The way they show you poor people get emotional and anxious over potentially winning or losing money that sometimes literally could mean LIFE to them. The way we casually show them on T.V as slaves of a cruel and nonsensical game whose rules are stupid, unfair and biased against them.

The way people can even somehow enjoy watching real life humans being ridiculed by an asshole in a suit that earns more money than any "player" could ever dream of having.

It's predatory, disgusting and a way of creating and weaponizing class contempt in the most passive of ways. Fuck Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

T.V is merely a way to sell our available brain time to advertisers. You don't need to read 1984 or Animal Farm or whatever anti communist text written by a snitch to see dystopia. Just push the button on the big screen in your living room and watch as thousands of brands try to convince you their product is the absolute way while utterly failing at accurately depicting actual humans. Because capitalism is everything but human.
