Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Material conditions effect the way people act in relation to society‽
That can't be it.
my first hand experiences of having the wealth divide manifested literally in front my face and being surrounded by it on an almost daily bases while i leverage my visible minority identities like a cloak to shield my relative privilege so that i can invisibly maneuver around the hungry & unhoused mass of people proves that this is true.
also: the fact that i keep repeating this experience in the most liberal of cities in this country over the decades and that this phenomena was predicted in theory (as well the fact that it was written generations ago, but still completely relevant to today) proves to me that what you've shared is undeniably true and it boggles my mind that this is not more commonly known.
when i see .worlder's hellbent on repeating history, it's become difficult not to just give up and lol at leopards-ate-their-face-ees; but if we don't start helping each out more, trump's leopards are going to be eating ALL of our faces.
