Lol! Yes, you got it. When people say "land of the free" I'm like, ok, but can you smoke weed on the street? Can you fuck out in the open? Can you plop your ass down where you damn please? Can you live your life without worrying about your next ticket over some bullshit?

And not to give anybody wild ideas about how we live, because we usually don't do this stuff. But you could and that makes all the difference.

Only if you're not white or unproductive... otherwise you can live until you can't.

It turns out that their Great Replacement conspiracy theory was projection - they insisted that there was some sort of conspiracy to eliminate whites because they were working on their own conspiracy to eliminate minorities.

It's simple really - eliminate DEI and, more to the point, put a chill on hiring minorities generally, then cut Medicaid (and if possible, institute work requirements for the little bit that's left) so that people without jobs have no healthcare and monorities are more likely to be without jobs. Then just sit back and smile as millions of people, with minorities overrepresented, die.

That's exactly what they're very deliberstely doing, right now.

No? Listen to anything the ruling class is saying so you can effectively argue against it.

The ruling class thinks poor people work less hours for better food, shelter, and amenities than any time in human history except for maybe compared to a decade ago for some cases(in America ofc). They think that poor people should be grateful for this and spend their time praising capitalism while enjoying the extra free hours they get using their cell phones and fridges while they engage with their local community. Most of the rich genuinely think this.

None of this is strictly wrong, but it blatantly ignores the fact that even based on their own interpretation of capitalism and the economy the amount of excess wealth we produce should have exalted the poor classes to magnitudes better life than they currently enjoy (even setting aside much more egalitarian views of how the economy should work). Instead, as a consequence of their greed and corruption we have generations of people recognizing that asking us to be grateful that most of our productivity gets siphoned away by the laziest of society is twisted and cruel.

It doesnt come off to me like that. To me it comes off as the person posting the meme telling poor people that there is nothing for them in society and that is offensive. I know the person is not Rich because rich people dont think about what poor people do outside of work, they just dont care or they're so out of touch they think poor people are doing fine and just wasting the excess money.

The people who have the expectation of poor life in the meme are middle class people. But they're wrong, there is plenty of life to live if you're poor. I grew up poor and I bet my family was far happier than most middle class families. When you're poor you dont just work extra hours for no reason, its always done for something. That may be to fix a broken car or to pay rent on a place you can barely afford so your kids can have a better life or it may be just to get something nice for a loved one. When I ask my Dad why he did backbreaking work for 12-16 hours a day he will say it was worth it to give my sister and I a better life.

If the person making this tweet was right then poor people should leave the US. But I dont think they should as a decent life can still be had here even if you are in the bottom 50% of income.

I was just thinking something more pleasant if not meaningful to use the little time you have. Unless just sitting there is what one wants to do.

First three won't necessary cost anything or can cost very little. But I wouldn't really know, I'm not American
