Tell that to the bank as it forecloses on your house rendering you homeless.
The concept of debt is literally trade with a delay. I give you thing now, you give thing to trade for later. Because you don’t give now, you give better thing then I gave you later
This statement implies that we're born with debt through no fault of our own? Which, well, as a metaphorical debt to society, sure, but not in any literal sense? Your literal debts are not tied to your existence, they're tied to an agreement you made, if even under duress. Sure, you can argue that you're forced to go into debt for one thing or another, but it's not really the same thing as just being inherently indebted.
Remembering their name, OP is sadly infamous for their bad faith memes with tenuous relation to reality :/
I don't have a breeding fetish, but like, I get it.
I'll have what Karl is having...
That's Original Sin my guy, you've gone full horseshoe and are spouting the same nat-c delusions from a different angle.
They are not agreeing with the concept, they are explaining why debt is just a form of original sin.
Also horseshoe theory is a thought terminating cliche; you can compare the similarities of opposite things without the framework of "anything far enough from status quo is the same"
They do a real shit job explaining why Debt == Original Sin then. If you were born in debt it would make sense, but most people choose to take on debt, even if it's a Devil's Bargain, unlike being born with it!
I very much agree Horseshoe Theory is usually "both sides bad" bullshit designed to discredit varying views, but sometimes it's right, and morons with opposite views can reach similar conclusions by virtue of being morons.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk
I don’t believe nations should exist.
