In reply to the discussion: can I just say.......WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FAWK!!!!!! [View all]BlueTsunami2018
(4,447 posts)There’s a saying along those lines which I think applies here. Americans are spoiled, too easily entertained and too far removed from what it actually took to get to this place of relative comfort. Few are alive now to recount the blood and bodies that it took to get labor rights, to fight fascism, to gain civil rights and some basic services.
It might be unpopular to say, even around here, but capitalism eats everything around it and is absolute poison for a society that wants to be civilized. There’s nothing civilized about it.
I don’t think things always have to be mean and meager to keep everyone’s teeth sharp, we were supposed to remember the fight and be ready to fight again if necessary. We’ve failed to remember. We, as a whole, let the bad guys win.
