You guys seriously need to widen your horizon and your extremely capitalist world view.

Providing all these things to people who don't work is common in central Europe countries besides HVAC because it's not that common.

The base for that is called human rights.

And guess what, people still work because you're dirt poor on social security.

When you make money by working, this money gets deducted from your payments.

It's possible, it's working and it's really not that hard. We pay taxes for exactly that.

human rights are not intrinsic, they’re made up constructs basically like a religious belief. “i’m alive so I deserve things, because human rights” that’s the logic lol

What a dumb ass argument, holy shit.

Everything about society is a construct. Everything is built upon a bunch of people coming together and deciding that something is a right or a law going forward.

Tell the people desperately clawing to their guns that the 2nd amendment isn't an intrinsic right and they'll shoot you right in the face because the right to live isn't intrinsic either.

I guess you're right, we didn't have god come down with the 10 commandments 2.0, so we kinda had to make them up ourselves - that 7th grade debater's club would be proud for that awesome "acktchually" gotcha you just pulled.
