"we need to get out of the mindset that work is the only value you have in life and that not working is criminal in some way. Start issuing universal basic income, fund education properly and crush poverty. If only 10% of people get out of menial work that exists for the sake of it existing and are given the freedom to be educated then we’re in a much better place as society"
This does not work as long as
- the rulers have no interest in educating people
- we are fed propaganda to further some agendae (mostly stalinist or excessively liberal)
- a fraction of the population is shouldering the load to actually generate revenue but taxed to a degree where they are sucked dry
- pension entry age for the aforementioned group is raised (again and again) to where you are working until you drop dead and those who do not work profit from that (that's called exploitation)
Example: I am handicapped, Hubby is handicapped. I work up to 10 hours/day, do not get regular lunch breaks. I am paid well, but I keep 2 families afloat. I am getting absolutely NO state or government subsidies or benefits of any kind. My health is deteriorating. Now people want me to support even more folks that have never worked and ask me to work until I drop dead. All under the pretext that I am white and therefore intrinsically racist. Why should I support his ?
but let us not deep dive into that. This will only lead to atonality .
