If the choice is work or starve there is no choice.


The choice is to die. No one is forcing you to exist on this earth. If you wish to survive, procure the means for your survival.

Truly the Christian position.

Epictetus. If life is intolerable you are free to quit it. If working is evil, no one can force you to do evil. Do not worry about circumstances outside of your control.

I was looking for the "You are very special, sit on your ass and demand the Romans feed you." line. Do you know where it is?

In our relations with other people we are to be governed by the attitudes Epictetus calls “modesty” (aidōs) and “love of humanity”(philanthrōpia). Modesty consists in an awareness of the perspective of others and a readiness to curtail one’s own unseemly behavior; love of humanity is a willingness to exert oneself on others’ behalf. The latter extends especially toward those with whom we are associated by our particular role in life: toward children if one is a parent, toward husband or wife if one is married, and so on (2.10, 2.22.20). While our best service to others is in helping them develop their own rational nature, it is also entirely appropriate that we should act to further the temporal interests of those to whom we are connected by birth or situation.

Public sector unions, yes. Private sector, absolutely not.

I could never have the level of cognitive dissonance you have, where you can believe a guy is God walking among us and reject everything he says that is even mildly inconvenient.
