Again, you’re outing yourself. Not only do you obviously not have a US corporation or cop pointing a gun at you, but you can’t even perceive the people around you who do.
You ever had to ration insulin? Ever been subjected to police brutality? Ever been driven to homelessness because corporate landlords bought all the housing inventory?
Read a little history. Things were way worse in the great Depression, and people organized and voted in the right leadership without resorting to ‘burning it down.’
I never said that things were perfect, or even good. I said that you personally are privileged. The fact that you have time to get into this argument proves that you’re not being in the least oppressed personally.
Like I said, you’re pushing for people to lose what little they have so you can sit back in Mommy’s basement and get all tingly watchign the action.
I’ve read a lot of history. More than you it seems. If you read more, you’d know working class people are actually worse off today than they were in the Great Depression. Inequality, hunger, homelessness, and economic suffering are measurably worse now.
You’d also know FDR specifically pushed for capitalist reform because the people were on the cusp of revolution, and he wanted to avoid a communist uprising.
Your refusal to acknowledge suffering people exist around you does not make them disappear. But I guess you believe empathy is a neckbeard thing?
What the fuck are these statistics you’re trying to guide the conversation with?
We’re able to guage things like the “average” income of Americans during the Great Depression by looking at taxes. This means you had to actually make enough to file taxes. The average income of that time is based entirely off of that data, which I think only 2% of the population was filing taxes at the time compared to today’s 70%. The average American was not making today’s equivalent of 30k more during the Great Depression.
“Hunger rates” - the average American couldn’t buy fucking bread during the Great Depression.
“Homeless rates” 2 million people were homeless compared to the, fuck it I’ll throw in an extra hundred thousand, 700,000 homeless people today.
“Wealth inequality” Of course wealth inequality is worse today than in the Great Depression, the fucking stock market crashed in 1929.
I can’t believe I had to spend precious fucking neurons on this, stop.
Edit: “I’ve read plenty of history!” Doesn’t know what fucking Hoovervilles were.
Look at Ukraine or Gaza if you want to see suffering.
Like I said, ‘privilege.’

lol!
You are freely using a computer. You obviously have access to electricity, and probably haven’t missed a meal in your life.
Where’s this gun pointed at your head?
Dude you really can’t stop embarrassing yourself.
You ever had to ration insulin? Ever been subjected to police brutality? Ever been driven to homelessness because corporate landlords bought all the housing inventory?
Talk about embarrassing.

“If you look at tax return stats from the 1930’s you can prove that we’re in a worse off state than the great depression”
TikTok mind rot needs to stay the fuck on TikTok. Who the fuck is upvoting this trash?
K. Which stats would you like? Homeless rates? Hunger rates? Wealth inequality figures? All worse now than during the Great Depression.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh today and your silly antics made me smile.
Yes, it’s become clear you think the suffering of others is laughable. You’ve been extremely upfront about your attitude towards people like that.
We both know that you aren’t suffering. I’m laughing at you in particular.
The fact you can’t figure that out is what makes it even funnier.
