This is correct. Reganite policies/ideology beget a lumpenproletariat incapable of accessing work, while simultaneously bolstering a lack of incentive/desire to want to work. It then gives the Reganites a scapegoat, which strengthens class divisions and obfuscates the real issues at hand. People will find meaning in work when it actually gives them something in return to live for.
The homeless are forced to survive somehow, requiring some amount of toil to persevere. These are generally not people incapable of or unwilling to work, if given the chance to make a real living. Laziness is a product of bloated Reganite policies that generate meaningless, unproductive and unsustainable labor, it entrenches a mindset of helplessness in those who realize whatтАЩs going on so it de-incentivizes labor, and it keeps the boot on those who are already struggling.
This is a lot of BS. Not backed by statistics nor reality.
People will generally pursue what delivers short-term endorphins to their own detriment. They will consume even more hours of entertainment if someone else will just cover enough of their expenses. They feel entitled to that for some reason.
Working for a living in a modern market economy replaces the reality of human existence and evolution that comprises 99% of our time on this planet where we had little time to lay on the couch, eat chips, watch porn, post idiocy on Reddit and play video games. The human animal will become apathetic depressed lumps of flesh without needing some routine struggle to survive and within that struggle a pathway to socioeconomic advancement.
If people are intrinsically driven to labor in some form or fashion, that it's instinct (as you indicate), how could anyone spend their entire life consuming "entertainment", not become bored, AND survive a socialist society where "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" was the creed? The "human struggle" will not disappear.
Welfare does not create entitlement. Our modern market economy and current iteration of ideological capitalism has PRODUCED what you seem to despise the most. Apathy is born of burnout, exhaustion, and feelings of helplessness in the face of insurmountable odds. The answer is not always to just grind down harder - but to find a way to make the struggle successful, efficient, attainable, and worthwhile.
I have never been bored. If I was unemployed, and I was never for long, I was working on the next step to be working again.
Being bored is for losers.
You could make the claim that capitalism has produced what I despise if that were true, but it is not. Corporatism is not capitalism. We have a corporatist system where big business and big government are now significantly the same and the government side is 80% Democrat.
Like literally never? Never had illness or injury where they rush you to the hospital for a whole lotta hurry-up-and-wait? Or do you always have your blackberry along when that happens so you can polish your resume on the gurney?
I am seldom bored. The world's a fascinating place, so even when my body poops out on paid work, I usually find ways to avoid the devil's playground тАФ or I'd like to think they're ways, but who can really be sure when they're not getting paid for it, amirite?
"You could make the claim that capitalism has produced what I despise if that were true, but it is not."
Capitalism would never produce "what delivers short-term endorphins to [what you judge is] their own detriment", something you do, indeed, seem to despise? Only corporatism does that?
I have plenty of praise for free markets, but c'mon! Nobody could make bank on frivolous endorphin delivery in a truly free market?!!...
