• The idea a Universal Basic Income or #UBI began as a technocrat utopian policy meant to help to create ‘a world without poverty’, which certainly sounds great on paper.

  • Greywarden > As stated on my previous post, the source for this ridiculous Meme is found here: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1331942-virgin-vs-chad.

    #1. The Chad wants Corporations to be Overthrown.

    Answer: Corporations are State Controlled Socialist Organizations. The Chad seems to be against State controlled monopolies (such as Corporations), which Marx himself was in favor of.

    #2. The Chad does not believe in Hierarchies according to the Marxist author.

    Answer: If this were actually true that the Chad does not believe in hierarchies, then that would mean the Chad is not a Communist, but an Anarcho Capitalist. Anarcho Communism is an Oxymoron as you cannot have Anarchism which is Anti-Government and Communism Which is Pro State Simultaneously. Simply put, the author of this Meme does not know what he is talking about.

    #3. The Chad Covers his face because his actions are all that matters, not his identity according to the Marxist Author.

    Response: Well, we have seen many Obedient Socialist Statist Covering their faces per the orders of the Public Sector State Hierarchy.

    #4. The Chad Believes in the Liberation of Women from oppressive gender roles according to the Marxist author.

    Answer: Oppressive Gender Roles can only play out in an economy that is collectively owned or controlled. Such as male born transgender individuals in women sports ect. This right there classifies as oppressive gender roles, and this is just one example of the Stupidities Marxist are pushing for. Traditional Gender Roles are not at all oppressive. Traditional Gender Roles are actual facts and correlate properly with the individual's gender.

    #5. The Chad comes from poverty and has experienced oppression

    Answer: Not to many victims of oppression come out of poverty by using oppression as an excuse for not being able to come out of oppression. In fact, the fact that the Chad comes out of oppression in the first place is because he isn't even really oppressed. If he were oppressed, and he had no opportunities to grow because of his gender, race or whatever. He would never come out of oppression nor poverty because the system is rigged against him.

    #6. The Chad wants everything Publicized according to the Marxist author.

    Answer: And there you have it ladies and gentlemen. The author just spilled out the beans with the above. If the Chad really is an Anarchist, then he wouldn't want everything publicized as that only empowers the Public Sector Hierarchy. The Marxist said in point #2 of his ridiculous Meme, that the Chad does not believe in Hierarchies. This right here is a contradiction, as Public Sector Control of the means of production is Socialism, and by definition it is Hierarchical, and is completely unrelated to Anarchism.

    #7. The Chad wants money abolished according to the Marxist author.

    Answer: Money's Abolishment is exactly what the Public Sector State Hierarchy wants in order to control the Private Individual. So, the Chad is not exactly against Hierarchies now is he? He is not a real Anarchist, but only one in name i guess.

    #8. The Chad could easily get laid if he wanted to, but chooses to fight Capitalism and Fascism according to the Marxist author.

    Answer: The Chad only fights Capitalism because he is against the individual, and does indeed believe in Hierarchies. This is the Chad's real problem with Capitalism. Fascism is not another word for Capitalism as the Marxist Pseudo Definiton says. Fascism is Syndicalism with a Philosophy of Actualism. Fascism is Trade Unionism and it is a complete opposite of Capitalism.

    #9. I skipped a few of them because I've already addressed similar stupidities.

    On this one the Chad says property is theft.

    Answer: This doesn't make much sense. I do understand if the Marxist is trying to say that Private Property Rights is theft, as the Marxist do believe that the Government should have ownership of all properties, not the individual. So much for not believing in Hierarchies SMH.

    #10. The Chad ignored Bitcoin because its another Capitalist ploy.

    Answer: Good for the Marxist. I am glad the Crypto Market is a Capitalist Market and close to impossible to control. I am glad the Public State Hierarchies of the World cannot control it. I am glad the Crypto Market is an enemy of Socialism, for Socialism is an enemy of the Individual, and individuals do exist and not to be blamed by association for the crimes of another individual just because he/she belongs to the same ethnic group as the criminal.

  • Another school shooting in the US!!!
    I travelled to the USA a little over a year ago and it was probably the worst country that I have visited TBH.
    The amount of homeless people was just staggering absolutely staggering. The Uber rich minorities living a stones throw away from from absolute poverty indicates a completely broken system.
    80 school shootings in 2023 already is a national tragedy and the powers that be should be ashamed. The US gun laws are the laughing stock of the world. After soooo many school shootings every other country would just outright ban guns, not the US though their answer to the problem is to just arm every single resident

  • John Lennon's famous widow: Yoko Ono celebrates her 90th birthday today

    Yoko Ono, Japan's "most famous unknown" multimedia artist, singer, writer and peace activist celebrates her 90th birthday today.
    She was marked by a love affair with John Lennon, one of the Beatles, so today she is one of the most famous and richest women in the world. According to the media, her fortune is 750 million dollars
    Yoko Ono was born on this day, February 18, 1933, in Tokyo, Japan, in a rich Japanese "blue blood" family. As a 12-year-old, she survived the devastating American bombing of the Japanese capital and the subsequent post-war poverty.
    When The Beatles broke up in 1970, Yoko was often cited as the main reason for their split. However, according to statements close to the band, and Paul McCartney himself, it seems that Yoko could not have been the reason for their breakup.
    Apart from music, Yoko was always involved in art. She continued to exhibit her work. In 2015, the Museum of Modern Art in New York organized an exhibition of her earlier works. She also received the Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Biennale in 2009.

  • (Thanks C-GPT)

    (NOTE not all statements are necessarily my personal opinion & are just gathered on chat GPT.)

    Q: how may be best to achieve maximum freedom in the world?

    A: Achieving maximum freedom for all people in the world is a complex and multifaceted goal that would require addressing a wide range of social, economic, and political issues. Some strategies that might contribute to this goal include:

    Promoting and protecting human rights: Ensuring that all people are able to enjoy their fundamental rights and freedoms, such as the right to life, liberty, and security of person, is essential for achieving maximum freedom. This may involve supporting organizations that advocate for human rights, promoting policies and practices that respect and protect these rights, and holding governments and other actors accountable for violations of human rights.
    Strengthening democratic institutions: Establishing and maintaining democratic systems of government that are accountable, transparent, and responsive to the needs and concerns of the people can help to ensure that individuals have a say in the decisions that affect their lives and are able to freely express their opinions and ideas.
    Reducing poverty and inequality: Economic inequality can limit people's freedom and opportunities, as those who are disadvantaged may not have the resources or power to fully participate in society. Reducing poverty and promoting economic equality can help to expand people's options and opportunities and increase their freedom.
    Promoting education and access to information: Education and access to information are important for empowering individuals and enabling them to make informed choices and decisions. Providing people with the knowledge and skills they need to participate fully in society can help to increase their freedom.
    Addressing discrimination and promoting inclusivity: Discrimination based on factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disability can limit people's freedom and opportunities. Working to eliminate discrimination and promote inclusivity can help to create a more equal and free society.

    Q: would the use of blockchain technology be viable for that goal?

    A: Blockchain technology has the potential to support the goal of achieving maximum freedom in a number of ways. Here are a few potential applications of blockchain that could contribute to this goal:

    Decentralization: One of the key features of blockchain is its decentralized nature, which means that it is not controlled by any single individual or entity. This could enable people to have more control over their own lives and choices, as they would not be subject to the decisions of a central authority.
    Increased transparency and accountability: Blockchain technology is based on a distributed ledger that is transparent and verifiable, which could help to increase accountability and reduce corruption in various sectors, such as government, finance, and supply chain management. This could help to increase trust and confidence in institutions, which could in turn support the goal of achieving maximum freedom.
    Improved access to financial services: In many parts of the world, people lack access to basic financial services such as banking, credit, and insurance. Blockchain-based financial technologies such as stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi) could help to increase access to these services, particularly for those who are underserved by traditional financial institutions. This could help to increase people's economic freedom and opportunities.

    Increased privacy and security: Blockchain technology can be used to secure and protect personal data, which could help to prevent abuses of power and protect people's privacy. This could be particularly important for individuals living in countries with weak privacy protections or where personal freedom is threatened.

    It is important to note, however, that blockchain technology alone is not a panacea for achieving maximum freedom. It will be necessary to address a wide range of social, economic, and political issues in order to truly achieve this goal.

  • THAT I MAY KNOW HIM (Phil. 3:10)!
    °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

    BRIDLING OUR TONGUES::A NECESSITY FOR SURVIVAL, NOW MORE THAN EVER{JAS.3:1-12}!
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    I respect you all out there,who continue to surrender yourselves for God's usage to inspire me.Remain blessed,as I ask of the Holy Spirit to empower us in understanding, discerning and utilizing the eternal life giving TRUTH found only in HIS WORD,in our daily lives,Amen!

    The verses 7-8 of our key verse above says*For every kind of beasts,and of birds and of serpents, and of things in the sea,is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:: But the TONGUE can no man tame; it's an unruly evil full of deadly poison*.

    Without fear of contradiction, the wrong usage of the TONGUE has triggered wars,internal conflicts, divorces,poverty,crumbling of businesses, and even self-assasination(suicide)!

    It's also true that in relatively few instances,it has brought hope to many a man,when it was used well!

    The TONGUE remains one of the viable places where Satan lays his traps, because in quite a lot of cases,the TONGUE is fed by EGO(pride)!

    It will be no exaggeration,if I depose that between 70-80% of the challenges we face as a people (nation),stems from the wrong use of our tongues. The tongue is so powerful that,life and death is in its power.

    We have tamed dogs,snakes, elephants,birds, monkeys, fishes,infact every kind of known living things has been tamed by man to obey him. But no man has been able to tame his tongue! It's about the smallest part of our body,yet it's the most powerful. If we must succeed in life and cultivate peace in our environs,we must learn to restrain the use of our tongues. For instance,the overheated polity we are witnessing today,was mostly caused by the sensitive and insensitive comments flying in the media space...most of which are deliberate provocation from allegations and counter allegations.

    Yet till now,we haven't still realize the havoc an unruly tongue can wreck on us. From today's passage,we are introduced into the many evils of an unguarded tongue;;
    (1)It utters devouring words{Ps.52:2-4}
    (2) It's full of deceits and craftiness {Job 15:5}
    (3)It tells lies and commits sins{Pro.17:4}
    (4)It flatters and back bites{5:9}
    (5)It talks too much{Jer.18:18,Pro.25:23}
    (6) It's reckless and unguarded.
    (7)The devil is in charge of every unbridled tongue.
    (8) Unbridled tongue kills and destroys.
    (9) Unbridled tongue defiles a man.
    (10)It is evil in the sight of God.
    Rom.3:13,Matt.15:18-20.

    Looking at us today as believers, unbelievers,and as a nation,can we truthfully say,we aren't seeing the above listed character flaws in our lives? If your answer is in the affirmative,which I believe should be your answer,how can we peace then!

    Any of our wrong utterances can bring destruction,create problems for us,can bring to us untimely death,can earn us judgement instead of favour, even as believers,it can deny us answers to our prayers. It's no wonder then,when Solomon said....the tongue of the froward shall be cut out..Pro.10:31!
    Here is another thing Solomon said,when equating wealth and tongue (Pro.21:6)"The getting of treasures (riches) by a LYING TONGUE is a VANITY tossed to and fro of them that seek DEATH!

    I bet you remember,that Joseph's tongue got him into trouble,by revealing his dreams to his brothers, again,he had to spend extra two years in jail,when with his tongue he expressed confidence in the butler(man),when he begged him to tell Pharoah about him.

    We equally remembered the incidence of Peter's tongue being used by Satan to distract CHRIST JESUS from the Cross... don't forget also that Peter was a talkative.

    Coming home,we saw what unguarded utterances have done to God's shepherds,the most recent being Apostle Johnson Suleman among many others!

    Many issues that seemed to defy solution in our lives can or maybe linked to our unguarded utterances, CHRIST JESUS says in Matt.12:36,that every IDLE WORD(from our tongues)shall be judged!
    Scary... isn't it...but that's God's Word for us! That's why Paul asked us in Colo.4:6, to season our tongues with salt.

    Yet,we ain't hopeless. Because,if we surrender our unbridled tongues to CHRIST JESUS,HE is more than willing to heal them for us..Has.3:2. Thus,even right this moment,as we read this,we can try recollect all words unfitly spoken by us, and request them to be washed away by the BLOOD of CHRIST JESUS, Amen!

    May God bless us richly, and[HIS] purposefully direct us in this race towards the perfect man, in Christ Jesus Name I pray Amen!!!

    (8) Unbridled tongue kills and destroys.
    (9) Unbridled tongue defiles a man.
    (10)It is evil in the sight of God.
    Rom.3:13,Matt.15:18-20.

    Looking at us today as believers, unbelievers,and as a nation,can we truthfully say,we aren't seeing the above listed character flaws in our lives? If your answer is in the affirmative,which I believe should be your answer,how can we peace then!

    Any of our wrong utterances can bring destruction,create problems for us,can bring to us untimely death,can earn us judgement instead of favour, even as believers,it can deny us answers to our prayers. It's no wonder then,when Solomon said....the tongue of the froward shall be cut out..Pro.10:31!
    Here is another thing Solomon said,when equating wealth and tongue (Pro.21:6)"The getting of treasures (riches) by a LYING TONGUE is a VANITY tossed to and fro of them that seek DEATH!

    I bet you remember,that Joseph's tongue got him into trouble,by revealing his dreams to his brothers, again,he had to spend extra two years in jail,when with his tongue he expressed confidence in the butler(man),when he begged him to tell Pharoah about him.

    We equally remembered the incidence of Peter's tongue being used by Satan to distract CHRIST JESUS from the Cross... don't forget also that Peter was a talkative.

    Coming home,we saw what unguarded utterances have done to God's shepherds,the most recent being Apostle Johnson Suleman among many others!

    Many issues that seemed to defy solution in our lives can or maybe linked to our unguarded utterances, CHRIST JESUS says in Matt.12:36,that every IDLE WORD(from our tongues)shall be judged!
    Scary... isn't it...but that's God's Word for us! That's why Paul asked us in Colo.4:6, to season our tongues with salt.

    Yet,we ain't hopeless. Because,if we surrender our unbridled tongues to CHRIST JESUS,HE is more than willing to heal them for us..Has.3:2. Thus,even right this moment,as we read this,we can try recollect all words unfitly spoken by us, and request them to be washed away by the BLOOD of CHRIST JESUS, Amen!

    May God bless us richly, and[HIS] purposefully direct us in this race towards the perfect man, in Christ Jesus Name I pray Amen!!!
