When I was a kid, people would get jobs, then stay in those jobs for years and years, getting promotions and raises. Then they'd buy things like new cars, houses, and vacations, just with the money they earned by working their jobs. So I thought that that is how life would work for me. Boy was I wrong!

That’s what the (white) boomers got, and what they told us we would get, but instead we got Allentowned by decades of globalization & financialization, A.K.A. neoliberalism.

Yet the political outcome is quite the same: desperate white people voting f@scist parties!

You couldn't pay me to go back to the 1920s when my family lived in a ghetto in Qajari Iran lol

Downvote him all you want, but if we're not talking about white Americans or, for that matter, Europeans, whom are we talking about?

Also, guilty as charged.
