It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’…
But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil.
Mind-boggling. 😎✨

We’re founded on dehumanization.
Let’s build systems that are pro-humanity. Funded by taxed wealth.
All I heard was white privilege.

Their reason is:
It is noble if YOU do it, but don't expect THEM to do it !
Rich people giving to charity is self-aggrandising, sharing means you don't get any credit, it's just being fair and it's not a choice.
The UK would collapse in an instant were it not for charities
Governments know + exploit this
COLLECT ALL DUE TAXES from corporations who exploit legal loopholes, + institute a wealth tax NOW
Yes I'm shouting
Global free trade seemed like a way better time for all...
Thank you to all lovers of DEMOCRACY who are participating today in the demonstrations. Even though FSHD1 has robbed me of my ability to participate - I am with you in spirit. My words are all I can give in support to all of you.
Some want to work as little as possible and have their needs meet.
Some enjoy work, but need 'fair' compensation to work.
The more work done, the larger the pie to share.
In @jerasikehorn.bsky.social opinion, how to best organize?
Yes, how dare the devil say kids should get free food at school or mothers get maternity leave.
When the rich are asking for donations.
I'll never understand why so many enjoy seeing other humans trying to make ends meet & to have to go without basic human needs.
They create tax deductions.
There's a difference.
Charity is big "business" and money laundering away from paying taxes. Especially also the exploitation of free labour aka "volunteer" work while charity executives get huge annual pay.
Trusts are the worst. A good peek into this complex financial construct:

I've heard them say they don't like being "forced" to support other people, but these are the same folks who complain about the homeless.
It’s crazy.
In the second they don’t. It reduces their excessive wealth which they live for.
Gifting govt contracts, donating to Orange Nosferatu, "fundraiding" (not a typo) for some cause that helps wealthy people, etc.

Let's look at this from a "stability" and "planning" perspective. Roads and cities get constructed because of long-term planning, otherwise known as taxes. Walls get painted with
Why are tariffs wreaking havoc on the economy. Lack of stability and planning. Trump wants to bestow "charity," on "good" countries. On a business level, ask yourself why every company wants you to sign up for "subscriptions?" Why do you pay insurance monthly? This is not rocket
Conservative my ass, Lying trash is more like it.
Morely Callaghan wrote a great book about the psychology of rich charity: 'More Joy in Heaven'.
"If YOU give, you're godly," billionaires say, so you'll think because they approve, they must give too...the joke's on you, though.
That's the con they've done for eons.
More stupid than a bilionaire paying taxes.
A. Coins thrown from the chariot of a Victor.
B. Bread and wine gifted by a King on his name day.
C. Life gifted on the whim of a God.
D. Screen time given by a parent to shut you up.
It's nuttery.
And as a logical consequence, an undeserving poor.

Equality is anathema to judgment.
Thats the reason we’re here…people not caring until it happens to them.All in all resistance’s here in full force…
Reckon it is, sadly, that simple
I for sure put it in quotation, but didn't want to end it with ~Sorry, I forgot
😄 😞
"What is that bill about?...we cant afford that, its the deficit stupid."..."if we give them this money they will just buy drugs with it."
That notion being pounded into every Americans head is then later used in reverse to say, “but.. then you can’t be a millionaire”
Word salad full of “freedoms” and “patriots” and that’s about it.
All mAgA lack substance and/or logical reasoning
A basic standard of living should be a right.
Enough to eat and safe, adequate shelter are an absolute minimum.
Some billionaires are philanthropists, but that money should have been paid in taxes for the state to use, not them.
The one thing these multi-billionaires have in common is that they exploited other hard working people to amass their obscene fortunes.
Assuming they haven’t a disability that precludes that.
I am all for providing shelter and food for those that can’t provide it for themselves. I am talking about able bodied people.
People will work, because people want to do something and will get more money to do more for themselves.
But we have more than enough money, goods, & logistics to give basics to all.
The fallacy is that we still live in a scarcity based world.
Again, I believe in a social safety net 100% where needed.
A good family dynamic is where people contribute their strengths and help one another with weaknesses. We now demand that people be a success by themselves (and not care about others). It *is* how we got here.
"Socialism" is an economy that serves society.
Democracy cannot survive if the wealth and welfare of the people depends entirely on the whims of a handful of wealthy elites who control the vast majority of the nation's wealth.
Capitalism is feudalism.
We need Economic Democracy. We need a Wealth Cap Ratio. Essential goods and services must not be privately monopolized or for-profit. Natural resources cannot be privately owned.
"Saskatoon food bank opens"
"Saskatchewan economy booming"
Abolish this notion and it's no longer "your money" to hand out at "your whim"
"Think"
Indeed it is mind-boggling
It's the Republicans that demonizes
Social safety nets. Those people have a cruel and heartless mindset, where greed and power is their only value. And if you don't screw people over to get ahead...
Well it's your fault for being weak
