This just makes me sad, 100 years ago, they’d all be communists, but their brains have been fried by lead (Reagan), the pathology of the American Constitution held as a religion, and the most reactionary media in history.
those commenters are certainly mostly dipshits who blame the government instead of capitalism(which owns the government)
also nobody loves to tell their shitty sad life stories more than white people. when i get in an uber i pray to jeebus they arent an old white man who wants to ask me questions. shut the fuck up and drive.
The american left are too busy being class reductionist, patsoc, and whitewashing pieces of crap to be of any use.

WHY THE FUCK NOT?! What’s wrong with you?
Because it’s a sin.
That’s literally it. They equate it with sin. The sin of sloth. Not that they think in those terms (filthy Protestant heretics, the lot of them) but it’s taboo because they think of it as stealing, because they don’t see the whole picture, because it’s been deliberately obscured from them their entire lives. If they were to understand just how much was being stolen from them every time they go to work, they’d know who to direct their anger at.
it actually makes me kind of sad

Individualism has made people think that it’s part of human nature to not help eachother but rather only yourself. It’s depressing how cynical my society has become.
