The most radicalizing thing you could do to someone would be to force them to live like they're poor in the US for a few months
If they don't come out a frothing leftist, they're hopeless
so many people think of "poor" as just "unable to afford luxuries" when it's more like "I have a job but dont have the ability to pay bills and eat regularly this month, and this isnt unusual or likely to change"
for me it's having a job that used to be considered "middle class" that I work full time and net like -$100 every month even after strict budgeting. Living perpetually on the edge of homelessness despite doing everything I was told to do growing up.
What do you do?
Sounds like any job I can think of, tbh. Teacher, nurse, lawyer, firefighter, middle management.
