I will never accept the concept of money

If you have more, you can buy people

People are not items, or property. This is part of my issue, here. We don't have enough people doing genuine work in the world and the inevitable classism caste system that comes with money gaslights too many people... the concept is mutually exclusive with our long term survival as a species. We are actively destroying our only habitat over it.

That's only true if you accept it. I do not. Somewhere along the line in our history, some smart person gave up on trying to teach his fellow tribespeople the way after he or she figured out their stupidity made them easy to manipulate. This decision was probably originally made under pressure from the environment; he or she needed their people to do certain things, but they wouldn't listen because the other elder was dead or something like that. At the time, it worked well enough... now the precedent is an evolutionary trap.

Yes, some smart person realized that one could harvest a surplus of food, thus leadingsome people doing work not involving food production, thus leading to a division of labor, thus leading to a needs to place value to said division of labor, thus currency being developed.

Of course, like your example, it didn't really happen like this, but it was closer to reality for sure.

I wonder what it would be like to wipe with a fist full of dollars....would it technically be defacement of government property? Would it chafe?

Not a good idea, considering that it's awfully germ riddled and might have traces of drugs.  Best clean it first, but don't let the Feds know.

I understand they don't like people laundering money.

Uhhhh...yeah....especially those kidnapped and brought over on boats forcibly. They just accepted that shit. Fuck you, Lasty. You’ve done nothing but shitpost for weeks now. Quitting smoking is one thing, but your shit posting needs to get the fuck out of here.

She is correct. She should know.

YOU put words in your mouth.

You just said “slavery doesn’t exist”, or even worse “slaves chose to be enslaved”, which is just fucking wrong. So no, fuck YOU, asshole. Take your dumbass shit elsewhere. Better yet, pick up a history book. You fucking need to, because you’re obviously the mental midget who won’t “accept the concept of money” because you think you’re being edgy and cool. Get the fuck over yourself. Your argument is fucking stupid and invalid. Just accept it. You lose here. How do I know? I was born darker than a sheet of paper. My people were fucking property for a long ass time, and it WASN’T THEIR FUCKING CHOICE. FUCK, even another part of my heritage was put on “reservations” as property. Their crime? THEY FUCKING LIVED HERE FIRST.

TL;DR: Your argument is stupid and invalid. So fuck you. Fuck your hopes. Fuck your dreams. Fuck your relationships. Fuck your family. Shame and dishonor to them and your cow.

Oh cool I can jump in on this too. My semi recent ancestors were packed into trains for not being Aryan enough and sent to death camps. Guess Gramma was bored chilling on her farm and instead wanted the challenge of escaping a death camp and shooting Nazis. Totally her choice in life.

Exactly. They weren’t property or anything. They just accepted they were. They weren’t forcibly put there. They were manipulated into thinking they belonged to someone else, not concerned with guns and fear or death or some shit.

History aside, people are still getting kidnapped, sold and exploited.
Shitty world we live in.

As far as money, it's a necessity as long as their are lazy and entitled people.
It also simplifies trading.
