I like how you're bumping the topic like everyone still posting here hasn't contributed lol.
I get the sense that DOOCH was probably born into dire poverty lol. No disrespect, my family had ups and downs too and it helped me get perspective.
What I can say is that the people who give a fuck about 'wealth disparity' are all middle class or rich but less comfortable than their parents in their adulthood.
Actual poor people have a deep love for the system as is, and are consistently bootlicking wanna-be 'capitalists' that want their spot. Someone in existence being bastardly rich tells them they can be bastardly rich, or their kids etc and makes for good escapist entertainment.
A lot of leftist politics likes to speak for people. Like with Union. Idk what unions you guys have where you're from, but union ppl where I'm from and where I currently live would probably called pro-union left leaning millenials 'queers'. Poor ppl make up the bulk of ppl that support and prop up the current system, and to them the crookness is one of the cool features. Find a poor male that doesn't have a movie about someone being a criminal or abusing authority in their top 10.
So it's not going to change. The people someone would ordinarily want it to change for love it, even if they're taking generational Ls. The people that want to change it benefit most from it and will stop pushing once they realize how much of their personal comfort and 'success' is dependent on how the chips stacked in their favor

No. Never been “in poverty” like that. There is just way too much family and friends looking out for eachother that, unless I chose to be a complete useless degenerate, I’ll be able to make a living. Work ethic was instilled as a 14-15 year old. I had good parents and good family, we were all lucky like that. But that’s something you build and pass on.
Like that discussion we had earlier. It’s a safety net. No if I came from a single mother and she came from a single mother and I had nobody there for me, no grandfathers, no uncles, no friends of my fathers, you’re extremely vulnerable.
That’s cultural impoverishment and it’s a growing problem. In that regard I was a rich man.
No I never said that. All I basically said in this thread was “what the fuck can you really do?”
I guess you can join some fringe group and dedicate yourself to fighting it. I’m not willing to do that.
I’ve lived a good life. I don’t know, yea there are things that are fucked up but they are beyond me and won’t go much farther than wutang Corp postings. I don’t want to be one of those miserable people who is cynical about everything. It’s a dead end.
