loud 👀
🤷♂️ It’s a reasonable conclusion
Pluribus, here we come.
You didn’t get insulted you big baby
Reading comprehension
That's the fastest I've ever gone from not knowing anything about someone to hating their guts.
Wesley Mouch? He's Ragnar Danneskjöld cannon fodder, go for it! That's how the story goes…
I'm more interested in which parties organized the massive movement of migrants to Russia, and what that looked like on the ground in USA.
🤯
I'd ask him what about those people who don't wish to be collectivist, will you respect their wishes and leave them alone?
Where? Point them out.
He is of his father....Satan
At least he is open about it
NYC is sinking
Ayn Rand villain.
Can’t you sense the honest, humble trustworthiness in his gestures? 🤣
If a push for re-migration happens in the West.
After migrants have been treated as 1st class citizens for years in the West, what happens to the native homelands?
What is the net product? Is it a viable mechanism of low effort colonial expansion?
Little confusing, care to explain?
Good lord
It beams of GPT a little
I support his policy, for the most part.
Where was the insult?
It wasn’t from you. I consider implying someone is unintelligent an insult 🤷♂️
On the internet that rates about a 0.3 out of 10 on the insult scale.
Yeah I get that. I just end interaction when people start with insults. No reason to discuss any further with people doing that. Nothing productive can come from it.
100%. Sworn in on the Quran
I only refer to this guy as Bin Laden in conversation.
OMG 😦
Disgusting, hidious, repulsive, sickening!
I actually like him 😄
I follow him on Bluesky, seems like a nice guy, who thinks about the poor people. He is kind I think. Maybe Kindness is about not being so focused on the self (the individual) and hence the word collective maybe.
Tank man was and is still my HERO
lol nah
Bitcoin adoption is in a race with totalitarianism dude.
What year is it in your opinion? Is it 2007?
My political views, for practical purposes, are generally democratic socialist. I’d prefer to go a lot further than that but it’s just not realistic. I support some supposed “right wing” policy though, like enforcing immigration laws and opposing trans stuff as it relates to minors.
I know that’s kind of vague overall, but I don’t really feel like going through his platform line by line lol.
I don't live in New York. Why should I cate about this guy?
Just line those frigid mofos up.
I'm not sure I understand the question?
I think Georgie and Mamdani are wrong in this thinking. My takeaway (and perhaps Luke's point) is that even a popularish republican US president that didn't want to follow free-market principles was wrong.
Also, not sure we've had a free-market in America for decades. Different politicians just tilt the playing field in favor of different beneficiaries/lobbyists/bribers.
Everyone is picking winners and losers out here buddy
Hard pass. I’ll take rugged individualism over the Gulags any day.
It's a false dichotomy which many fall into.
We can actually live in the space of independent and interdependent, depending on the relationships.
Individualism and collectivism, exist, but don't normally play out literally in real life.
Of course, if he's saying it, he may be implying, "Collectivism, or else."
That sounds exactly like Australia. 🫣🧡
Who is John Galt?
I don't mind collectivism, just don't touch other people's shit. It's called property rights, the source of wealth creation. The Romans already understood this well.
Oh yea true, I forgot that he is going to raise taxes for the top 1-5% richest I think.
Anyway, I do understand the idea - whenever things are forced, we don’t like it and also makes us dislike things that indirectly cause this forcing (poverty, inequality, food subsidies, etc etc ) and thus reduces kindness in the world.
But also, as long as the concept/tool of “taxation” exists as a system balancing act, guys like him are needed.
Discussions to usurp forcing tools completely from our systems is a different topic - this has been my main point that we should not misplace our disappointments or anger.
Humans don’t seem to let go of money but the system needs money to be redistributed to keep the consumption economy going.
And so Taxation (and UBI in future) will exist to keep the monetary economic system alive. The only freedom in my opinion is to evolve the system into something non-monetary resource based system.
This is hard to answer because
1. I don’t exactly know how it will function.
2. It will loosely be based on gift economy values.
What I am mostly confident of is the path towards such an economy which will inevitably take us towards a new system and reveal it’s exact workings.
The path I have in mind is an application of an ancient meditation method called Vipassana to the economy. Basically in this meditation, the root cause of suffering is identified to be our cravings and aversions.
I think the economic system suffers from the same (Cravings for infinite growth).
When I apply it to economy I got this : Start zero-profit business in the food sector. And hence I have a plan document here if you’re interested:

The Vipassana Grocery Store
The Vipassana Grocery Store Introduction: The Economy is a Body We often treat the economy as a math problem, but let's think of it as a biological...
Thank you :)
It’s a simple grocery store idea and so, I think it will work anywhere. This is more like a consumer food coop and when Food coops can exist why not this everywhere?
Normal stores - Try to Maximise & keep all profit
Coops - Share it with members as dividends
Zero profit store - Gives it back to customers it took it from.
Simple unexplored business model and doable I think.
And thanks for read it 🙏👍
And the masses cheered, slack jawed and ill informed, waiting for their cheques in the mail, complaining there isn’t anything to buy in the government run grocery stores.
True, it is a really competitive space but its food 🥺, its life, we need to claim it back and make it free from profit. No matter what the currency is (Even Bitcoin), we know how profit ruins any industry, I think this is clear to the world today.
So though I agree theres a monopoly of money but I don’t see how a new form of the same idea (ofcourse free from govt n central authorities) has a different effect on humans in running the same services/businesses , won’t we want more of bitcoin , will profit maximising disappear, will hiding scientific research to make profit go away, will businesses suddenly care , will kindness exponentially increase? I dont see how.
Nah you can do voluntary collectivism. Just nobody does it xD
Today I came across the term “Naturalistic Fallacy” which I think fits perfectly to what I wanted to respond regarding competition in nature vs competition in human built systems.
It states that just because something is a certain way in nature, doesn’t mean it ought to be that way in human morality.
The warmth of socialism is from the funeral pyre of people the state killed to confiscate their property.
We definitely need not be more cruel than nature, I think we can agree on that.
What Dr. Temple Grandin’s work did was to make animal slaughter less cruel than it was.
But, I think we humans kill animals in a more cruel way than nature does. When in the wild animals are hunted they have a chance to escape and live , we on the other hand leave them no choice like that, which is much worse if you think about cruelty not just in the form of physical violence, its a lifetime of torture and imprisonment, So yeah, sorry but we are much below natures standards and I think, we need to keep striving to rise above it rather than using “Naturalistic Fallacy” argument to justify status quo.
Hi , sorry for my delayed response. I wrote a draft but it didn’t get saved as I wanted to come back to it and finish it later 😄 . So let me try to write it again.
I guess Im referring to eating Animals itself as a naturalistic fallacy that its the way it happens in nature, so we will do it and then comes we should do it in a better way than nature.
But our methods are actually not better than nature - an animal raised only to be killed (At least nature is kinder in giving them a chance at survival). And then the people who do the killing don’t even want to do it (read a research on that long ago) and only do because we live in a monetary system where everyone has to earn a living and so they do so to survive ( In nature the eater does the killing, but we have outsourced that pain , guilt & useless empathy to others) ..
In short, our ways are way worse than nature and one of the causes for it is monetary market based economic system we live in. We can do better but only if we acknowledge that we are not doing our best
