Everyone’s like “when you stop being dirt poor you’ll start liking capitalism” and now that I’m actually able to survive and have some financial security I’m like, “nope still have long term memory and still want to Eat The Rich”
AKA: you don’t have to be the one suffering to want to end suffering
I’m fairly certain I am MUCH ANGRIER about capitalism now that I have a stable paycheck that allows me to save slightly. Not only did it take me so long to get here that I have terrible anxiety, but I see so many other people struggling and am still angry that they can’t survive easily.
They counted on you losing your empathy like they did.
