To build off this, Our current economic system pushes a psychology that if you dont produce some value to some GDP, then you have no right to eat. Who cares if you need nutrition to be any good to anyone else.
Working to keep your head above ever increasing rent, food prices, along with everything else.
Well there's a reason the song goes "Bread and Roses" We need the means to sustain ourselves but the mind like the body needs to be fed, too. It's not enough to just get by: EVERYONE deserves the finer things in life, yes, everyone.
And until that requirement is met, yes I feel the obligation, as I recognize the irony, to bite the hand that feeds, by the system that affords me the luxury, until everyone has everything they need.
Anything short of that is just talk by class traitors or those employing them.
