    Ask away, my man. Look at the rest of the thread because some of us are having some deep dives into the topic.

    In regards to the 12 year old boy, the people were complaining about hunger. Jesus gave a sermon saying we should share food.

    The 12 year old offered 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, which was his paycheck, to a disciple. The disciple asked Jesus, “Wtf am I supposed to do with this?”

    “Disperse it.”

    5000 men, meaning 5000 families as children and women were being counted, ran to their pantries, inspired by the boy, to grab what they could find. Shit that was just sitting on the shelves that they didn’t have the rest of the ingredients to actually use it.

    It is a story of an impromptu potluck. The magic was only the words of Jesus and the generosity of that 12 year old boy.

    And everyone was fucking fed. That’s properly administrated socialism. Love your neighbor. Government doesn’t even need to be involved.
