You want to follow your not-money-generating dreams? Become a philosopher? Travel the world? Just enjoying your life? Well, you better be rich or you can forget about it.
The rich didn't just steal everything they can from us, they made sure that we suffer if we don't work for them.
Yes. Work or die. It’s violence.
Just think about it: the rich made the one way people had to generate generational wealth too expensive to acquire - the family home.
I was lucky enough to get the money for a house, but I don't see the next generation being able to afford that.
Work your whole life, suffer in poverty when you get to old to work, leave nothing but dept to the next generation.
That will be the new norm now.
I grew up under subsistence minimum. We grew our own food, and even then we often didn't have enough. Honestly, without free school lunches things would've likely looked way different. Growing up keenly aware of that sort of financial distress is fucking terrible, and I don't wish it on anyone.
I'm alright now, decently well paid, and I do, but it's still obvious how the money grubbing elite is trying to chip away at the rest of us bit by bit and it makes me so furious. There's no way in hell I'll ever own a home myself.
Family? Not in a million years. No child deserves to live in the world we've built. It's unethical.
