Calling Biden a socialist is an insult to socialism. (Of course I don't like socialism, but Biden is much worse.)

    We're going to get social and economic collapse. It will be notable.

    And it's what you deserve.

    People deserve the results they create.

    This notion of individual responsibility for everything that happens to one is a cockamamie Americanism/modernism.

    It's simply how reality works. Cause and effect.

    Every current circumstance is a direct result of past behavior. If results were disconnected from behaviors, then organisms would not engage in behaviors in the first place. (to say the least)

    Cause and effect

    Yes, but it's complex and group actions affect individual circumstances more than the other way round. In medieval times, if that means anything to you, people generally accepted their station in life as more or less inevitable and fixed. Pullin' yerself up by yer bootstraps is kind of a modern Americanism.

    Every current circumstance is a direct result of past behavior.

    Not only yours and mine, though. But our ancestors'. And those of their allies and foes, too.

    If results were disconnected from behaviors, then organisms would not engage in behaviors in the first place.

    Disagree. Most organisms (very much including the one classified as homo sapiens sapiens) are not even sentient/self-aware. So they don't care why they engage in behaviors. They respond to stimuli (humans also respond to complex social stimuli known as incentives). And there is environmental feedback to behavior. But it works on evolutionary timescales, mostly. Organisms are genetically pre-programmed. Can the programming be modified? Yes, but this works mostly on group level.

    An individual human lifetime is simply too short and, in the present era, too bereft of tradition, to be able to really have enough "training" for peeps to be expected to have real responsibility on individual level.

    group actions affect individual circumstances more than the other way round.

    Joining or remaining part of a group is a behavior.

    So they don't care why they engage in behaviors.

    Doesn't matter if they care, or if they're aware. The totality of their behaviors has resulted in them being alive as a species. A subset of their behaviors as a species along the way has removed those whose behaviors result in death.

    Peeps don't have to accept responsibility; Reality will do that for them on an individual basis. See that video I posted today where the bullies taunted and abused their neighbor until he shot both of them to death.

    On the larger timeline, our collective behaviors as a species (vis-à-vis overpopulation, pollution, moral degeneracy, and jewish supremacy) appear poised to result in consequences far beyond the expectations of most people. As a member of this species with no way to cancel membership, I have to accept the role I've played in creating this impending future.

    This is not always the case. Sometimes people create results out desperation, ignorance, illness and similar reasons. But this is not what happened here. Americans are pure evil scum and deserve to suffer much more harshly than they do now.
