In reply to the discussion: can I just say.......WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FAWK!!!!!! [View all]BlueTsunami2018
(4,529 posts)Theres a saying along those lines which I think applies here. Americans are spoiled, too easily entertained and too far removed from what it actually took to get to this place of relative comfort. Few are alive now to recount the blood and bodies that it took to get labor rights, to fight fascism, to gain civil rights and some basic services.
It might be unpopular to say, even around here, but capitalism eats everything around it and is absolute poison for a society that wants to be civilized. Theres nothing civilized about it.
I dont think things always have to be mean and meager to keep everyones teeth sharp, we were supposed to remember the fight and be ready to fight again if necessary. Weve failed to remember. We, as a whole, let the bad guys win.
