That's not capitalism, lol. Modern life has left the majority of people without any real survival skills.
I can honestly say that being poor forced me to learn how to survive under adverse circumstances. Rich people lack even that. They're completely useless to themselves and to society.
What a snide fucking remark brimful of ignorance. I never even mentioned capitalism, yet here you are to defend it. Bootlicker or capitalist?
Edit: Dude bought a car for 35k. Rich person detected, opinion discarded.
You think buying a car for 35k makes me rich? You do realize that even middle class people are just as much a few missed paychecks away from being homeless just as much as you are?
Actual rich people make so much money they've never worked a day in their life, and they most definitely want us distracted fighting eachother instead of thinking about how they assfuck us ever day with this fucked up system.
Edit: Just to drive my point home. I grew up poor as dirt with a single mother, and eventually a drunk violent asshat step father. The only reason I have any money at all is bcz I went to university and have a decent job now.
Scales of relevance here, further societal complexity opens new doors to different forms of poverty, hidden by structural differences
