I believe it is fact JasonCarswell when I enter the grocery store, gas station, clothing store, shoe store, car dealerships, parts stores, construction supplies and find these items are in full abundance I can properly infer the economy has not collapsed. People that are homeless were never trained to compete in this world or are simply unable due to many reasons some of which are entirely not their fault: and we have safety nets in the form of welfare and housing for this, which is still funded by the way further supporting my assertion. You sound like chicken little the sky is not falling.

First world privilege on the backs of second and third world suffering, even in your own nation.

I feel sorry for you as you have no compassion for anyone, except perhaps your little tribe. Folks like you are the problem, especially when they rise to power.

I imagine you view yourself as some Canadian warrior of the 21st century typing your cares for the backs of the second and third world all the while your very existence depends on labor of poor and uneducated. Extricate yourself from the web of lies spun before your eyes and do some soul-searching. You, as a Westerner, won the birth lotto and attempt to distance your own privilege from the noble cause of charity while actually donating nothing. Do you volunteer? Do you donate? Why are you still in Canada if it is such a horrible place? Move to Djibouti and show the world of VOAT how serious you are about the evil Capitalist empire. Or, keep your pity for tribe you love to worship.

Unlike you it seems, I don't deny my hypocrisy. However, if you saw my lifestyle, I think you'd realize I do my best, far more than others in my community and nation. And I'm actually trying to make the change I want to see.

I know about the lies. Our entire Western culture is manufactured on them.

I know I'm FAAAAAR luckier than the vast majority on this Earth.

Find me a big charity that is not corrupt. The best way to get $5 to someone is to put it in their fist. I do my best daily to help those around me, in person and online.

I don't worship anything much less a tribe or dogma.

I never said any such thing.

ALL organized religion is as much bullshit as government.

There's no fucking way I'm giving anything much less 10% to any church.
