No need to work, we provide for your leisure...

Blogging about this kind of stuff is next to useless, because people prefer to ignore realities, and to go on living with (as much as possible) less care about things that are unpleasant and hard to control.

As such, page views in my posts are next to zero, and the work involved in writing them with care is unjustifiable.

So, I have 2 possible approaches: Give this up, or just start posting with a lot less care (and work).
I will give both approaches a try, and see what works better for me...

In this vein, here goes a new post, about the realities of the welfare state, that are the most extreme form  of society destruction for our rich, rotten, western civilization countries.

The votes in our democracies are all worth the same. It does not mater if one is a productive, useful member of the society, or if one is a parasite that just wants a free ride (on the back of those that still are willing to make efforts and to contribute with something useful ).
Naturally, since the resources to live a soft life don't fall out of the sky (be it food, clothing, lodgment, cellphones, cars, whatever), they still need to be produced by someone, they still need investment in factories, in agriculture, in mines, they still involve market risks, bankruptcies risks, savings done over time (i.e. deprivations) to get the resources to invest,etc..
The free riders just need to vote on the "liberal" lefties that will redistribute more and more to implement "social justice", and fight poverty, and all those "nice" easy, appealing feel-good approaches.
And it is easy to get majorities voting for entitlements.
Its is the well known curse of democracies:

Anyway, this is (for the moment) still extreme, and shows how socialism is being implemented FAST in the US, by the obamas that at present rule, there:

So, there!
Considering my new policy of reducing work in this blog, go and read the ZH post on this, and read the funny original article defending that (robing the productive - something that is obviously left unsaid) to pay for the entitlements of those that don't want to work is the good, correct, moral, thing to do:

No more comments are really needed.
In the future we will all be able to live of some very limited number of slaves - that will have to work really hard.
If we can continue to convince them that saving, investing, taking risks, and working really hard is only natural, because the state needs their taxes to redistribute (since they are the favored by the capitalist society unfair workings, and so many need their work to live as (free-riding) relatively dispossessed  poor) so much the better.
If not, well, things will turn out badly for all...

Peace!
