It was fairly recent for me, within the last year actually. I used to be one of the poor victims of capitalist propaganda. “Work hard and you’ll make tons of money and be well off”. That’s all BS, working hard isn’t enough anymore. Need emergency medical attention? BOOM there goes all your savings, assuming you could afford to have any in the first place. Need affordable housing? Here’s one room in someone else’s home for $1000 dollars. Food? We have record profits and we’re STILL gonna raise the price of everything. Want a decent paying job? “Go to college, oh and don’t bitch when you’re in debt even though we told you that’s the best way to go. You should have just learned a trade dummy”.
I can barely pay rent and afford all my bills plus groceries every month. One bad week of work and I’d be completely screwed on paying for anything. Fuck this system and all the people who think it’s ok.
