I had to read the second post twice to understand what it’s saying due to the non-standard grammar. But I’m a foreign speaker.

I’m asking an honest question out of curiosity: Was this easily legible to you?

"Ain't" can be kind of difficult. It can mean "are not," "am not," "is not," "has not," or "have not." Aside from that, the statements should be separated with a period, and "it's" was used instead of "is it." Also, they use "the fuck" instead of "what the fuck."

"Ain't" is pretty common in casual speech now, and the rest is relatively common in internet speech, so it was pretty easy to read for me.

"Capitalism hasn't solve white people's poverty. What the fuck is it going to do for us?"
