shocks me when I read comments acting like poverty isn’t something that happens in the US
Capitalism is so effective at atomizing us that it's very possible to genuinely believe poverty is extremely rare in the US if the bubble you live in is also financially secure. And a lot of Americans live in these little bubbles where most of the people are reasonably secure. It's a huge obstacle for raising class consciousness.
