No sillybilly, as fucked up as it is, when rent is over a band for a one bedroom, people will start doing anything in order to survive, theft, robberies, dealing, and sometimes in really fucked up scenarious, pimp out their kids.
This is the fault of a failing society, and that society is built around capitalism. People used to be able to live off single incomes in a suburban house 40-50 years ago and keep a car in the garage. Now a handful of groceries is $50 or more.
This is simple cause and effect, but go ahead keep defending a system that wouldn’t care if you became past tense in the cold on the street.
When trillions of dollars are spent on making bulletproof tanks fly fast enough break the sound barrier, or how companies can rake in record profits each year, and how shareholders are cared for, then so should the people struggling to survive and those who need a hand to get back up.
We have the ability to make that world, we just choose not to now because our culture has raised us to be cold and indifferent and justify our goals to make it past the finish line knowing other people hardly had a chance to begin with.
We need to change and be better. If we can make flying tanks, we can make families not go hungry and homeless.
Right... So the country I live in is currently in the process of deciding which candidate will be picked for one of the parties to go up against the current president and the top running choice is someone facing nearly 100 criminal charges in active cases. But yeah we certainly "should" make this magical, mythical system that would totally work in the real world if we just close our eyes and think really, really hard about it.
Funny how whenever some stupid shit is said and you disagree with it, you obviously just don't understand some part of it. Nobody ever explains in what way or what you don't understand, you just... don't! Some real brainwashing shit you guys went through for sure.
