We have so many houses going unused. We have food and resources for everybody, but we’ve set up a system that arbitrarily concentrates most of it on a few people! Young children, with no understanding why society is this way, are suffering and dying because they live in a world that collectively agrees to let this happen unnecessarily
Fuck, I’m stoned but you know I’m right
Edit: and the sad thought hits me: the first step is realizing the system doesn’t have to be this way, the second step is realizing it isn’t going to change, at least not any time soon

The original comment was not advocating for capitalism and the old ways, it was just saying that making us poor is essential to keep capitalism running.
Yeah, I know they weren’t. Regardless, I apologize for my bluntness. Everything they said is true if we don’t change and evolve.
