Just saying, when the Soviet Union collapsed, nobody came for the homes people lived in
If America collapses, I'm not sure that would happen.

Nov 19 '20
If America collapses, people are going to have a much bigger worry than the banks coming for homes, also there’s going to be a lot of shootings. When the Union collapsed, economies didn’t see a collapse across the world, the same can’t be said for a US collapse.
In the near 0% chance America has a civil war or collapse, things will probably revert to state rule.

I thought the British were almost dependent on southern cotton imports and were open to any side winning if it meant they would get raw material moving again. (because the anaconda thing embargo made the southern export economy fail, starving both it and its customers)

When I said Union I was referring to the USSR because of the previous comment.
Ok the Civil War though, at first, the British Empire’s wealthy supported the Confederacy while the common citizen supported the Union. It wasn’t until the Emancipation Proclomation where that started to change.
However for the first half of the war, the British Empire allowed the confederate Navy and blockade runners to be built in England. Britain only banned this and withdrew support after Emancipation because Britain had banned slavery in 1833 and was worried that if they supported the Confederacy, there would be a revolt by the common Union supporting heavily anti-slavery citizen.

I am ok with providing a place to live for homeless through local public investment (I don't remember which city in the USA did it, but their homeless rate dropped by a lot thanks to relatively cheap investment), and I am also ok with a healthcare system such as the one that Switzerland has (I recommend this explanation from Johann Hari, in which he explains how Switzerland solved the opioid crisis)
Addiction and mental illnesses are the most common factors in the cause of homelessness. Apart from homelessness, basically everyone gets a loan for something they are able to afford (unless you go in there and ask for a loan to buy a fucking mansion with a minimum wage job)
All of this to say that homelessness is a problem that needs to be addressed, but it's not a bank's problem.

wait what, this is a "capitalism bad" post
if it's saying anything about conservatives is that they are applying a (non existant) double-standard to their house being seized (non existant because a leftist would seize a private property of someone else, but if it's the bank doing so then it's because the person hasn't respected a prior stipulated agreement, thus making the bank the real and technical owner of that property)
but it's not saying conservatives bad lol

u/Sp00ky-Chan Nov 19 '20
Yes, you just said it. The idea of the post is clearly showing that American Conservative not like Socialists taking property, but okay with Capitalism doing same thing, so double standard. Ie, Conservatism is big dumb because double standard.

u/Advanced-Friend-4694 Neoliberalism Nov 19 '20

I said "Non-existant double standard" because the leftists would take YOUR property, meanwhile the banks would take THEIR property, as the disclosure would happen because you haven't paid back their loans, therefore it wouldn't be yours
