Exploited workers in false class solidarity with the billionaire class, seem to always want to use hypotheticals and theories to justify the poor living conditions of a vast majority of working age human beings.

Just the concept of, “earn a living” is a skewed paradigm of existence in a world with more than enough to go around for all humans to live comfortably.

Being able to live comfortable was the American Dream was it not? Wasn’t that the entire concept of the economic middle class?

It’s human nature for people to always want more and for others to always want to do less. Sure, but we default to an economic system of exploitation? Exploitation of ignorance. Exploitation of resources. Exploitation of labor. Exploitation of emotions.

But it’s the greatest economic system in history in the greatest country in history says the people currently reaping it’s benefits. And their bootlickers who confuse having a comma in their bank account and lots of shiny new adult toys to show off online. Just don’t dare ask them about their debt(s).

The narrative and perception on climate change mirrors that of capitalist economies in so many ways.

Trying to manufacture consent to view the issue in a way that it can be achieved at the micro level, when in fact the only success at mass scale is at the macro level.

We love to embrace scientific change if it gives our favorite influencer or podcast host something to sell and/or talk about. We love science when it finds ways to improve products and services.

But putting science to use for the masses beyond medicine has been a no go for generations.

There is more than enough money, land, and resources to change the way life is lived on planet Earth so that the way we live is more sustainable and has less negative impact on the world we live in.

But we don’t do these factual, documented, measurable things because it would negatively disrupt the capitalist system and it’s beneficiaries.

No different then kings sending the serfs to war over personal disputes with other royal families. Just on a larger scale. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Homeownership, a foundation of the economic middle class, a trademark of the American Dream.

So many capitalist bootlickers, who confuse having a comma in their bank account with their class status, love to point to the stock market as a sign of how well the American economy is doing.

We humans love to feel smart and in control.

The modern American economy, this side of The Great Recession is drastically more complex and out of control of the average consumer and worker regardless of if they’re in false class solidarity with the 1%.

Record homelessness means the system is a failed, broken disgrace.

Tent cities becoming an established norm across the country means the American Dream has become a living nightmare.

But it is hard to care about others when we are so busy just trying to keep our heads above water. Trying to make enough to keep ourselves warm, fed, and dry leaves little time or energy to help those who have already fallen through the cracks.

It would just be nice if we stopped lying to ourselves about it. But that would mean a drastic, immediate change in human nature. I’m guess BlackRock will get out of the real estate business before that happens.

That’s the American Way

It certainly is the holiday season in a nutshell for capitalists and their bootlickers.

Don’t dare ask why you have to buy someone something to show you love/care for them. Don’t even ask if there is something they actually need or can tangibly use in their day to day life.

Just buy them something, or you’re a piece of garbage. The more you spend, the better person you are. Whether it’s a lot of little things, a few medium things, or a really big thing. The more you spend, the more you are allowed to feel good about yourself.

Until the next day when you wake up. Until the next week when the holiday is over. Until the next month when the bill(s) come. Until next year…

62% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, but do we dare buy groceries or pay someone else’s bills for the holiday? No, because that would be charity and if they want charity then they can pick themselves up by the boot straps and get a job. Oh they have a job? Well get a second job. Oh they have a second job? Uh…well…stop buying avocado toast and fancy coffee.

What about the people too mentally and emotionally damaged to work at all or enough to survive let alone thrive enough to buy unnecessary consumer goods for the people they care about?

Best not to think about it or ask questions… that’s the American Way.
