The bourgeoisie loves this one neat trick: just let a few of the poors own a little something, and they'll fight off the rest of the poors without even needing to be told.
Seriously though, anyone want to sell out a generation for a bit of land and monies? I mean, you'll never be able to pay for unnecessary things with just values and integrity
I will go to my grave that society writ large is broken. It's not just the rich. Everyone has become a selfish turd out to get a buck on the backs of everyone else. The difference is that some of us are self-aware enough to see it in ourselves.
It's depressing if you don't step back and laugh at it all.
I was literally just thinking about this on my way home yesterday. Society is completely broken, there is no us only ME. this is especially terrible in the United States where we fetishize "rugged individualism." You don't care for anyone but yourself. Look out for #1...
So when the choice is "money for me" or "consider my impact on my surroundings" the result is "lmfao consider others? It would be stupid for me to not make this money at the expense of others."
Every shitty self serving decision made for ones own profit is the "smart thing" to do, even if it was literally destroying the entire town around you. I hate it.
This is just whataboutism thou. Are you a landlord?
Yes and I charge well under market value (like $500 under what I could get) and my tenant does not have to live on the street. Would you rather I kick her out or let her live in my house for free?
You are trying to pass the idea that society is already broken so everybody should just do what the fuck they want. Your are part of the side of society that is actually broken, so all your tirade sounds pretty hypocritical.
What are you talking about Willis? I said no such thing.
I live a simple life and surround myself with those who live a simple life.
As for hypocrisy, we are all hypocrites. If you don't think you are you're a liar which is worse IMHO.
Nah, you just want people's money and you are trying to feel morally ok about it, but deep inside you know it's not ok and never will
Ok?
