A lot of people who have money magically deposited into their bank account every month without lifting a finger baffled at the suggestion that they might not have earned it.https://twitter.com/existentialcoms/status/1243982563061813251 …

do you consider social benefits to be theft? they're earned without work. The idea that money only comes from work seems pretty antisocial
We democratically decided to pool resources and in order to give benefits to people in need. I don't remember electing my landlord or boss for the position of "owning things and taking money out of my paycheck every week".

So when your fridge breaks down, who is responsible for it? Who is responsible for regular building maintenance? Property tax? Risk if something happens to the building? Is it you? Or is your landlord actually providing a service and you prefer to ignore it.

I was conscripted into this Democratic system that takes my money and gives to others. If you pay rent, you entered voluntarily into an agreement with another person to pay them for your dwelling. Your argument is nonsensical.

Don't live in their house. Don't work for them. Someone else will be happy to take up your slack.

A few weeks ago, I learned that my boss is leaving the team I am on. I started a conversation with a new boss, and today signed a contract to work under him instead. Yes, I chose my own boss. You can do the same if, and this is a big if, you can find someone to hire you.

But we democratically elected leaders that support laws that support this. What's the difference?

Why did that need to be explained? Do ppl seriously not comprehend that we all pay into the social safety net
-
We don’t “pay” into the social safety net. They take. And those who refuse are punished with escalating levels of force until they submit and are punished by fining or prison... or the state murders them.

You did by agreeing to pay rent and taking the job
