    I've done some relief work and organizing for Migrant farm workers. They didn't have potable water, they had to get bottles shipped in for drinking, and even that was winding down when I left that area. The water out of their pipes gave the children chemical rashes and stained their clothes when they washed, their trailers were full of mold that the housing authority would only paint over never fix, and they obviously had no medical benefits. Average life expectancy was 53? I think?

    Libs are so far removed from commodity production or actual productive work that they literally have no fucking clue how the world works.

      So you saw the underside of capitalism with your own eyes but people still think you're the one that's crazy?

        "It'S hUMaN NAtuRe"

        People will seriously utter whatever garbage comes to mind in order to avoid questioning/changing the world for the better. I have developed a visceral hatred for thought terminating cliches.

            "B-b-b-but hierarchy! Someone's gotta be in charge! There will always be people who are better off and worse off. That's why some people have to drop out of school in 7th grade and work for the rest of their lives in 90 degrees plus heat picking fruit and living in deprivation until they die a premature death :) It's the natural order!"

            People who argue that line inevitably fall back on essentially "capitalism is eternal and just a natural partof human civilization"... they have to, there's no other way to defend that position without being completely ahistorical
