also to your pivot to me talking about how luxurious low class americans lives are, if you don't know at least a dozen people who live entirely off of government assistance, you are either lying, or out of touch with the dregs of society that actually get government assistance. granted they sell half their food stamps to buy drugs and pay other bills etc. but lets quit pretending they are living in a mud hut eating ground up grain from a wooden bowl
you wanted me to take my viewpoint global earlier in the thread, but you fail to see how luxurious every american lives from a global viewpoint. a legit homeless person on the streets of skidrow is living much better than a sizable percentage of the world.

not gonna sit here and give you countless anecdotes about people that are failing to survive in america or how it happens, from your disconnected outside perspective you will surely have an endless amount of ways for each person to overcome it, taking no actual real life physical or psychological effects into account. what you consider content and luxurious i consider a failure designed by the system because i take into account the amount of resources the country has and its unwillingness to give everyone a fair shake at them. your mindset is that you think because a man on skidrow has it better than a toddler in the middle of a warzone that anything here can be overcome.
u think america is this magical place where ebt receivers are out here killin it cuz they can trade stamps big brother gave them for drugs that big brother dropped off in your neighborhood to put u in jail for doing? i literally do not know anyone that does this, but i wont pretend it doesnt exist, and i do not consider anything youre describing in that paragraph to be lavish, or anything more than survival tactics. to you that means things aren't so bad.
none of this is relevant to the fact that the people that we allow to run our society are psychopaths that we've needed to overthrow for a long time, and chalking it up to 'well itll inevitably happen when things get bad enough, see he's buying drugs with free food stamps, things arent that bad yet' is a good way to ensure this group actually gets away with it forever. at a time when all new wealth is going to the top, how the fuck do you think we're gonna overthrow an elite class after another 50 years of a shrinking middle class when they all have spaceships and we still allowing our people to get thrown in jail for being the wrong color or for growing ginseng in the backyard? u can literally already buy teenage blood for a smooth 10k or something thats not even a secret. these dudes out here really tryna transcend dimensions and you think some dirt ppl gonna rise up with plastic forks and restore the natural order of history with mindsets like yours? revolutions take a lot of people working really hard for a really long time. no more no less
