It does suck. Watching all my highschool friends slowly lose the light in their eyes as the economy tightened its grip, becoming all more desperate just for basic necessities. The only way any of us can fix this is by making sure no one is run ragged by the fear of this fake ass scarcity.
By getting rid of capitalism, right? Right?
May we cast off these chains as comrades :)
Yes! :)
Hear me out, what if we use capitalism to fight capitalism. I'm sure it'll work this time guys.
Most certainly! :)
At least you have empathy. My family deride me for struggling with affording housing my whole adult life. At least I dont have to see them more then a couple times a year. Love those douchebags.
It's not you, I can tell you that. I won't lie I feel that empathy because I was simply exposed to the horrors of capitalism before they were, my father losing his job, my family losing their house and having to work in a factory as a child. I can't blame them for the conditions we're all in.
