there was a welfare state in roman times?
>>23395064
Yep. The people in Italy were exempt from tax under most emperors. Some dynasties had more welfare then others. When Augustus took over, he borrowed a bunch of money to give to the plebs and buy them bread.One emperor even gave 35 denari to every citizen in Rome when he took over. It was all about winning the mob over. Like how democrats are pretty much able to buy votes from the poor today.

"But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; and the realist adjusts the sails.(William Arthur Ward)"
"So you have enemies. Good. You must have stood up for something, sometime in your life."
“Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.”

If you can't see the sharp decline of the United States over the last six years, and if you don't realize that making ~30 million of South America's most undesirables instant citizens won't finish the job, you are probably a leftist shill.
It's simple math.
>>23397102
If you can't see that America has had its ups and downs throughout history and has always sprung back with gusto, then you need to take Putin's cock out of your mouth and look at Russian quality of life. It's been on a decline for 40 years.

I can't hear you with your face mashed up against Putin's crotch.
You should lay off the cheap vodka and stop dryhumping your SKS.
Being open to the starving huddled masses and being clear on the stance of not giving a fuck about your stupid laws and that to come here means going through the effort of adapting to how we do things, and leaving some of your old ways behind... Those are not mutually exclusive.
Putin isn't saying immigrants stay out exactly, just if you come here be prepared to act like a goddamn Russian and live like a goddamn Russian. The US was not terribly different up until recently if any of my older family is to be believed. We have too many pussies that bend to every lazy fucker who doesn't wanna change their lifestyle from their shithole yet expect their life to be better simply because they are here.

>The people in Italy were exempt from tax under most emperors.
No.
The rich people in Italy were exempt from taxes, considering they were the ones filling up the Senate, which made all the laws (see where this is going?).
Free citizen farmers bore the brunt of the taxes, if they couldn't afford to pay them, the government would seize their land, which would be bought and consolidated by one of the land-owning rich, who relied more on cheap slaves than the now out of work farmers, for labour. Bereft of their land (many of these farmers were former soldiers, whose land was seized while they were away) the former farmers went to the cities looking for work, and found very little, since slaves had displaced urban workforces as well. The Crassus, of Spartacus fame, built his fortune doing this! At its height, the unemployment rate of Rome was 25%!!!
The result of this was the decline of the Roman middle class, over hundreds of years, ultimately resulting in the serfdom system that stymied us for hundreds of years after. As even skilled labour became cheap, when the skills didn't disapeer entirely.

You might be right.
They have certainly been the most noticeable ones. I don't know if that's because they are the worst, the mass spread of information now, or just a build up to the fall.
The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed - where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he’s finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son’s diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

The economic collapse combined with overspending on the wars were the first two nails.
Slow recovery, weak government on domestic issues, and the overall deadlock of the government, have been major stumbling blocks in getting things back in order. Sadly Obama turned out to be better at campaigning than running the country, even if the GOP bears a lot of blame for digging in their heels on so many issues purely out of spite.. I think in any other climate, he would have been an 'okay' President (like Bush Sr, or Clinton), but not a Great one.
The point is, pretty much everyone in a position of power (economic and bureaucratic) deserves some of the blame, because they haven't done enough to respond to the economic crisis, and restore stability and confidence of people in the system. It's too much to hope for another JP Morgan to come along, and just inject money into the stock market, to help make up the books of all the transactions dealing with money that was math-ed into existence.
>>23395109
>One emperor even gave 35 denari to every citizen in Rome when he took over. It was all about winning the mob over.
Jesus this has been happening for over 2000 years.
You know, it seems to me like the central cause of almost every major problem in the known world is that living costs time and effort.
Starving kids in Ethiopia starve because nobody can make enough food to have any left for them.
Wars are fought over the supplies needed to keep us living comfortably--the oils and lands of others.
And corrupt officials search greedily for money, because they need food, and because the people who build their mansions need food, and because the people who make their fast cars and luxury jets need food.
"Welfare" is just a patch for this hole in the world--and, though a properly-organized welfare system can keep someone from starving, the one we have is not organized well at all, and it still isn't a permanent solution.
Nor is the destruction of Capitalism going to solve anything; all that will do is make it harder to understand whether or not the farmer will give you his wheat, and the baker his bread. In fact, nobody has made a Communism on a large scale without turning it back into a Capitalism by creating a currency.
What we really need is immortality--the ability to live without needing food, water, shelter, or any sorts of things. And even then, there will be conflict and corruption, because we've shown time and again that we'll even fight over things that we don't need.

...in the defense of the Obamaphone, you need an internet connection and a printer to be able to apply to some jobs. And the ones that don't need a printer still need the internet connection.
And even with the few places that don't force you to spend a few hundred dollars on a computer and another 50-100 a month for the internet, you need a way to be contacted.
Put simply, they do need to get off their asses and work, and that'll be good for them--but before they get to work, they need things that only money can buy.

Honestly, I think the decline is bound to happen either way. After all, America's great rise came from the economic vaccuum created by the destruction of Europe after two world wars. Now, not only the US fights for space against a restored Europe but with several other countries that were jumpstarted into modernity in the last 50 years.
I think the greatest tragedy of the US in the last decades though, was losing her manufacturing base. I know the most market driven minds here will call me out on this, but taking protectionist measures and even punishing enterprises sending their industries over seas for cheaper labor are the best way to fight the decline
Probably the most /k/ related quote I can think of right now is from one of my favorite songs.
"To find the meaning of hidden truth,
Do what thou wilt, and arise with thy power
If love is the law, love under will.
Destroy all that leads you astray
This is the end, the beginning of the wrath
Where time stands still, for those with no time left.
Embrace the cold, the bitter unknown
A sacred walk, now is the time.
Transitioning from earthly to eternal
A voiceless echo resounds
A shallow crater engulfs them all
ARISE
you are alive"
