If it’s your opinion that people ought not be expected to actually be productive and support themselves - that’s your opinion and you’re welcome to it. It’s not mine. And I’m fine with eating the downvotes on that.

This isn't about downvotes. You are in favor of a mix of super complicated slavery and religion. You think it is fine for people to suffer and toil pointlessly. You are wrong.

Bullshit. I believe in reasonable pay for a day’s work, with benefits, and healthcare. I don’t believe people have a “right” to do nothing and get supported by society. Hopefully someday we’ll live in a post-scarcity world and everyone can do what they want. If people want to waste their lives doing nothing then - great. But we don’t live in that world now. Generating wealth requires effort. That wealth should be fairly shared - yes. It’s not today - I agree. I should be. But the people who are able-bodied and decide to do literally nothing useful? Tough shit.
