Here's a metaphor - if you are lost in the woods you must work to gather things to sustain your life, you need to make a living for yourself.  If you do not produce enough to survive, you have not produced a living and you die. 

Just because someone shows up for 8 hours does necessarily mean he has done enough work to equal "a living"  if someone produces less than "a living"  they do not deserve to be paid "a living"  they in fact do not even deserve to live.  In the wild there is no government to save you.  You would have been naturally selected as a weak member of the species.

You should try to avoid making absurd biological arguments to support your political views, especially if you're not well versed in evolutionary biology. First of all, humans have not evolved to live on our own, in fact many of our closest ancestors didn't live alone either. We've been living in communities since the dawn of our species. Much like an individual ant or bee (in the vast majority of species) could not survive on its own but thrives in a group, humans thrive when in a group.

Furthermore, you make the "do not deserve to live" argument, implying that somehow there is no selective pressure; that somehow evolution has stopped for these individuals, otherwise they would be dead. Selective pressures change and can be difficult to pinpoint, but it's a law of nature that humans are not exempt from. You picture selective pressures as being able to collect your food and avoid predators, but modern selective pressures come from things like disease on an individual level, and the ability to adapt to global changes on a societal level. I assure you, any individual traits that are not advantageous, are being removed from the population in an evolutionary sense, I just think you disagree with nature on what those traits are.

Finally, it's worth pointing out, that even if humans evolved to live alone (which the data do not support) and if evolution selected for the traits you think it would select for, natural selection does not work simply by killing off weaker individuals. You are forgetting about sexual selection; the weakest don't necessarily die, but they do not get to mate as often. The "do not deserve to live" argument, as wrong as it is, is better phrased as a "do not deserve to reproduce" argument.

Cultural diversity's a scam. A fabricated phenomenon, used by the political elite to halt any objection toward there will.

Huh? This is just about the dumbest thing I've read in days. Cultural diversity is real, bruh!

Cultural diversity or "multiculturalism" is a forced phenomenon that has happened with out vote for, or against it. Multiculturalism is a fabricated term, used by the political establishment to try to justify and at the same time, halt objection to there failed concept, of importing millions of foreigners into the West.

Honestly, as the world gets smaller, people are going to have to get accustomed to multiculturalism. We can't press on indefinitely into the future without integrating and learning to get along.

maybe you could try harder to integrate some of the new culture into your life? the best way to change something is do it yourself. The onus isn't necessarily on the refugees to westernize immediately and make your life easier. Your local culture is changing, get out there and change with it. And remember any complaints about it not being safe, easy or fun are a two way street for both you and the refugees.

and that's why you think multiculturalism is a fail, when in reality you're just socially lazy or inept or both

Yup.

Personally I endorse a Total Asset Cap, at about 5 million dollars.

I like this idea of yours very much.  Can you go into greater details and tell us how it would work?
