I WANT everyone to be taxed to provide basic, ventilated, plumbed, string free shelter for the fellow citizens and human beings we failed the most. Their situation is our national shame and responsibility, same with our largest on earth prison population, and not even per capita. That's on all of us, despite the fact most of us shitbag twist it into being their faults when it isn't a problem in the developed world that cares about what matters like quality education, actual rehabilitation, and mental Healthcare for all.

Not letting them sleep in my bed is not the same thing as someone bitching about human beings dying of exposure and police harassment in our name despite our gold plated shithole's self-bragging prosperity and generosity because herp derp those PEOPLE threaten my PROPERTY VALUES.

That kind of thinking is sociopathic. We aren't Haiti, we have resources. We just choose to use them to further enrich the significant capital hoarders and brainstorm new and exciting ways to murder people at scale thousands of miles away. You know, to throw on the pile and sell to other nations. That's the one thing we're good at, mass murder exports.

We'll never get over our worship of them, because it is engineered.

The media machines they own, including every market news site, fills every stream with deceptive articles of the 8 things billionaires do that made them rich and the 7 the plebs do that stop them from being billionaires, constantly defying them while shaming you for not being like or serving them better.

The natural state for any society where the elites live large while the masses struggle to survive is to DESPISE the elites, whether violent recourse would be suicide or not.

The love/deification for our elites by many of those they oppress is part of their engineered propaganda to keep it that way with their bully pulpit artificially, and that pulpit is more than loud enough to drown out and ruin the credibility of any prominent voices of reason. Easier for them to maintain the market capitalist machine like this than through overt slavery, they just convince the masses it's in their interests to self-enslave.

Our most successful sociopaths, aka market Capitalists, literally own the means of state violence through the governments they bribe and own.

They are the evil empire, oh the irony.

We literally have child marriage in some states.

Please, tell people. We deserve to be shamed and judged for the gold plated shithole we are.

Also, we are extremely weird, backwards, and prudish about healthy adult expressions of sexuality due to our puritcanical roots, so we don't even have any good to go with the bad. We're a garbage place with a garbage culture all the way down.

A frightening liminal space between states of being. Not quite dead, not quite alive!

"I will make it legal"

-Capitalists since before Reagan, but especially and most successfully during and after Reagan.

They've literally made political bribery as legal as ~~apple pie~~ assault rifles, you think some consumer protection laws will stand in the way of their greed?

Imagine taking pride in this fucking gold plated cesspool we call the US.

It boggles the mind.

Sometimes, you just need to wipe the drawing board clean and start over. 🤷👋 🔥

 

Would I hurt other people in some strange hypothetical to literally save my family's life from certain death? Maybe, and I'd be guilt ridden about it for the rest of my life.

Would I hurt people to make more money? Of course not, and that's not a defensible reason to hurt others... at all, and it makes you deeply broken at your core, especially as habit.

Really the only thing I can think of as a more horrifying reason to be cruel to others than "for money herp derp" would be "because its fun!"

Hurting others for profit in the name of business shouldn't be a defense, it should be considered an admission of guilt and come with consequences.
