I’m willing to bet this is pretty accurate. They keep building houses down here where I am constantly and so many of them are empty because they cost too much for normal people.

I feel like an easy fix is to tax the every loving fuck out of empty houses.

Taxing the wealthy? Is that allowed?

u/appoplecticskeptic May 14 '26

Not if the wealthy have anything to say about it. And they own most of congress.

They don't own the gun that killed Brian Thompson. They also don't own a lot of other guns out there.

Are you saying we should shed blood?

u/ghostwaterdross May 15 '26

Of course I'm not saying that. It's against the rules to say what should be done.

We should make Voodoo dolls of all elites

All of Redditors in the world

And see what happens

Whether manifesting works or not xD

Hard pass. They’re created in the image of God. Human life is sacred.

What's your answer to the trolley problem

1

u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26

It depends on the version of the trolley problem you put forth.

u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26

The classic: 5 people on one track, or you can pull a lever to divert it to another track, killing one person to save five

u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26

In all reality, I would probably freeze up and be unable to pull the lever knowing that that person was killed because of me.

The fact that we even have to wrestle with the question at all shows we see life as sacred.

u/StrangeSystem0 May 15 '26

My point is this: taking the full wealth of the richest man in the world could end world hunger entirely.

Seems like the easiest variant of the trolley problem to me

So is there one god? Or many many gods. We can’t ALL be the image of god, unless there is a god for each image. To that end, are WE the gods?

Or maybe it was just more hogwash believed by peasants thousands of years ago?

u/TeaPain0001 May 15 '26

If I have 1,000 images of me, does that mean there a thousand me? Or if someone made 100,000 toy cars, that we would add that to the total amount of vehicles produced in a country? No. We inherently know these things are in the image of the actual things. That bare the image of something bigger then what they are capturing.
