I'll never understand people who make poor people out to be villainous, capitalism depends on most people being poor


Actually, it doesn't. However, socialism depends on capitalism being vilified to not only offer itself as a replacement but to cover for its countless shortcomings.

I really can't tell your snark posts from your s***posts.


Im legit pure snark, people are mistaking my snark for shit lately... but really, there is an over abundance of love songs such as four on the floor


Probably because you do many shit topics. As for love, most people have experienced some feeling which they identify as love. Teens in particular fall in and out of what they think is love many times throughout high school.

It's not snarky or shitposting to say what Lokarin said.

I hate to break it to ya Zeus, but if a rapper talks about murder that doesn't mean they murdered someone.


Which is the silly and wrong idea that somebody has to have done something to write or sing out it. Murder is a part of thug life and, while most thugs haven't killed anybody, many of them fantasize about killing people. And, in general, murder isn't uncommon in our culture especially among the black community (half of all homicides in the US involve a black perpetrator and black victim) which, generally speaking, is the primary demographic for rap.

But yeah, not everyone can be rich, over 50% of the jobs in this country pay less then $15 an hour, or low enough to be considered "poor" if you work it full time. That pretty much has to stay that way for society to work the way it does right now and the rich to continue to enjoy their current lifestyles and opportunities.


Few things: While not everybody in this country can be rich at the same time, anybody in this country can be rich and most people are capable of earning a good income by the time they die.

Low-end jobs will always exist but, the fewer people around to do them, the more that the jobs will be forced to pay or to immigrate people to do the jobs (coincidentally, the H1B1 Visa program is used to screw Americans out of jobs since it gives guaranteed labor at a cheaper price). And, in general, if all people were equally intelligent and motivated, people would start low-paying jobs in their youth and work their way up over their lifetime. In our current system, a capable, intelligent, and motivated young person can leapfrog through the system while unmotivated, incapable older workers stay at the bottom.

So when the rich complain about the poor, it's like complaining about your slaves not being happy enough about being slaves.

yay capitalism

the snake that eats itself


More like socialism, given that it entails taking productive effort to allow and encourage people to be unproductive >_> It's an inherently self-destructive system.
