Here's a story...

... a true story to show just who we’ve become:

Quote:

Once there was a native tribe that lived in peace and harmony for thousands of years, and every day the routine was the same: hunters would go out from the tribe and when they returned, the bounty from the hunt was shared equally by all members of the tribe. No one went hungry when food was available, not even the weak, the sick, or the elderly.

One day, the most skilled hunter said, “I’m the best hunter. I kill more than my share of deer. Why should I share the bounty of my hunt?” And from that day forward he began storing his meat in a high mountain cave. And then other skilled hunters said, “We kill more than our fair share of deer too. Shouldn’t we have the right to keep the bounty of our hunt?” And they too began to store their meat in high mountain caves.

And then, something began to happen in the tribe that had never happened before. Some people, especially the old, the weak, and the sick, began to go hungry while others were well-fed. In fact, it became so commonplace that no one even thought it unusual that some were starving while others had more than what they needed.

And what’s even more strange, the tribal elders began to teach their young to emulate the hoarding habits of these few.

Now that story isn’t true because it happened. It’s true because it’s happening. We are that tribe.

I ask that those active in the raid discussions really take a good look at this :)

Alternate version.

Greatest hunter realized if he took the extra meat he had he could use it to coax the women of the village to give him blow jobs.

Other hunters realized they too could use their extra deer meat to trade for blow jobs.

Thus Capitalism was born.

However, one day the Greatest hunter realized if he killed off the other hunters then only He would have meat to trade for blow jobs.

So he did. However, despite his great virility he could only have so many blow jobs per day and thus the women of the village began to felicitate him for less and less meat. Eventually only the most skilled givers of blowjobs were able to adequately feed their family.

Because he was now the only hunter in the village and he controlled who ate and who did not, none were able to grow strong enough to challenge him. Those who attempted to farm or domesticate animals too were slaughtered by the Greatest hunter, in order to maintain his grip on the blow job market.

Thus the village realized the folly of unchecked Capitalism.

I was referring to the propaganda you were pushing, not the failed story of capitalism you were portraying.

This sounds like Nihilum on Red, except substitute blow jobs for meaningless pixels on a 14 year old elf simulator.

Alternate version.

One day the strong hunter was tired and decided not to go hunt.

He realized he was getting fed anyway even when he was not feeling like going to hunt.

he stopped hunting.

His fellow hunters saw this and figure they do the same.

Eventually there was no more hunters.

The tribe went extinct.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
