    Dude you really can’t stop embarrassing yourself.

    You ever had to ration insulin? Ever been subjected to police brutality? Ever been driven to homelessness because corporate landlords bought all the housing inventory?

      Talk about embarrassing.

      Read a little history. Things were way worse in the great Depression, and people organized and voted in the right leadership without resorting to ‘burning it down.’

      I never said that things were perfect, or even good. I said that you personally are privileged. The fact that you have time to get into this argument proves that you’re not being in the least oppressed personally.

      Like I said, you’re pushing for people to lose what little they have so you can sit back in Mommy’s basement and get all tingly watchign the action.

        I’ve read a lot of history. More than you it seems. If you read more, you’d know working class people are actually worse off today than they were in the Great Depression. Inequality, hunger, homelessness, and economic suffering are measurably worse now.

        You’d also know FDR specifically pushed for capitalist reform because the people were on the cusp of revolution, and he wanted to avoid a communist uprising.

        Your refusal to acknowledge suffering people exist around you does not make them disappear. But I guess you believe empathy is a neckbeard thing?

            Yes, it’s become clear you think the suffering of others is laughable. You’ve been extremely upfront about your attitude towards people like that.

              We both know that you aren’t suffering. I’m laughing at you in particular.

              The fact you can’t figure that out is what makes it even funnier.

                I never said I was. I care about people who are. You seem unaware those people even exist.

                I understand that empathy and advocating for others is difficult for you to comprehend. You’ve not been subtle about it.

                  And your idea of helping people who can’t get insulin is to burn down the system so no insulin gets delivered?

                  That’s such a helpful idea. [/s]

                    Sounds like you’ve bought into the capitalist propaganda that all of society will collapse without greedy middlemen to control it all. You lack both intelligence and imagination.

                  You’re pretty funny yourself. "The Grapes of Wrath’ was all about how much the New Deal helped people. Now you’re on the side of a guy who is trashing FDR.

                    Well what he said about FDRs new deal push is true, communism was much more prevalent in the US before mcarthysism, he was well aware of that, you can find your choice of source.

                    And the grapes of wrath was, um, NOT about the new deal. It follows a farm family as they are destroyed by the dust bowl and predatory banks, and the struggle against police backed rich landowners in California

                    You should read it. It’s good
