 Slight correction: “right to be educated”; If it requires someone else’s time, (shelter, healthcare, food), it’s not a right.

How god tested you made you who you are.  Be thankful for even those things you wish you could change about the past.  There are so many things I did that I would be tempted to go back and fix, but then I may never have become who I am. Thanks for sharing. 
 Much appreciated 🫂

I don't wish it never happened, I just feel that we should be empathetic even when people who need help deny it 
 I also feel strongly about the fact that education should be a right, and the same for food, water and healthcare.

Society is wealthy enough (or at least the ultra-rich are) to afford it 
 So it’s OK to steal as long as it’s something that you really need?  Using violence, or threat of violence, to take something, instead of a voluntary exchange is wrong, no matter the circumstances.

Get past the government brainwashing, you are almost there anyway if you are on Bitcoin and nostr. 
 Ever read "Les Misérables"? 

Yes, it's ok to steal if you really need something.

I never advocated violence or threat of violence. Ever. 
 But forcing someone to educate you is using force, aka violence.  If you have a right to education, then another person must give up their autonomy, because you have a right.  That is not a free society.

If you have a right to a house, then by extension, someone else must build the house.  Some slaves must build the house for you, because it is your right to a house.

A doctor must provide care for you, instead of feeding his own family.

So you see, you don’t have any right to those things, because that would violate the property rights of other people.  That is the communist brain rot that has infested our society for over 100 years, and probably killed more people than all wars ever fought, combined. 
 This is all not true, the state can pay for all these things. I'm not asking for slaves lmao 
 What will teachers do if not teach? What will doctors do if not heal?

People are already doing these things. I'm not asking for an engineer to give up his work and family to heal or educate.  
 My point is that people like Musk or Bezos could literally end world hunger with less than 0.01% of their fortune, yet choose not to bc they are greedy fucks and want a 30th mansion and a 10th yacht 
 Not paying for something does not equal stealing it 
 What would the negros in the southern US do if not pick cotton?  Clothing is a right, after all.  Someone has to do it, and they can, so why did we decide to end slavery?

The difference between slavery and freedom, is a mutually beneficial exchange, and one that isn’t.  You claiming that things that require the human time of others to produce, are human rights, lets you violate the rights of others, which always leads to massive human suffering.

Governments “paying for it” is the government stealing from one person to pay another…it’s still theft, just less personal.

Someone else being forced to buy something for you, “because they can afford it,” is still theft, you just don’t have the balls to do it yourself.  You hire out the dirty work to the government to shake down your fellow man.

Please, try to understand that only you belong to yourself, and I, myself.  Only if we want to exchange our talents, where it benefits us both, can we have a peaceful and just world. 
 Sure bud!

Keep on being delusional 
 What the fuck is wrong with rightists honestly

 The problem with politics is the same problem with sports teams. 

Often you're pressured into picking one because all your friends like that one or that's where you grew up so you have to represent. 

When your team is doing good, oh there's no better feeling right? You're on top of the world winning no matter what you do. But when your team is doing bad... Well I mean the other teams are worse but you're just having a bad night right? There's no way you could actually be...*gasp*wrong??? Is there???  
 Nah I'm not wrong :) anyone denying water, food or shelter to people because they 'didn't exchange currency for it' is a murderer and a sadistic individual with no empathy or morals. 
 But you aren't mentioning the Internet being a human right🤷🏽 
 Wtf does that mean?
The internet is not something you need
It's like a fancy car or a boat 
 Are you really trying to take me seriously? 

So I have to buy this nigga a boat ???  
 Bruh yes what you waiting for 
 Ok. I'm not made of money bruhhhh

 They should have a choice - someone who would force you against your will, is the person with no empathy or morals.  How can I be denying you something that I already own.  It belongs to me.  Go get your own or I’ll gladly trade a bullet. 
 Ew wtf wrong with you 
 It’s ok to be wrong, that’s how we get smarter. 
 I wish you would get smarter fr cause the fact you would deny food to anyone who's hungry shows you have zero morals and really only care about your shitty pitiful self
