I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)
Sitewide rules apply
other rules
Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

You can also just give poor people money, which is actually the cheapest and most effective form of welfare by far, but chuds hate it because it doesn't come with any element of punishment or control.

It's effective for a short while until the lack of control changes behaviours which in turn makes the handouts unsustainable.

No, there is actually really good data on this. There are all kinds of people at all income levels who make better or worse choices about all kinds of things, but by far, the cheapest and most effective way to alleviate poverty is to give poor people money.

Sorry to break it too u but markets work better than government planning.
Individual actors allocate resources way more efficiently than a bureaucracy in charge of spending it on their behalf.
Sorry but ur socialist utopia where the government decides what people need doesn't work. If you got educated u would understand this better.

Any more gradeschool libertardian takes you wish to share?

No email address required.
Yes your a dumby
I'm not a libertarian I'm a liberal which means I believe in freedom of thought, freedom of expression, equality before the law, rule of law and not of men, free enterprise and freedom to pursue one's own happiness
It's a cluster of ideals rooted in enlightenment-era rejection of feudalism and hereditary rule
I also believe in evidence-based approaches to governance and policy rather than ideological approaches, which some would say makes me a neoliberal

Government planning literally cannot work without the market, since without the market there's no way to value things

The fact that you imagine everyone to be lazy, unmotivated, and uninterested in building a better life for themselves is not evidence that it is so.
There is actually really good data on this. There are all kinds of people at all income levels who make better or worse choices about all kinds of things, but by far, the cheapest and most effective way to alleviate poverty is to give poor people money.

not everyone, but certainly all poors. they're poor for a reason lol.
I'm not imagining, I'm watching.
You're ignoring your own observable reality in favor of "data" and "studies"
!sophistry there has to be some term for this right?
I saw someone say something like "actually chud they proved punishing crime doesn't deter criminals
"
like who is they??
why are some people so eager to completely ignore things they can see with they own eyes just bc an "expert" says the sky is green?
there's literally only two things fundamental to the concept of reward and punishment: reward and punishment
"There is really good data on this" yeah and there's also millions of poors easily observable in their habitat
They are poor because they are unmotivated and often make exceptionally bad choices.
rich people can't afford to blow 1/10th their net worth on sports betting every year
I just want to know what gets into your head that you can just tune all that out,
just because your worldview demands that all people are equal, blank slates in everyway. They just end up where they do in life out of pure randomness
what a confusing way to live, never able to draw conclusions or self actualize, everything out of your control.
