0	Men's version of Tea app? You don't need it. You know she's a ho, bud	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	27/07/25 11:56 PM
1	Feminism for the 99% This is not actually what happens in the vast majority of cases, though. A local economy would have to be exceptionally small, narrow, and inefficient for the opening of one supermarket to crash it. So much so that I question whether Walmart would site a store in a place with so few customers. Walmart sells a lot of different goods, but nowhere close to everything a populace consumes over a lifetime. In no way would it be something like the sole employer for the geography it serves. What actuall…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 11:13 PM
-4	Feminism for the 99% It's not supposed to be easy to have your entire life paid for in return for jack shit. That's actually quite a lot to ask of your neighbors; it's normal to want to verify that the need is legitimate. And it's a blessing to live in a society that tries to provide that for people who need it, even if that provision is imperfect. Your understanding of commerce and economic growth is pitiable though. Billionaires aren't drinking much Colt 45. Have producers stopped making malt liquor? No they fucki…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 10:18 PM
0	Feminism for the 99% Please tell me who I must speak to to obtain my $50k check for doing nothing. The key word is "consumption". This is not a check for $50,000 cash, it is the total value of welfare benefits such as food assistance, housing assistance, medical care, and more, afforded to the indigent. It varies by state because states also have different welfare programs. Trillions. With a T. Sitting idle in offshore tax haven accounts disagrees with you.

-7	Feminism for the 99% The level of reward for those who succeed in meritocracies also needs to be limited for the sake of society. We can have a minimum and a maximum, and still have a meritocracy. We have a minimum floor standard of living in every advanced economy: welfare. In the U.S., this amounts to a consumption level of about $50,000 annually, which is pretty substantial considering you can obtain this for effectively zero work output. We do not have a ceiling level of anything, there does not need to be, and …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 08:42 PM
-1	Feminism for the 99% You can work hard as fuck and be highly competent at something that other people just don't want very much. That is unfortunate, but using the force of government to make people buy things they don't want at higher prices than they would otherwise pay is not helpful to society.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 07:51 PM
2	Feminism for the 99% arguments for it usually presuppose that everyone is starting from the same position and has the same opportunities. No, they don't. Arguments for meritocracy go like this: "It doesn't matter that everyone didn't have a chance to be an engineer. We cannot the bridges fall down. We cannot let the planes crash." In other words, however you got there, the only important thing should be whether you can do the task or not. Results, not feelings. It is understood and accepted that everyone starts out …	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 05:00 PM
10	Feminism for the 99% The passage in the OP even does that. The author states "equality" but clearly defines it as equal outcomes, i.e. equity.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 03:51 PM
15	Feminism for the 99% I'll never understand people who dislike meritocracy. Everyone is not going to be equally good at every job. Not all jobs are equally difficult or valuable. Disliking these basic facts does not make them go away.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	07/03/25 03:03 PM
