Also, it's possible to be priveliged and also understand and sympathize with the problems of other people.

“It’s not the class you were born into, it’s the class you’re willing to fight for.”
If he was poor the narrative would be he’s just jealous and should have got a job and worked his way up.
Exactly, when people at the top fight for people at the bottom, you need to show your support Because that person will not be allowed to remain at the top
Yep, I'm reminded of Nina van Zandt Spies an heiress who gave it up to marry one of the haymarket martyrs. Sure of the Haymarket widows she's no Lucy Parsons, but America couldn't handle the one of her, much less a second.
We don't have a great many stories of people betraying the upper class for the lower, but all who do are welcome among us far more than those who betray our class for the upper are among them.
interesting!
Yeah, the whole of the Haymarket affair is fascinating. It was a quick blurb in my history classes in school, but the rest of the world celebrates labor day on its anniversary.
Lucy Parsons is definitely the most interesting person involved. A freewoman who married a former confederate soldier (who would die for his role at Haymarket) and became a militant activist for anarchism and communism. She was a voice for returning fire on the rich and given her life story even liberals find it hard to blame her for it
It's also possible to be in a stereotypical privileged position while still suffering from terrible things such as health issues that are not covered and are costly.
Especially in America, where access to healthcare is gatekept by a special class of people whose permission you need to obtain healthcare.
Imagine if you needed a prescription for new clothes, and couldn’t buy new clothes until someone else signed a sheet of paper saying you were allowed to buy a pair of jeans.
That’s not in any way a free market.
Evidently you don't feel as strongly as he did to throw his privileged life away.
Well, I'm increasingly beginning to think that that guy isn't even the Adjuster himself, and we shouldn't treat him like he is guilty. (of doing such a wonderful thing)
He may end up not being the shooter but he has a history of posting things that align with the ideology
Apropos of nothing, have you seen the prices of handguns these days? Even the parts for a 3D printed one can run you $900, easy. Fucking ridiculous out here.
You can get a used glock for ~$400 USD.
Yet getting hernia corrected is $16,000. $900 barely pays the rent for a month anywhere in the country.
When the cost of living is so high the cost of dying needs to be levied on the ones responsible.
Doesn’t every county Texas hand one out to you as a coming of age gift when you turn 18? Or was the cartoon I watched as a kid lying.
Holy shit really? I could get a pistol for 400€. Is there some kind of monopoly stuff going on that tries to reserve weapons for the rich?
Edit: did a quick search and found one a lightly used one for 130€
Wait, so his suffering is less valid?
The hell?
More heads need to roll. To the guillotine!

I thought he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania?
Edit: I'm a moron and it's literally an Ivy League school. TIL
Basically Ivy league
