from the bible "Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. "

hear we have a verse where underpaying workers is linked with the displeasure of God. Not only that but the actual profit itself is the source of condemnation and punishment

yeah based on what Jesus did say about wealth, fair treatment of others and community it is reasonable to deduce that He wouldn’t have been pro capitalist.

this argument is not so strong though the issue there was that they were doing business in the temple. There are many many verses and themes in Jesus’s teaching, the rest of the new testament, and old testament that while capitalism didn’t yet exist to criticise very explicitly critique and reject the moral and philosophical basis for capitalism.

And while Socialism didn’t exist yet a lot of proto-socialist groups and movements such as the 1381 peasants revolt and diggers (who are arguably the origin of anarchism) had explicit Christian origins so similarities between Christian religious values and Socialist values are no coincidence

Von Braun was not just guilty by association he utilised concentration camp slave labout

I mean, cyclists are often very reckless, dangerous people on the road

you should try interacting with cars as a pedestrian or cyclist. There are people driving on the roads now that I wouldn’t trust to safely ride in a pram let alone use of heavy machinery at high speed in a public area based on a test they did years ago. If car use was held to the same standard as safely using heavy machinery in an industrial environment a lot of people who drive now wouldn’t be let near a car. It’s like people think they have a god given right to operate heavy machinery despite having no ability (or inclination) to do so safely and doing it around children

also bikes don’t actually have turn signals and when you use your arm to signal it means you have less control of the bike while you do it

I remember this one motorist who as a hillarious joke would almost run me over. Not a fan of his

the trans hate is actually quite surprising as it has in many ways gotten way worse lately

that’s not remotely true. The union movement is quite robust and actively serves a real need. The only thing that could actually kill the union movement would be a fully communist society and unions subsequently becoming redundant

when the rich get caught for drug use they go to rehab

also drug addiction is arguably something that the word treatment would be more applicable for

if you said pass me that sandwich would a reasonable person assume you meant that in which case no

that would just be a new app and why would tiktok cooperate with that. There isn’t as much money in that area and even if there was an educational app kids would go on tiktok instead of it
