Seriously. This country couldn’t do a better job promoting socialism if it tried. Capitalism to a majority of people under 50 means instability and hardship.
We're cooked, I'm hooked

And exhaustion and depression

The ones born after the Great Depression lived through an abnormal period of capitalism. One that featured a lot of socialist policies. As far as I’ve read, most people were well aware that capitalism was dog shit for the working class before that and a lot believed socialism was the solution.

Yes. Capitalism was in an ideological battle with communism so the government put it thumb on the scale with socialism but gave credit to capitalism for the outcome. Then billionaires spent 75 years indoctrinating, corrupting, and distorting history to claw back their power.

Life for the working class has gotten progressively worse every year for my entire life.

Not all, pandemic years were fucking glorious in tech. Then the rich decided to punish us for being both more productive and happy. Because we can demand more pay when we aren’t scared.

I still miss that magical 6 month period when my stress was 1/3rd of the rest of my life.

Yeah in Canada it was used by conservatives to launch an anti vaxxing protest in an attempt to install an unelected fascist government in Ottawa so that was cool

That’s what I need to do. I just gave up recently. I was so happy to be sitting here as a stay at home dad and making money.
I’m glad I mostly cashed out when dipshit Don was elected because I knew he was going to tank us.

What’s up with all these 2010 memes with democrat talking points showing up recently? Was there like a thinktank that came up with the idea to reach more fellow kids?

Get ready to seize that opportunity! Huge equity deals in the next 6-12 months. My pants are getting tighter just thinking about it…

Guess I better get money magically to do that when the opportunity is ready?
