A neurodivergent person posted in my local community group that they desperately needed food, and even posted a picture of an empty fridge with nothing but a tub of butter and some baking soda in it. There were plenty of people posting links to outreaches that could help, but there were also a few 50-65 year old white dudes saying, "Everywhere is hiring! How about you fill out some job applications instead of asking for handouts?"
I called one of the dudes out and told him that even if they got hired tomorrow, that won't put food in their fridge today. He said, "if they had been working, their fridge wouldn't be empty," and proceeded to call me a clueless millennial.
What the fuck do we do with these people? I hate sharing a world with fucks like these that don't carry a shred of empathy.
capitalism reproduces the conditions under which people become like this. Sorry to say, this type of person won't age out of society.
They'll become an ever shrinking minority though especially as ethnic demographics shift (something the full blown racist midwest NIMBYS piss themselves over)
hard disagree. whiteness can be expanding to include more people. Petite bourgeois ideology doesn't really care about race.
Truth I've met plenty gusanos and other peeps that claim their folks fled Vietnam/Cuba/wherever else a coup was attempted/done cuss "my grandparents helped out the army" or some other lowkey horrid shit
