Poverty is a fact of life. It is precisely this imbalance that fuels economic and spiritual growth. There is no sound reason to “solve” the “problem” of poverty.

It's literally the point of civilization

Yes, I just stated it, to facilitate living for as much people as possible

Who decided this?
Define "living"
Define "point"

civilization was formed when big rich chief tricks all the lower men into building shit for him. one of the hallmarks of every proto-civiliation is the existence and formation of elites and selfs. haves and have nots, slaves and masters.

hunter gatherer societies are far more egalitarian but they are civilizations. civs are the opposite of equality and they only exist because of poverty.

civilization is a beta cooperation tech, Chads can make fags like you work for them just via violence as the mountain niggers used to do (those used to be nomadic *wink, wink*), hunter gatherer societies are small for a reason and that reason is they are poor as fuck and rely too much on each other

Inequality is a fact of life, but poverty is a solvable problem tied to resource scarcity. Some people will always have more wealth than others, reflecting the inherent biological inequalities between men, but it's entirely possible to increase industrial output to the point that even people at the bottom of the socioeconomic hierarchy enjoy a state of material abundance sufficient to meet all their needs without effort.

Betas dont create civilization as the guys who were the noblity of every nation in history were manipulative sociopaths not nerds who cared about how women feel

There are more empty homes than there are homeless.

The amounts of food being thrown on a regular basis could feed the world for decades.

Poverty is literally most fixable thing in the world.

>>16882835
Really it's to facilitate living for a specific group. It could be as small as a monarch and his lineage, or larger as a republic. Extra wealth is a byproduct, a necessary expense to preserve the power of the few.

The problem of poverty is crappy living conditions. Do you think people starving in Africa fuels economic, and spiritual growth? Lol
>>
Yes there is. You can fuel competition still, plenty of people are willing to work for someone, depend on or obey someone. Curing poverty doesn't mean everyone gets to go to space and have a ship or even an actual house.

Poverty is a fact of agricultural societies, but hunter gatherer societies don't have poverty or wealth, everyone has basically equal property, since their society can't maintain surplus.
>>
>>16882711
Change is a fact of life. Poverty is a problem. Trying to 'solve' any problems, moves society towards improving. Sure we'll never be equal, but inequality becomes an issue when the wealthy don't do anything useful with their wealth and those who could better the society, don't have the resources.

>poverty fuels economic and spiritual growth

No it doesnt. But it does fuel criminality, paranoia, revolutionary- and violent political movements, societal instability leading to anarchy, etc.

What does fuel economic and spiritual growth is the human psychological need for social validation and status.

Now check where are these empty homes and if the local sewage system plants believe the population on the census matches the real one.

The latter one is one of my favourite aspects of the modern world. For instance, I go to Wikipedia and check how many people live in the UK and its about 67 million but I remember reading articles about people managing the sewage treatment claiming it's 90 to 100. The 67 million number came from physically coming up to someone's doors and leaving them census forms. The 90-100 million one came from seeing the growth of the amount of sewage being spilled and having controlled studies on how much of it does a single person actually generate, since you can just not send a form but can't stop sewage from getting into the system(normally) guess who's number is more accurate.

If poverty is a fact of life then we must elevate poverty so that it’s something above chronic homelessness and debt slavery.

If everyone embraced vagrancy - there'd be no poverty.

Define "poverty"
If you mean
>some people struggle to pay for shelter or food
Then yes, this will always exist because all human societies are run by humans and humans are not perfectly efficient.
On a more basic level, there will always be people who cannot acquire skills nor manage money, and they will never be as valuable economically as those who can.
You can't fix poverty by giving everyone equal money. Many people will just piss it away.
