Scarcity is in your stupid little head. Most human societies in world history have no problem feeding, clothing and housing ALL of their people. Nature is abundant. Jews, Christians and Capitalists love to promote the idea of scarcity to justify their greed. Think it through. If we eradicate billionaires everyone in the world could easily live like a medieval king. Greed is the issue. The Scarcity is in your head. It takes the form of brainwashed ignorance. Wake up.

You’re mistaking ideology for physics. Scarcity isn’t a mental illness or a capitalist illusion—it’s a fundamental part of reality. Let’s start with the human side: not everyone has the same cognitive capacity. That’s not oppression, that’s biology. Some people process abstract thought faster, reason more deeply, adapt more flexibly. Others don’t. That’s cognitive scarcity—a limitation in mental bandwidth, decision-making, and problem-solving that exists whether or not money is involved. A society pretending everyone’s thinking ability is equal is lying to itself.

Then there's resource scarcity. Even in the most fair and well-designed system, you’re still dealing with limited physical resources. Land, time, food, clean water, energy—all of it has hard limits. Nature isn’t an infinite buffet. You can’t feed the planet’s population with free-range steak and solar power forever without burning through ecosystems. Distribution systems help—but they don’t create more mass or energy. That’s not capitalism talking, that’s just physics.

Take oil. It’s a textbook example of geopolitical scarcity. It’s not evenly distributed, it’s expensive to extract, and its supply chains are vulnerable to war, sanctions, and sabotage. Countries don’t fight over illusions—they fight over limited, high-value resources. That’s scarcity in action. Denying it doesn’t make it go away.

And look, I’m not saying unchecked capitalism is perfect—it clearly isn’t. But not every system built on markets is broken. I lived and studied in Denmark. It’s a functional example of a socialist-capitalist hybrid with progressive taxation, strong welfare, and market-driven innovation. It works not because it denies scarcity or human inequality—but because it acknowledges both and manages them.

Honestly, it seems like you think the United States is the whole world. News flash: it’s not. The world is a lot bigger, more diverse, and more nuanced than the American binary of “greedy billionaires vs. exploited masses.” There are dozens of models—Singapore, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark—that prove it's not about denying scarcity or hating markets, it's about designing systems that adapt to reality instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.

So if you want to talk about greed, inequality, or better systems—let’s talk. But pretending scarcity is just “in your head”? That’s not a revolution, that’s just magical thinking.

Everyone has different intelligences and skills. Your standards here are arbitrary. Process abstract thought too slowly so you're scarce of intelligence? This is really stupid anti-logic, Marv. Your lacking brain cells doesn't mean that the planet can't feed everyone. Nature is abundant when respected. The problem is that Jews hate the natural world, and can't recognize their own mother in this regard.
