    I mean we could both list 100 reasons why our current capitalist system is actively harmful to humanity but that’s not what I’m trying to talk about.

    I think people hoard for more reasons than just artificial scarcity. Not all of those reasons are rational either. I don’t believe that if we could provide food, water, and shelter to everyone that we would eliminate that fear.

    Everyone might be satisfied now, but what about the future? Something could happen. We need to act now to secure our future! You don’t even need someone to actually be afraid, just a bad actor who stokes fears in others.

      So you’re going to take the exceptions and make them the rule. No.

      Everyone might be satisfied now, but what about the future? Something could happen. We need to act now to secure our future! You don’t even need someone to actually be afraid, just a bad actor who stokes fears in others.

      This is how it is, now.

        Was literally just trying to give you a basic example to help you understand an idea but I can see now that was a complete waste of time.
