    I genuinely think shit like this is what promotes antisocial behavior in children. As in clinically antisocial, not just a synonym for introverted.

    Children learn hundreds of new words and new things every week. That’s their entire purpose in life at that age.

    Deliberately lying to them about how basic reality works for extended periods of time is likely what causes the neural short circuits of religion and conservatism.

    You are reverting to the capitalist brainwashing that has been repeated to you for your entire life.

    Nobody is arguing that a grocery stocker requires less skill and training than brain surgery. Literally nobody. And yet you people repeat this idea over and over.

    I mean this not as an attack on you but a chance to expand your worldview. Cognitive dissonance hurts, and it’s important to recognize when it’s happening so you can ask further questions.

    There is no such thing as an “unskilled worker” because all jobs require skill. It’s called human skill, and it’s what enables us to build societies greater than the sum of its citizens.

    The logical conclusion you are suggesting is that because some humans are less capable, they don’t deserve basic needs such as a home, reliable transportation, internet, food, utilities, etc.

    And if your basic premise starts with the notion that society should not be meeting the basic needs of its people, then there’s only one thing that would convince you anyway.





  • Every time I go to (regional fast food chain) or Taco Bell or something, the line is about 1/5 poors and the other 4 are almost always a $70,000 truck or one of those ridiculous circular BMW/Benz SUVs or a decidedly non-base model Tesla.

    The US has reached the point where the “haha look at the poors” food is consumed by the rich and the poors are, well…

    It’s honestly hilarious how Americans refuse to wake up to class consciousness, desperately shouting about how all the other countries have it so much worse.

    Even the village idiot in Iraq knows the TV media is all propaganda. Meanwhile, US corporations spending millions on campaigns against state bills is completely normal and people actually trust the signs they put up.

    Lol. Lmao. This ships going down and taking the whole world with it.
