It's so crazy how much ideological astroturfing reddit has and people fall for it. Also lol @ working several jobs for $2400 a month = lower middle class.

    I don't intend this to be a serious critique of a failing capitalist system. It's really more of a critique about reddit and how much it favors certain lines of propaganda. This person may be 100% honest, but it's still propaganda. However I think it's more likely they're going to build cred as a provertyfinance guru and then gain passive income by selling their story and infomercials. That kind of thing will be very tantalizing right now given the unemployment and developing recession/depression. So yeah, regardless if the specific story is true or not, the fact that this kind of thing exists at all is enough of a critique without getting into the details.

    Laughing at dumb reddit posts isn't challenging capital. It's not going to change minds. But this is a comm for making fun of this kind of stuff.
