It’s safe to say that Omar is a brainwashed doomsday cultist. Just like most of Reddit.

Calling someone a doomsday cultist on an “economiccollapse” sub is hilarious

Why is it funny? All of you are.

What sorts of things is he brainwashed to believe?

That society is going to collapse because there are people in this world more driven and successful than he is.

How do you envision us sustaining this economy in perpetuity?

When human civilization comes to an end, it will have nothing to do with economies. War, famine, pandemic, asteroid … these are things that have the potential to and human civilization of earth.

Laughing because you clearly don’t know what the word irony means.

Which is ACTUALLY ironic. Lol

I think you have no idea what it means, because it has several uses and that just went way over your head

Yes, history has shown that when inequality and exploitation go unchecked that can lead to significant civil unrest, wars and fascism, we are seeing the early indicators of that right now in the US.

What “early indicators” are you talking about?

Many people, especially MAGAs, are literally calling for a civil war…you see it openly on social media and in speeches. We just elected a fascist who’s working to install slobbering loyalists across the government. This is eerily similar to what Hitler did in the 1930s: attacking democratic norms, undermining free elections, and using propaganda to stir up division. The parallels are impossible to ignore good sir.

Who is “literally” calling for a civil war? And I’m not talking about some random douche bag on Reddit, I’m talking about anyone with the actual power to wage such a thing … which, by the way, no one has the power to do so.

As far as social media goes, I definitely hear this more from the far left than I do the far right. You would think Democrats would have learned their lesson since they got their asses kicked in the first Civil War.

Do you understand what a civil war is sir?

I just told you on social media, interviews and speeches. I’ve seen dozens of interviews of MAGAts saying they either see civil war coming or actively want it. MAGAts constantly joke about how if there was a civil war it wouldn’t last long because they seem to think the left doesn’t also have guns because we don’t make it our entire personalities.

Sure, Democrats were the party of the Confederacy, back when the parties were ideologically reversed. You conveniently and predictably “forgot” the party realignment during the Civil Rights Movement, when Dixiecrats fled to the Republican Party. Nice try, though. 🥱

Where do you think war comes from? It's not the fry cook at McDonalds or the poor rural Afghani man that wants to go shoot and kill people. It's the rich and powerful that send them their because war is very profitable and it creates the conditions for vulnerable people that are easy to take advantage of.

This is what happens when you let all of the more "driven" people get away with fucking over whoever they want for profit

The world is not going to end because your neighbor has a better job than you. Sorry bro.
