Gone should be the days of kings, we should be beyond the point of individuals or even corporations that amass more fortunes than many countries. Crimes against humanity fueled by the greed of material wealth...

Fuck unrestricted wealth... Such poison to the mind and society as a whole.

I'm not exactly advocating for socialist policies but the current capitalistic system isn't working... The rules need to be re-tuned to fairness so wealth inequality can go full throttle like this.

End monopolies and protect public (and take back those that should be) infrastructure around commodities that support our modern civilization (communication, transportation, education, energy, water; to name a few).

yeah man world poverty and hunger declining instead of rising sure is a crime against humanity fueled by greed

fuck your dumb perspective that would only lead to more poverty and more hunger

what's poisonous to the mind and society is idiots like you who want to hamstring the one thing that has raised people out of the depths of poverty and want... wealth creation.

go live in venezuela or argentina with rampant inflation and crime and shortages of basic consumer goods and get a taste of the results of what you're advocating

Yikes, such hostilities. Ya know, it sometimes helps to untwist the stick out of your ass before interacting with others. And still, people wonder whats stagnating change for the better in this world. Why waste your breath if all you are going to do is attack people? You aren't helping anyone, you aren't refuting anything or changing any minds for that matter.

What exactly do you think I'm advocating here exactly? Because you come across as someone who thinks in the extremes. Either someone/something is one way or the other, never a blend in between.

Why does everyone seem to think wealth is the save-all solution for humanity's problems? It's a mechanism for shifting influence and power not it's source. Knowledge is the real power; money doesn't go far without an understanding on how to use it (or for what purposes). One of the most important inventions in history is the internet for this very reason. People didn't rise out of poverty because of wealth, they rose out of poverty because they, be it maybe by chance, found out they were on the losing end of the deal in life and a means to change that. From the spoken to written word and the printing press up to the dawn of the internet.

I've already wasted more time than I wanted to here as I expect less from the quality of your retorts. If you want to actually try and open some actual dialogue, instead of dismissive, cowardly attacks, then maybe we can build some bridges here.
