You can just say, “I don’t know.”

Oftentimes that’s the best answer.

What other platform is available?

Don’t give them any ideas

I would be much more excited to vote for him if this were true.

What can you realistically steal that isn’t worth peanuts to them? You could take a car or some jewelry or maybe destroy a building, but their massive hoards are mostly in these intangible things called shares. It only exists on record and it only has value to those who are similarly greedy.

Their life, on the other hand… 🤔

Yeah but they don’t derive any material benefit from the misery. Only the politicians are profiting from hate.

Only a select few people actually profit from hatred and division between us. Let’s not give them that twisted satisfaction. ✊🏼

It literally was your kink

Especially from a Texan newspaper

I appreciate your critique but I’ve got to be honest and say that I’m not going to spend any more time in my life trying to justify late stage capitalism. It will eventually be replaced and pass into history like every other economic system, if it doesn’t kill us first. 💣

Strawman fallacy. I’m not rejecting all of it in favor of creation. I’m citing a significant list of problems with the theory.

I’ve got another list of philosophical problems, if you’re interested. Not that the sciences give a damn about philosophy or epistemology anymore…

you’re hurting my eardrums…

Lol at all the butthurt Darwinists

The UN sponsored report uses a pretty liberal definition of slavery to include things like wage theft (which forces workers to stay at a job until they’re fully compensated), sex trafficking, and domestic servitude where the servant’s documents are confiscated so that they can’t flee.

However, there’s still a hell of a lot whips and chains slavery in Africa and South East Asia. Those slaves serve the excavation and manufacturing industries.

I think one of the main problems with Smith’s conception of capitalism is that he didn’t account for how huge and pervasive and intrusive advertising would become. He naively assumed that the best product would dominate the market when actually people will buy whatever is thrust in front of the their eyes a thousand times a day.

And of course corporate lobbying wasn’t such an issue in his time.

I just heard an NPR story about US Steel Corp using chattel slavery less than a hundred years ago. They worked people to death and buried them in unmarked graves.

let’s call it neo-slavery 💫

We need a few more heroes and a lot more peas to solve some of these other problems:

Horizontal Gene Transfer upsets the conceptual “tree of life”, i.e. if genetics are not exclusively hereditary then it is impossible to determine a last universal common ancestor (LUCA).

Lack of a viable mechanism for producing the complex and specific information required to render the genetic code functional.

Failure of the fossil record to find support for Darwinian evolution (punctuated equilibrium, Cambrian explosion, etc).

Rampant examples of convergent evolution indicate extreme improbability.

Abiogenesis.

Biogeographical distribution irregularities. 

Inaccurate predictions regarding so-called “junk DNA”, vestigial organs and endogenous retroviruses (ERV).

Epigenetics cannot be reduced to a mechanism, certainly not natural selection.

“Phenotypic Plasticity” - the correlation between genotypes and phenotypes are no longer 1:1.

Beneficial mutations are impossibly rare. In almost all cases, mutations are degenerative, as demonstrated by Richard Lenski’s bacteria experiment and Molly Burke’s fruit fly experiment - both published in Nature.
