If "false consciousness" was in the dictionary, this would be the example image
I don't need or want any hand outs
WHY THE FUCK NOT?! What's wrong with you?
Because it's a sin.
That's literally it. They equate it with sin. The sin of sloth. Not that they think in those terms (filthy Protestant heretics, the lot of them) but it's taboo because they think of it as stealing, because they don't see the whole picture, because it's been deliberately obscured from them their entire lives. If they were to understand just how much was being stolen from them every time they go to work, they'd know who to direct their anger at.

Right? I've been on disability for a decade. I will take literally whatever anyone offers me. Like, someone tells me "hey, you ever need anything, let me know" to be nice or whatever; well, they're getting hit up, cuz I need shit.
This song is a great example of the failure of the American left. These people are clearly exploited and should all be raging leftists.
It's hard not to fail when you keep being systematically murdered by the state using the wealth of imperial exploitation
The american left are too busy being class reductionist, patsoc, and whitewashing pieces of crap to be of any use.
Its going to be a long road to revival.
