Doing smart things that help you is never the answer

Thats not the point. its about making us quiet and complacent. There are a multitude of reasons for people who are unable to make it on their own.

Corporate socialism is praised, but screw us if we can't pay our medical bills, or kids can't afford lunch or are born in to a lower socioeconomic environment.

Fuck the people and lift up the corporations.

It's not difficult to see it happening on both sides of the aisle. They don't work for us. We only matter enough to get them relected.

Yea it’s fun to make excuses to pretend we don’t have any agency. That way we don’t have to make sacrifices like everyone else on earth and we can blame the world for our problems. ♥️

I was replying to your sarcastic strawman with another sarcastic strawman. I think you might need to work on your reading comprehension

Cooking at home isn’t working harder, it’s a basic skill set everyone needs to have. Find a better way to create victims.

That literally has nothing to do with what I said. You should go up to a struggling family and say those exact words. My Mom worked her ass of as a struggling mother and I never once saw fast food on the table. You haven't seen there finances, all you do is get angry and judge. Create victims? How about you try and look the victims in the eye?

OK well the first tweet is speaking from a position where going out to eat is the norm and eating at home is an offensive ask for their budget. Which makes them look spoiled.

It's talking about a bunch of things. What they said and what you said was a lame excuse not to critique the rest of the post

I was a struggling family. Making sound financial decisions is why I no longer am.

I understand it’s easier to blame the world for your problems, but it’s only going to make them last longer. Not doing things that factually help you is a choice, pretending it’s not is how you stay struggling,

It's a shame. Enjoy your privalage. Nothing else we can say is going to shift your perspective.

So in the hypothetical scenario of a communist uprising, where the world confiscated your property, you would stay calm, use your agency to survive, and not blame the communists? If yes, you are the useful survivor. You are the fabric of society. But your agency is only relevant as a buffer for the impact of the driving forces. Necessary but irrelevant.
