Also I'm hella grateful for the fact that I get to waste 12 years of my life learning a bunch of bullshit that'll never apply to any normal thing I'll ever actually do in life! Fuck getting to learn what you actually wanna learn about, that's probably what terrorists do.
All sarcasm aside, it's hard not to hate capitalism with all your heart when you've been growing up a poor teenager, like I have. Evidently, it seems you've never had to struggle with feeding yourself, Warden, and I'm glad for you. Just know capitalism is also the reason millions of families starve.
Fuck this country.
Not a single society in history has completely erased poverty. You can't. The world isn't perfect. But capitalism lifts more people out of poverty than any other economic system. Poor people in this country are much wealthier than poor people in underdeveloped countries that don't embrace capitalism. Are there exceptions? Sure.
What you learn (most of it, I do agree some stuff is stupid, common core is gay) in school can be useful in some way. You are smarter than you realize because you get to go to school everyday. Having a high school degree will make it far easier to stay out of poverty. You may not like it, but suck it up, its vital in life.
I'm sorry you have not had an easy life, but poor people in America are much wealthier than poor people in other countries. And no, I have not had to struggle feeding myself. Most people don't. Capitalism relives the suffering for the most people. I never said it did it for everyone. Life isint fair, but Capitalism is the fairest, because it rewards hard work. Communism punishes people for success, and makes everyone share the misery and poverty.
Capitalism is not the reason millions starve, it's their own choices that lead them there. My father and mother both grew up the children of poor farmers, and now they are millionaires (inb4 "wow you obviously have no idea how the world works bcuz ur parents have money") . Because they worked hard. I don't care where you are in life, you can make it better, but its not easy. Blaming the government and capitalism is a pussy excuse.
I never said I wasn't a pussy.
Also, I wasn't saying anything about communism anymore. I was just saying capitalism fucking sucks.
I do care about proof. that's why I hate capitalism.
I've barely started reading the listverse page and it's already giving me cancer.
