So many poor people really bought the “you, too, could be a billionaire” shit hook line and sinker because the problem wasn’t oppression, just that they themselves weren’t the oppressors
(and yes, being wealthy in a world where other people are starving is meaningful complicity in oppression. There is no such thing as a non-violent billionaire.)

It’s the American “dream”, you’re just a temporarily low funded billionaire
The greatest trick capitalism ever played was convincing the general public that they are all just rich people waiting for their big break.
The worst thing is probably that it co-opts everything. Event movements for resistance or revolution.
Capitalism was built to unite the poor to fight the rich but poor people have let them selves be manipulated against each other.
Who is giving their lives for capitalism?
People dont want to admit everything they were told is a lie, most people can’t accept it. Why we are where we are
I was willing to defend children with my life prior to having children.
“How you gon hate from outside the club? You can’t even get in…”
