Not holding anything against anyone but flouting baseless unbacked "facts". Now you're getting even more offensive.
What I provided was only anecdotes. But that's more than your providing. And you could easily disprove it all by even providing basic facts. Instead of just calling things facts. You know how I know they're not facts? Because that's shit I low-key believed myself back in the late eighties as a young sheltered Midwestern teen. It wasn't true then either.
I get downvoted left and right all the time by statists. It's just something you get used to. And doesn't always mean wrong or right. Honestly often it's the opposite. Real Talk there's no shame in being wrong. Sometimes it's a gift and an opportunity. The only shame is in choosing to continue to be wrong or to not question what you believe.
Blaming exploited people for being exploited is victim blaming. I would think that would be pretty obvious why it's not popular. We should focus on blaming the people doing the exploiting. If you actually want to understand why they let themselves be exploited. It's not hard. Often being exploited here is still better than the conditions at home. That doesn't make it right or acceptable.
Yes the system isn't going to change if we all just passively accept it and the propaganda it puts forth as truth. As you have. Thankfully I think a lot of the kids are all right these days. Not nearly so bad or jaded as my fellow Gen X or their Boomer parents.
