Why don't they just take wood from the bad secondary forests instead of virgin wood?

They are not "extracting" money - they are "extorting" money. They are using the threat of jail and violence against you to "take" your money against your will. We MUST call these things what they really are if we are ever to change people's minds.

Amen to that, lots wouldnt need to use gov assistance if they kept more of their money

I don't even know why this garbage is in my feed. I am too far libertarian to ever buy into this bullshit again. Taxes only exist to steal your savings, which eventually central banking devalues. We need less government across the board. Defund the government.

What do you mean they don’t pay for social services, that’s what they are for

you are a communist

Wealth inequality is NOT an issue. There is no reason wealth should ever be equal. Ability is not equal. Motivation to succeed is not equal. Effort is not equal. It is moronic to think the outcome should be equal.

@@johnnynick3621You are suggesting that as a society we should value hard work over kindness/generosity. One could work hard to become rich but this usually only leads to personal gain, and in some cases is even done in extremely unethical ways. However there are other people in this world who work equally as hard for things like non-profits, that actually benefit our society. For example, Ross (Nerdy about nature) here works really hard to make these videos for us yet due to the low popularity of this channel received little to no money out of this. He does this only to share his knowledge and ideas with us and hope to make a positive impact. So personally I think this kind of work should be valued more than the greedy selfish one of the richest 1%.

@@johnnynick3621You are suggesting that as a society we should value hard work/motivation over kindness and generosity. One could work really hard and become rich but most of the time that is for selfish reasons, and is sometimes even done in unethical ways. However there are other people who work as hard or harder on things like non-profits that actually improve our society instead of the greedy life of an individual. For example, Ross (nerdy about nature) here works extremely hard to put these videos together, yet judging by the low popularity of this channel makes little to no money out of it. Why does he do this? To share his knowledge and ideas with us in hope of making the world a better place. So if you ask me, it is that type of work we should be encouraging rather than the one of the greedy individuals that make the rest of us have unnecessarily difficult lives.

@@Gibbonologist Yes, Gibbon, I definitely value work, intelligence and motivation over kindness and generosity. Every human is selfish - we ALL act in our own best interests. That does NOT require rational people to cause HARM to others - that is IRRATIONAL. But acting in one's own rational self-interest is moral and necessary for life. I hold NO VALUE in the good intentions of others. I rely on the productivity of others - and they rely on MY productivity. We trade voluntarily - value for value. We neither seek alms from each other nor attempt to FORCE each other to provide what we seek. Hard work, by itself, earns NO reward. Unless your work results in the production of things others want and are willing to trade for, hard work accomplishes nothing. Try digging a ditch in your yard and then filling it in when you are done. You worked hard but accomplished nothing. You earned nothing. We are at a crossroad in building a civilization. Man is NOT naturally civilized. Man is inclined toward violence - using FORCE to take what he wants and needs. The act of civilizing man requires that we teach men that using FORCE to acquire what we want is uncivilized and will NOT be tolerated in society. Most of you are not yet civilized. You advocate the initiation of FORCE to acquire your wants and needs. Most of the Earth's societies are actually going backward - away from civilization - toward violence and anarchy. In a civilized society - initiation of the use of FORCE is ALWAYS immoral. In EVERY instance and for ANY purpose - including your good intentions.

He does NOT have a good heart. Stop doing that. He is advocating that the government use FORCE against a certain class of people and threaten to put them in prison unless they give up property they own. That is extortion. That is evil. It doesn't matter WHY they are doing it. Using FORCE to take people's rightful property is ALWAYS wrong.

No - voices like his need to be ignored. Those of you advocating that the government use FORCE against others to confiscate their property are highly immoral. It is NEVER morally acceptable to initiate FORCE against others - for ANY reason.

I also love how you actually directly attack the very economic forces that are pushing for the destruction of forests Which is all the more reason for me to be concerned Are you ok?
